I can definitely relate, it's a weird self fulfilling cycle.

i am the youngest in my family with 3 older sisters. they always say i’m the spoiled one and i don’t understand certain things and they make me feel bad about being the youngest. now i am the only one in my house with my parents and we don’t even talk. it feels like my sisters were the glue holding my parents and i together. we all used to eat dinner together now it’s rare that i see them in a day. being the youngest people say it is the easiest but i have grown up just to watch my sisters leave and move on with their lives. like we still talk but it’s mostly around birthdays or holidays. i always feel like i need my big sisters to help because they know but also i don’t want to burden them with my problems. feeling like the buzzkill of the family has never felt so real. i’m always separating myself from the family because of college and my two jobs. i’m always tired by the time they come over and they joke about my fake job. i mean i guess my job isn’t what i want it to be forever. i work in a bakery and babysit everyday and go to classes. i am going to school to achieve my dream job but the bakery is what feels like home for now.

I’m the youngest in my family. I love them, but sometimes it feels like my older brothers have messed up so my much my parents just assume that I’ll make up for it, and I do. I get good grades and I’m going to go to school and study medicine and I’m gonna be more successful than my brothers but do I really want that? Not really. I want to go back in time where we’re all sitting on the couch and my brothers are both playing FIFA and I’m watching and cheering them on, switching sides ever so often to make it even.

I miss being young and I miss when my family was young.

Family is so scary, I relate to this, I’m terrified of calling my moms side of the family, been disconnected. I just try to think about the future like mmm maybe someday I’ll build the family that loves me truthfully and never ignorant.

Give them a call when it seems less scary:) I’m sure they’ll all love to hear from you
