Why eldest daughters deserve appreciation and support

Eldest daughters want love. But more than that, they want to be seen.

Life gets so busy and activities move fast; it can be overwhelming without the occasional reflection to pause and breathe: to inhale clean air and exhale the stress of performance of duty and responsibility.

Eldest daughters make sacrifices, but no one stores this for acknowledgement and reminders. The ability to keep showing up to life, giving from a cup that's sometimes half-empty and staying silent through the struggles — that's the strength an eldest daughter brings to the table.

Eldest daughters do not negotiate with failure; they cannot afford to. When life strikes, they don't spend too much time licking their wounds, they restrategise, re-align, and move forward with clarity and fresh goals.

Time is money and they must spend it wisely.
