My Little Treasure

It's always hard being second best, but it's even harder being second best in your family. I never lived up to the high expectations that my parents held for me, unlike my brother. It was crystal clear that I was the disappointment in the family. All I wanted was a normal life, with a normal job and a normal boyfriend. But I always find a way to mess everything up. I always find a way to ruin anything that's pure and good in my life. I was a ticking time bomb, about to explode.

“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet.
