Middle Child Syndrome

ohhhhhh yea, it's a thing.

Being the middle child makes you a lot of different things. and the main thing it makes you, is down right fabulous.

there are positives and negatives of being the middle child. but overall, you're basically a rockstar. you do so much and crush it at life. even without getting all the attention and appreciation everyone else seems too. [if you feel differently - comment, lets have a chat! - or even if you feel the same. lets chat about it. i'm always interested in hearing about how other peoples views and how they feel!]

now i made a little video since for a lot of people - reading isn't their thing, but they'll watch a 5min or so video. so - here's the link below! - if you dont wanna watch, you can keep reading about all the fun middle child bulllshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhit. (its actually mostly positive, its just funny to joke about).

low self-esteem

it sucks - but i'm working on it. i work on it every day. gaining confidence has only hapened for me within the past maybe 2 years. .. i found this amazing group of girl friends in college that lift me up every single day. on top of that, i'm lucky to have 2 of the bestest of friends from elementary school. and a few that stuck around from highschool - even if we dont talk every day. they help me an unreal amount.

crave attention

that's not new news, i post about myself, my accomplishments, my failures, my fuck ups, my feelings. - i have 4 instagram accounts and a ton of other social media.. i post to get responses, to feel noticed, to feel like people pay attention to me.. even if it only is a split second.

i wouldnt have it any other way. i grew into the person i am today because of all of the positives and negatives of it. it made me who i am. in this situation - the positives outweigh the negatives by a landslide, so lets chalk that one up as a win.

we're outgoing

very social and can make friends with pretty much anyone. now, despite my bitch face and aggressive undertone, or edge if you will, i am great and making friends. (not always right away, i tend to be very picky with the people i have in my life).

we're good at knowing and understanding alone time

wether that has to do with our own alone time, or someone elses. we understand the need for it and don't get offended when someone needs it.

we're the peace keepers

grounded and keep the peace within the family. everyone comes to us when the feel in need, or just want someone to talk to. someone to come to when they feel grounded.

we're very independent

you get to know everything you have to do, on your own. making breakfast, doing laundry, getting everything done for school the next day. highly responsible and common sense in majority of situations.

if you're a middle child, we got this. we're doing great. we're all beautiful and killing it. you got this. - and if you're not the middle child, you're still doing great, you're still beautiful, and you still got this.
