Have you ever felt memories that don’t belong to you?

Have you ever felt memories that don’t belong to you?
Vague images, ancient emotions, unexplained fears, or a deep pull toward places your feet have never touched…

Perhaps it’s not your imagination.

In the field of epigenetics, there is a phenomenon known as transgenerational inheritance –
which suggests that traumatic experiences such as fear, hunger, war, or loss can leave a biological imprint on the DNA,
altering how genes express themselves without changing their actual code.

These modifications can be passed down to children, influencing their emotions and behavior on a subconscious level.

Now imagine this:
Just as you inherit the shape of your grandfather’s face,
you may also inherit his sense of disorientation, his survival of a near-death escape,
or even his longing for a homeland you’ve never known.

So be conscious of every experience that changes you deeply.
Every pain you accept without understanding,
every fear you swallow in silence,
may not end with you… but begin again in your child.

And know this: your child will not inherit all that you are,
but only who you were at the moment you conceived them.
Everything you go through afterward – growth, breakdown, wisdom or transformation –
will not be passed on…
unless you bring another child into the world.

In this way, each birth carries a new version of you.
Children, in truth,
are not just an extension of your life –
they are time-stamped records of your evolving self.
So choose carefully which version of yourself you wish to pass on to future generations.
