People always joke that middle children are the forgotten ones.
Maybe.
But I don't see it as a weakness anymore.
Being in the middle taught me independence. It taught me how to work without validation, solve problems on my own, and keep showing up even when no one was watching.
Looking back, I wouldn't change it.
The things I once thought were disadvantages became the exact skills that helped me build the life I have today.
To every middle child reading this: your story doesn't have to be about being overlooked. It can be about becoming unstoppable.
