The Bad Influence

I’ve always been triggered when a thought flying like a hook from a song :

My Brother is more attractive than me.

My Brother is smarter than me.

He knows how to talk to girls when I can’t even stand to talk with anyone.

He has so many exes, I have ex-friends.

He’s good with kids, and husband material, I’m the childish one.

I stood in front of the mirror, I look myself in it and I said “You’re fine. Don’t you realize all those differences just make you, you, yourself, not your brother?”

That day I accepted myself.
