“Geniuses can be scintillating and geniuses can be somber, but it’s that inescapable sorrowful depth that shines through--originality.”

 A REAL CASE OF MIDDLE CHILD SYNDROME
Middle Child Syndrome...ABSOLUTELY I had it. To make matters worse was that my older sibling was a girl and the baby was a boy. Like the typical Middle Child (MC) in any situation like this, you were faced with a choice; be swallowed in the shadows of those two or do your damnedest to stand out and get their attention. Maybe it was my destiny to be the Alpha female of the pack, but I did the 'do my damnedest to get their attention' route. Hence, the competitive nature I behold today. (Side Note: Of course I had to post the awkward childhood photo of us three. I love it!)

The winds have shifted, therefore the sands have too. Things will never be the same. Every decision made, has affected the course. A split decision changed everything. What once was, will never be. What is now, is so foreign to me. In more ways than one. Life as I knew is forever gone.  |
