Being an elder daughter🥀

People often say to me, You’re so lucky you’re the eldest daughter the only sister.
These are the words I hear almost every time I tell someone that I’m the only and eldest daughter.It really makes me think is it truly that lucky?I don’t see it as being unlucky not at all. Being the eldest and the only daughter is a beautiful thing. But at the same time there are many responsibilities and challenges that come with it things that only an eldest and only daughter has to face things others may never fully understand.Somehow every person goes through certain phases in life that are unique to them alone.Here I’m talking about the journey of an eldest daughter.

The eldest child is often the parent's experiment. They don’t really know how to raise a child how to treat them or how to handle everything properly.Sometimes they become overprotective or over possessive focusing a lot on physical care.But emotional health often gets ignored.
Life doesn’t wait to give us time to learn how to handle it. It shows us its ups and downs very early.We understand things at such a deep level that we don’t even get the chance to be surprised.
Life doesn’t wait to give them time to learn how to handle it.It shows them its ups and downs very early.They grow up quickly carrying expectations on their shoulders learning lessons before they’re ready.Things become so clear so deep that there’s hardly any room left for surprise only understanding.
Yet, there is strength in this journey.Being the eldest shapes a person into someone responsible independent and emotionally strong.They develop deep understanding patience and leadership qualities.They learn how to stand on their own how to protect others and how to guide without being asked.
Being the eldest isn’t always easy but it creates a strength that only those who live it truly understand.
This is why the eldest child grows differently not because they want to but because life teaches them early.And through it all they learn to stand strong with grace.😌❤️‍🩹🙌
