15: MY FAMILY | THE ONES I CARE ABOUT THE MOST

HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE AN OUTSIDER IN YOUR OWN FAMILY?

MAYBE MY STORY CAN HELP!

MEET MY FAMILY..

I am the last kid of six children.
My mom had 6 whole kids ya'll!
2 boys and 4 precious girls..

Growing up as the last kid in the family, I've always felt lonely. I don't know I guess I kind of felt as if the whole world was moving on so fast and I was barely catching up.
My mom raised 5 kids before having me, so when I arrived, she didn't really have the energy to yell and scream at me anymore, thus I got all the freedom a kid could ask for. I'd come home late as a teenager, had my own housekey, got to move out at the age of 16 etc..

Fitting into my family

Having this huge agegap of almost 12 years with my siblings, i always felt alone and misunderstood. I've never felt included and always ran to my aunt whom had so much love and attention for me.

As I got older, I realized that my people are the only people who will stand by me through literal thick and thin!
They will hold me when I feel like crying
and laugh with me when something is great
They will also be the ones to bury me when my time has come...

And I got to discover that by simply telling them how I've always felt all of those years.. abandoned misunderstood and very unloved. Little by little I saw that they were all individually trying their best to be better siblings, calling and asking me to go out with them, my brother recently said I am the most brilliant upon all of us for being so brave and starting my own company, my other siblings calls me weekly to get the happs and my mom comes over to my appartment every now and then to bring me groceries..❤️

As human beings we are so tied to our emotions and we expect people that have known us our whole life to know how we feel and what we experience, but the truth is that family works like every other relationship.. with great communication, trust, consideration and harmony..
Treat them as if you were going to get to know someoner new and I promise you life will change! ❣️

I love my tribe, forever and always, because they are all I have!
