Great article! Would have been great to have read while growing up. As the firstborn, golden child, the expectations were not to be believed. I had to be perfect, body and soul. Then of course came their disappointment when I turned out to be rather ordinary. I remember finally realizing I could embrace my ordinariness, relax and give up trying so hard. I just loved being a regular person for a change!
