Question: Free writing
I wonder if I'm the only persons who strive to outdo her twin brother. I am envious of my sibling brother and even dread performing below his expectation. Still, it is not clear whether jealous or expectations of my sibling brother guided my thinking. At times I would be caught between fighting to outdoing my brother and empathizing with him based on his expectations on me. Despite the desire to outdo my brother, I was saddened whenever my brother underperformed. How can the best be outdone? I would wonder. Being siblings came along with admirations and struggles to better your counterpart. The believed that if not careful I would disappoint my sibling brother for my performance would fall below expectations. This was a source of motivation because the best was sought after in any effort engaged. I might never know if I am the only sibling who is envious of their twin siblings. But one thing is for sure, I sought to attain the best in everything I did. However, now I wonder whether he views me under the same token. Am I in competition with him? Sometimes I hate myself for it (Eliot, 2014).
