Time to let a few things go...
Mar 03, 2010
I am the middle child. I have an older brother and a younger sister. We grew up in the same house, similar interests, and had the same hockey arena diet for a long time- but they are thin and I resent that. I look at my siblings who I love, greatly, and I resent them their ability to eat normally.Growing up my sister was the pretty one, the funny one, the interesting one... I was the other one. That is tough to take and it leads to new levels of sibiling rivalry. Competing to be smarter, funnier, listen to better music, reading better books, etc. My sister being prettier and thinner than me really made me a very interesting, educated, well travelled person and I am really glad that she gave me that.
So I have decided to let the rest of it go. I no longer care that she is more attractive than I am, I am proud of how amazingly kind she is, how intelligent her conversation is and how incredibly wise she has grown to be and I have to believe that if her looks caused me to grow into the person I am now- maybe mine caused her to be the person she is.
