I used to feel left out in my family,
Like the one who didn’t fit in.
I didn’t know who to blame, so I blamed myself.
I distanced myself & accepted the uneasy pain as truth.

I told myself it was hard to fit in -
They were so successful and amazingly talented.
Lawyer, psychologist, teacher, biz exec, marketing guru -
“How can I possibly compete with that?” I’d say.
Yup, COMPETE! #backwards

What I’ve found as I peeled back layers,
In families, like in life -
Fitting in will always feel awkward.
But most of all, there is no need to compete.
There is always room for you.
As long as you stay true to who you are.

What you say & believe is truth
Choose your thoughts and words carefully.

Thank you to my amazing siblings!
I love you and am so grateful for the lessons
You’ve taught me without even knowing it.

Happy Siblings Day ❤️
