Sometimes we feel connected to elders that are not necessarily our ancestors, or not even people we met and were close to. Sometimes we just have a special connection with the idea of a certain generation who lived on a given spot on the planet. It’s just hard to understand why when a cultural world emotionally overwhelms you. It’s different from just liking something; it’s more about feeling a familial linage with someone when you don’t. I guess a fantasy of where you could be from.
