Role models, almost everyone has one. And overall they are great to have. But if you are like me, it feels more like growing plants.
Every time they succeed I once again realize how proud i am to look up to them and be able to be around them but once again i'm thrown into the shadow of someone.
They are doing so good, all the time.
I watch everyone i love and care about grow and flourish doing what they love, but soon im in the deepest, darkest part of the forest. In everyone elses' shadows i cant grow. My self worth is wilted and damaged. Sure i get the water i need to survive but where's my progress, where's the sun?
But not everyone grows up to be something amazing and fabulous. And i know that i wont. I just need to accept that.
All a person like me will be is a wilted flower in a beautiful meadow.
