Day 4: Your sibling (or closest relative)

I decided to continue the 30 day posts thingy which I have been putting off for too long. So here goes:


Some of you probably already know that I am an only child (which equals to NO siblings at all).

For some odd reason when people get to know that I’m the only kid in my family, they tend to think that I’m either Very lucky because then it means that I’ll get EVERYTHING that I want and get all the love in the world.. or they think that I’m quite ‘unlucky’; simply because I have ‘nobody’ to talk with, share stuff with or when I was younger, nobody to play with ==’

Seriously, G.A.G.A.L <Go And Get A Life>!

So what if I’ve got no brother or sister? It ain't the end of the world, yet. I still have 14 other cousins and 2 nephews on my mum’s side and 6 others on my dad’s side means brings about a total of 22 ‘siblings’ I can talk with, share stuff with and when I was younger to play with(: And this doesn’t even include the Family I have, thanks my Father, the JS 2011 clan, the sisters I made in Perak while studying there, and there so many more. So, please don’t envy me or pity me..

I’m blessed in many ways. By being the only child, I have been able to experience things differently. I am who and what I am today because of the way I grew up solo. I certainly have to thank God for my parents, and the love, care and support that He shows me through them. Couldn’t ask for more. I might be spoilt(sort of) but that does not mean that I’m not independent :p

It’s fun at times and it gets lonely. But I’ve not had any other way before, so I don’t know what’s it like to have someone else who grew up with me. But more than half the time, I enjoy my privacy and the quiet times I get without any distractions to think about things or sometimes to wander off to dreamland, daydreaming..hehe!

We all have our differences and most of it is influenced by our backgrounds, most importantly how we grew up. So, don’t complain about your siblings and don’t EVER think that your parents love you lesser than they love your siblings or that they don’t love  you at all… Ugh! Stop being self-centred and stop pitying yourself. Look at the bright side, you’re put in that particular family for a reason. Find out what it is, see how different and fortunate you are to have your parents and brother/s and/or sister/s.. If you insist on saying that no one does love ya, please remember that one Person does love you, my Father in heaven does. A lot. ((:

I have come to accept the fact that I am blessed in a special way and  I wouldn’t want to have it any other way. My life is ‘perfect’ as it is, though I wouldn’t mind adding a few more people to my ‘extended’ family list. :D
