This was such a resonant read! I particularly appreciated how you've embraced your chaos and compassion, truly owning your unique journey. It's inspiring to see that comfort in your own skin.
I did, however, find myself pausing at the image suggesting the older daughter 'has it worse.' While I agree that women often face significant challenges, as a second daughter myself, I know that 'easy' isn't really in the cards for any of us. Every position within a family, regardless of birth order, comes with its own distinct set of pressures and complexities. Perhaps the struggles are just different, rather than inherently 'worse' for one over another?
Ofcourse, we can write about the other siblings too :D. I think it doesn't matter if you are elder or not, every role comes with it's own set of challenges.
