Our siblings push buttons that cast us in roles we felt sure we had let go of long ago - the baby, the peacekeeper, the caretaker, the avoider…. It doesn’t seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we’ve traveled.
I thrive in anonymity. It’s how I get by every day. Where my life has been filled with unfulfilled expectations, I am much happiest in knowing that no one’s watching, that I can be who I am, have what I want, do what I love to do.
