Generation 1:
You move to the big city with stars in your eyes and a dream in your heart finally, you’re going to follow your passion and make it as an actor. After many auditions and small roles, you land a job that gives you hope for more and it’s there that you meet the colleague who will soon steal your heart.
The love affair is intense, almost cinematic. You get married, and life seems to be heading towards a happy ending. But your happiness doesn’t last long. In the middle of your pregnancy, you discover the unthinkable, your partner has been unfaithful. Broken, but stronger than you thought, you make the tough choice and file for divorce.
In the emotional aftermath, your loyal best friend forces you (to put it mildly) to try a dating app, just to get you back into your life. Reluctantly, you say yes. What started as a random swipe turned into something real. You meet someone who sees you for who you are not for the role you play. Love grows slowly but surely and you fall pregnant again.
Generation 2:
You grew up in the spotlight, with a famous mother and a stepfather you never connected with strict, controlling, and emotionally distant. When they had a child together, your halfsibling, you loved them deeply, but you felt yourself fading into the background. Life revolved around appearances, interviews, and scripted smiles. There was never space for who you truly were. As a teenager, you had enough. You left it all behind and started over in a quiet apartment, far from fame and expectations.
Working a barista job as a teen, you slowly built a new life. Friends who didn’t know your past, freedom to be yourself and through one of those friends, you met someone who saw you with no filters. On the first date, something shifted. You felt real.
You built a home together, had two children, and created a life grounded in love and trust. But marriage? That was never part of the plan. After your father’s betrayal and watching your mother’s heartbreak, you stopped believing in vows on paper.
Generation 3:
You grew up in a loving home, guided by a strong and compassionate mother, and inspired by a grandmother who once graced the stage. From a young age, you knew you didn’t want the spotlight you wanted to write it.
That dream followed you into adulthood. And one quiet afternoon in a small café, you met someone who would change the course of your story. Together, you built a home filled with laughter, creativity, and four wonderful children. But life, in all its beauty and fragility, took a sharp turn. Your partner passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind deep grief and a new reality. Now, you carry the weight of being a single parent, holding the family together with love, strength, and the same resilience you once saw in your own mother.
Through heartbreak and healing, you continue to write and your legacy lives on not only in the stories you tell, but in the children you raise, the love you still carry, and the life you continue to build page by page.
Generation 4:
You grew up without a father, he passed away when you were very young. Leaving your mother to raise you and your three siblings on her own. Despite the weight on her shoulders, she did everything she could, balancing late nights as a bestselling author with early mornings making sure you felt safe and loved.
Still, love always made you uneasy. Watching your mother live with the loss of the man she loved shaped something in you fear, maybe, or deep caution. You became paranoid at even the thought of falling in love, worried the same kind of heartbreak might find you too. Music gave you comfort. Science gave you direction. After a one night stand, you found yourself pregnant.
Now, like your mother once did, you stand as a single parent, doing your absolute best. To help you feel safer, especially during the long, quiet nights, you adopted a dog. Loyal, protective, and always close by, your dog became not just a companion, but a source of calm and courage.
Generation 5:
You were raised by a paranoid mother and born from a one night stand, with almost no relationship with your biological father. Your dog was your best friend growing up, and your mother’s roommate became like family to you. As a child, you often felt angry that your life didn’t look like everyone else’s. You envied the so called “normal” families and felt like you’d been dealt an unfair hand.
In your teens, the weight of it all became too much. Tired of living under your mother’s fears and her refusal to let love in, you ran away. You ended up in a run down house far from ideal but it was all you could afford with your fast food job.
Your path as a young adult was anything but traditional. You chose a career most wouldn’t understand, but you found someone who did a coworker who saw you for who you really were. Love grew unexpectedly. You married and had two children, creating the family you once longed for.
Years later, you found your way back to your mother. The relationship isn’t perfect, but it’s stronger, more honest.
Generation 6:
Growing up as a twin, you were constantly compared, even though you and your sibling were nothing alike. Your parents dressed you the same and made you share a room, even though all you wanted was a bit of space.As a teen, you worked hard and moved out to an apartment on your own. You finally had the privacy you always wanted, but it turned into loneliness. You started dating and somehow ended up seeing three people at once. When they found out, they all left you, and you were left feeling more alone than ever. So, you got a cat to keep you company.
Eventually, your twin introduced you to their best friend, and you fell hard. They didn’t feel the same way at first, but you didn’t give up. Over time, they came around, though they had commitment issues and didn’t want to get married, which you were fine with.
It took a while get pregnant because you struggled to fall pregnant as YA, but when you finally fell pregnant as an adult, you gave that child everything. They were deeply loved.
Generation 7:
You grew up as an only child and were, of course, spoiled by your parents. You were deeply wanted and always got everything you wished for. You had the biggest room in the house. As a teenager, you didn’t need to work much because your parents gave you an allowance, which you saved up to eventually buy your own house as a young adult. Being spoiled throughout your childhood made you quite the snob, you only wanted the best of the best. You also wanted to help others create beautiful homes, so you chose a career as an interior decorator.
All your life, you dreamed of finding true love, and one day, you met that person while out on the town. It was love at first sight, but there was just one problem, they didn’t want children, and you did.
Despite the difference, you had a magical wedding, and eventually, you got the two children you had always dreamed of. However, your partner wasn’t as happy about it as you were.
Generation 8:
Your childhood was shaped by a loving mother and a father who never seemed to care. No matter how hard you tried to earn his approval, it never came. Instead, you found comfort in your older sibling, the two of you relying on each other when your father was emotionally absent.
The experience left a mark. You avoided the idea of having children, afraid of repeating his mistakes. You poured yourself into your work as a police officer. Then, unexpectedly, you fell for someone you’d once arrested. Despite your family’s disapproval, you eventually married in a small private ceremony, just the two of you.
Looking back, you wish you had listened to them, your partner was unfaithful more than once. Just as everything was falling apart, you discovered you were pregnant. Left to face it alone, your mother became your anchor, helping you through single parenthood when you needed her most.
Generation 9:
Your childhood was shaped by the quiet strength of your grandmother. With your mother raising you on her own and often away working, it was your grandmother who raised you. She was your world. The two of you shared a deep bond, full of laughter. As you grew into a teen, you began to feel the absence of your mother. You broke curfew, threw parties, hoping she’d care. It was your grandmother who picked up the pieces, who stayed constant. She felt like your mother.
You left home as a young adult, you followed a path that felt natural to you, bartending. Life was loud and full of energy. You loved the nightlife, being social, the feeling of being surrounded by people. You shared an apartment with a roommate who became your bestfriend, and at a parth, you met someone who slowly captured your heart.You didn’t get married, but you did get engaged and you threw a huge party to celebrate. As you both became adults, the partying slowed down, and together you had three children.
Generation 10:
You are the last in your legacy, and you grew up with the coolest parents you could ever have asked for. You and your siblings truly had nothing to complain about in your childhood. Your parents would always tell the funniest and most fascinating stories from their lives before having kids, and you looked up to them with admiration. They inspired you, and you wanted nothing more than to be just as cool as they were. You and your siblings shared a close and loving bond.
As a young adult, you moved out and chose to pursue a career as an astronaut. Space had always fascinated you, so it felt like the perfect path. Through a friend of a colleague, you met the love of your life, and the connection between you was instant. You never understood why your parents never got married, but for you, marriage was important. You had a beautiful, big wedding surrounded by friends and family. Together, you built a home full of laughter, joy, and children.
