It Doesn't Rain, It Pours

Hey lovely people of the internet,
Today I wanted to talk about something that has been on my mind recently. I have found that in life, generally, nothing happens on its own. There are never events like passing a driving test or my sister having a baby that happen singularly. There is always another big thing happening at the same time and then we go months without much going on. Now, I am unsure as to whether this is due to having a large family or just the ages of us or what but for some reason it has happened for as long as I can remember. For example when my sister was having my nephew, my parents got in a car accident (both fine); my brother got in another separate car accident and wrote it off (he was also completely fine); I started a new job and my other sister's boyfriend got a new job. So yeah it was kinda a hectic 3 weeks! 



And this has never really bothered me too much. We all try to give everyone the same amount of care and attention and appreciate everyone's achievements and struggles. However, that is very difficult to do so some of us are not as good at it as others. I feel fairly confident that I am on the good end of this skill but when others aren't it can be difficult. 
When you have done something like, get exam results, pass something or get a new job it is such a huge deal in your life that when other people congratulate and go out of their way to celebrate it makes the achievement all the sweeter and can elevate your confidence. On the flip side of that, when people don't appreciate the effort you put into that thing or they talk about someone else's achievement over yours it feels... as if you are not important and hurts. 
Firstly, it is important to not judge your success by other's reactions but by your own thoughts and feelings, and try not to compare your reasons for celebrating as it is difficult to compare getting amazing Alevels and getting married or getting a promotion and moving house as they are wildly diverse events that happen at varying times in a persons life. 
Secondly, tell someone that you'd like an evening or meal just to celebrate your achievement. You might feel like you are being an attention seeker but you deserve to feel as though the effort you put in for that thing was appreciated. You deserve to feel appreciated and special. People who love you will completely understand that. 
Lastly, don't get jealous! I know this one is difficult. I am especially feeling it now as my sister is getting married and I'm still at home, hearing about it every day. But, your time will come. It might not feel like you will ever get that amount of attention but you do amazing things every day and you never know, that person getting married might be jealous of you. 

 Right I think that about sums it up, I know I kind of rambled on but I hope I made sense. 
Take care
