I've always lived in the shadow of my brother, and that's fine because he really is amazing. There isn't much he can't do. Ten years ago I tried to do better than him, but it never worked. Five years ago I gave up trying, I just didn't see the point; I'd never be anywhere near as good as him at anything. Then I grew to accept it.
I'm kinda short (5'2") and so people tend to treat me as though I am a lot younger than I am. Which I'm used to now, but every now and then I shock people. My actions show people that I'm not the little girl that they like to think but a woman with valid thoughts and feelings.
I've finally got that urge back to prove myself. Not to try and do the same things as my brother but to do the things he's never tried, the things he would never think to try and the things that shock people. I feel like I've been underestimated for most of my life and for a while I figured that meant I didn't need to try or that I didn't need to try very hard. Now I figure that if I'm going to do something I may as well do it properly, and that is exactly what I do.
