Dear 35 years old anonymous oldest sibling,
I read your letter and I felt the pain you're going through.
As an older sibling myself I understand that feeling. Although my sibling and cousins don't really depend on me since they're all kids I understand the worry you're feeling.
I'm not even your age I'm much younger than you but just so you know I really look up to you and I'm so proud of how you've overcome all those.
Because I've struggled carrying people's problems as-well and it's not just for my siblings but for my friends too and I don't really choose to carry their weight, it just naturally weighs me somehow. My parents have always told me that as the oldest sibling and cousin I should be setting high standards for the younger ones but I seem to unsatisfy them every step I take and because of that I admire how strong you are and I wish you all the best in your life.
From the oldest sibling to another.
