THE YOUNGEST

Being the youngest in the family has its perks. I’m my mother’s favourite, and I’m always the most cared for. But that love comes with a lot of responsibility. I have to do my best to keep the peace in the family, living in a way that meets their expectations so I don’t let anyone down. I often find myself cleaning up the mess my older siblings leave behind, stepping in to calm things when they get tense and making sure everything feels okay again.  Sometimes, I wonder if anyone notices how much effort it takes to hold things together. The youngest carry more of the struggle than anyone realize.
