When you're the Black Sheep of the Family😅

Let's get it!

So I don't know about anyone else but I have always kind of known that I am the black sheep of my family and I am currently something something years old (grown 😂) and it is something that doesn't bother me as much as it used to. I could be sad about it but I've learned to use it to my advantage the way I use being the eldest or having siblings 😌. 

Now for those of you who don't know what it means to be the black sheep of the family well here it is; A black sheep is a family member who is marginalized, treated differently or excluded by the rest of the family.

In my family it's definitely not as bad as the description I've provide above but it also fits the narrative. It's also something that I've brought up with my mom especially but it always gets denied to some degree and honestly that's fine, I've learned to create boundaries and not let it get to me because honestly what can I do if they refuse to accept it. Such is such I guess. However, what I have tried to do alongside setting boundaries is to also remind myself that I am more than the negative labels they have applied to me or the negative things they've done to me. Hence, while I cannot change their minds, I can change how I deal with being the 'black sheep' and that is exactly what I've continued to do throughout my life. 

If anyone of you can relate then talk to me about it in the comments section.
