I come from a close-knitted family of five Children plus our parents making seven. I have barely had many female friends because of my close relationship with my sisters, especially Isabelle.
Everywhere we have been people doubt she’s my sister, they argue she’s my friend or cousin.
Well, I stopped trying to explain a long time ago because she’s my sister and nothing will change that.
Well, we grew up together, did everything together. She has followed me about my whole life even till today. We live in the same city despite being married.
One thing most people don’t know about us is that we both studied Mass Communication at the same University in the same class.
We graduated the same day December 8, 2011. Our parents’ three daughters graduated the same day. Interesting isn’t it.
Well, God’s ways are not our ways. We Served the same year and Isabelle and I studied for a Masters’s degree in the same university and the same class.
Now, this is the emotional part. I have always felt that she was in my shadow and I mean no disrespect. I felt she believed she can’t outshine me, be better than me which is not true. She is super intelligent and smart.
We have different ideas and interest even as it relates to what we read. I have always believed she’s unique.
I have no interest in news writing for instance but she’s very good at it, I love to write articles and other things.
It brings me so much joy seeing her step out on her writing news for fun on Facebook and I’m happy people are beginning to take notice of her unique talent.
She’ll make an amazing news presenter. There are so many things she’s good at and finally, she’s finding those things for herself.
It got me thinking about how we are all unique in our way. Every one of us has that unique touch that we must find to stand out.
You just need to believe in yourself and believe you are unique in your way. Don’t let anyone tell you you are not good enough because you are.
Everyone has a void they are expected to fill. Please find it.
