Being The Middle Child And What It Means

Being the middle child and what it means

I think we've all stumbled upon the silly jokes on Pinterest and even here about what it means to be the middle child. A bunch of brave souls have even posted comedic reels on TikTok explaining in a funny way a lot of things middle children go through. However, I am not here to talk about those.

No, I am here to talk about how tiring it is to be the middle child for a whole other reason. You are always the mediator; you are always trying to balance things out between the older and the youngest sibling. The mediator between the other siblings and the parents. Probably, it's not the same for all middle children; but God am I tired of always trying to explain to every single person in my family what the other means. Always the one the others are going to complain to. For a while it is nice, you are seen, you are trusted, but how much weight can you carry? You get to understand everyone but no one gets you or each other because they just can't speak their minds to each other.

The double role you have to fill in; not just a younger sibling but also an older one as well. It takes some time to get used to. Especially, when the youngest sibling is younger for more than three years. Personally, I still can't shake my younger sibling behaviour off; I still make my older brother's life a living hell. I still prank him in the way only younger siblings do. He is the one I call when I don't know something, cause it's easier to ring him than search it on Google. At the same time, I can't help constantly worrying about my little brother; I need to put him to bed when he is drunk and emotional, set a bucket by his bed and make sure he sleeps on his side. I still whine at my older brother when he doesn't go along with all my whims but I also act the same as him with our younger brother.

Being the middle child means you are always in the middle of everything whether you want it or not. It is tiring, it is tough, and sometimes it drives you insane. Nevertheless, I wouldn't change it for the world.

Sore muscles and Sibling love

My little brother came to the gym with me last week cause I wanted us to workout together one last time before he left for uni. Later, when we arrived home, our mom told me that he usually gets his workouts done during the weekdays and lets himself rest on the weekends. So basically, he had an extra workout because I wanted to lift some weights with him for the last time in what might be months before we see each other again. We now live in totally different cities which are a 9-hour drive away from each other, but I still have the sore muscles from our workout two days ago and the knowledge that he cares enough to actually waste his rest day for me. Siblings are a pain in the ass sometimes, but -God- do they care. My brothers are infuriating, but these little acts of love show how much they care. They may be annoying, but they are always there. Even if we don't live in the same place anymore.

-Waiting-

Didn’t I told you to wait? yes, wait patiently. You don’t have to be perfect, you can’t be but be patient with yourself.

I have seen how things changes so quickly each passing day. It’s like in a moment, I watched this kid walking in front of me and after a few blinks an old man passed away. The world is a place of constant change, nothing stays the same.

Of course, eventually some thought there are things that until now they haven’t had any changes over the passing of time but some changes doesn’t have to be obvious. They just happen even before we notice them.

So to you my friend, dear heart, dear self, be patient. Your season is not yet here, summer may burn your skin or change the color of your eyes.

Maybe, those storms has hardened your heart but soon when even a leaf won’t fall from the tree, right when you’re about to close your eyes, you’ll be quickened and all you have to do is take a step forward because finally, you discover your purpose.

Everything will fall into place and all you have to do is follow where light & love leads you. But for now, stay objective, keep trying, believe, pray, do what’s necessary, just don’t compromise. You’ll get there, satisfied, healed, loved, fulfilled, mattered and accomplished. Don’t worry, my dear, you’ll finish well.

//Me To You//

‘destiel is queerbait’ ‘destiel is canon and therefore not queerbait’

wrong. destiel defies regular definitions of canon and queerbait and in fact it’s both because of the sheer chaos going on in that writers room,, like one writer was doing heartfelt canon destiel, another one was only doing destiel for the bit, another one was doing queerbait destiel, another one was doing unrequited destiel, another one was actively trying to undermine someone else’s work and view of the pairing, and I could go on

when talking about fleabag, we all talk about "I love you"/" it'll pass" but what we don't talk about maybe cause it's implied, maybe cause just quoting this encapsulates the feeling but listen,

the lines go fleabag saying "I love you" and the hot priest says "it'll pass" and THEN HE SAYS "i love you too"

idk if you have to name it to know it, but the fact that he confesses his love for her, the fact that he chose God, the fact that despite right person-wrong time or maybe wrong person-right time, despite all that, it'll pass. The love wasn't unrequited but the choice was. the subsequent grief, heartbreak, it'll pass

this is just earth-shattering, cause the only person that truly saw her, loved her for what she was, didn't choose her, and no matter what it'll pass. as if the greatest heartbreak of life is that it keeps moving on and you have to move on with it POETIC CINEMA
