Comparison of Me and My Aunt

Have you ever heard of that saying, “if you hang around a person a lot you end up acting and looking like them”? I don’t believe that saying at all, but I guess it could be true in my case. Everyone swears up and down that I am my aunt’s biological daughter, but I’m just her niece who she raised as her own. When my aunt tells her friends or people who she works with that I’m just her niece they become so shocked that I’m not her daughter, and she ends up boosting their head up by telling them that we even act alike.

My attitude does not come from my aunt, I’m not ill tempered like her. Many things do not upset me and I can let a lot of things go. My aunt is not like that, she has to speak her mind on everything. If she does not something, she will let you know immediately. Her attitude is on the self-absorbed side; if it’s not about her or benefitting her then she doesn’t want to even be around you. Unlike her, I don’t mind if the spotlight isn’t on me nor do I try to direct it either. She’s a perfectionist when it comes to her looks , everything has to be done from her toes all the way to her hair and she doesn’t care about the cost. Me on the other hand, some days I won’t do my hair or go get my eyebrows waxed or I even will go a full week without getting a fill-in for my nails. Things like that do not matter to me, but to her they are very important

Another difference is the way we dress. My aunt is more on the voluptuous and curvy side on the spectrum, so she wears things that instantiate her curves. I’m very self conscious about my body, I don’t like to show too much, because I’ll feel naked. My aunt’s motto is the shorter the better. My aunt surrounds herself around smaller figure women, so she always wearing short dresses and tight shorts with heels. I can not walk in heels to save my life! That’s one thing i do envy about her is that she is confident and she can walk flawlessly in heels. Heels hurt my feet not even after a long period of time, she can wear heels all day if she has too. My aunt wears six inch and over heels, while I’m still trying to learn how to walk correctly in two inch clog heels.

I believe the biggest difference between us would be our choice of friends. My aunt never surrounds herself around people who are like minded like her. Her friends’ lifestyles are nothing like hers; my aunt is happily married, owns a house and drives a brand new car. Her friends either are young, do not posses a car and/or still chasing after the fathers of their children. My friends are either on my level or doing better than I. Her friends are also loud and ghetto, my friends are not nowhere near that; I would not be hanging out with her friends if they were my age.

Besides me favoring my aunt in looks, her and I do not act nothing alike. She’s all about herself and girly. She cares a lot about her appearance and what people has to say about her. She likes to wear very provocative things, and she’s outspoken. My aunt also wears her head high and walks with confidence. Unlike her I’m not girly and what people say about me does not bother me. I trip when walking in heels, I don’t like tight fitting clothes because I feel fat. Even though I’m nothing like my aunt, I admire the the things the differences between us; I admire her cockiness and confidence. She knows who she is and no one can tell her different.
