Someone Within me asked

why does comparison hurt so much?

why can't people just understand that I am different from my siblings?.

I just sent my 1st semester results home and all I needed to hear, all I wanted to hear were words of encouragement but what I I hear?

my elder brother's result was perfect.

he is in arts, am in science for crying out loud.

I  hate competition

I hate comparison

all I always want is for me to be treated as me.

I could be better if I am appreciated for the ones I do.

is encouragement too much to ask for?

am just saying
