Being the youngest

I'm writing this despite knowning that no one will see this. My heart is heavy, atm. I need to channel this negativity out so I can have a peaceful meal with my family despite the feelings brewing inside me.

Being the youngest of two, I've always felt a sense of alienation. Not so much from my dad, but my mom. Not sure if it happens naturally without her noticing—which I want to believe is the truth— or otherwise. 

There are many occasions I feel that sense of biasness from my mom twoards my sister. More often than not, I try to let it glide over my shoulder, because of obvious reasons. It doesn't make sense that she'd do it purposely. However, despite knowing all that, being a human with feelings and all that, I, too, started to notice all the little things. Every tiny little detail like how she'd call me whenever there's a chore to do, how she'd let her sleep in a little longer, how she'd reprimand me instead whenever the both of us would fight, or how she'd give me a lecture about borrowing my sister's stuff wheb though my sister does the same—mind you, she never gets told off.

I try to make myself believe that I'm being rather nasty for havibg thoughts like these; that I have no right to even warrant these ading thoughts towards my mother that swell within me.

 

I dunno.

Maybe I AM MAD.

God knows what's happnening to my head.

Honestly, my mom tries not to bias, but if you really want to win someone over, the best way to start is to control yourself hen they say anything annoying.
Second, start off strong. You need to plant little seeds of happiness and/or positivity.
Compliment her on anything small. Don't go overboard; nothing too drastic or dramatic.
Next, try to have a good conversation wish her, and stay on topics she likes, or anything she might be interested in. Learn a few facts here and there. Surprise her. Do something nice.
Overtime, the subconscious and conscious mind should be swayed towards you.
Not guaranteed to work, but I think it might be worth a try.
Most (sane) people would say to just sit her down and talk to her. I'd suggest this approach. I feel so deceptive right now..
Good luck!
