Dear Firstborn,
We see you.
The way you swallow your tears so no one else drowns.
The way you laugh louder than your pain so no one suspects you are tired.
The way you work twice as hard because everyone’s future feels tied to your name.
You are the family’s secret backbone — the invisible provider, the emergency plan, the peacekeeper. Every call from home makes your heart skip — “What has happened now? Who needs me this time?”
But let this letter be your pause.
Breathe.
Your life was not given only to patch broken dreams. You are not just the savior of the family; you are a woman with your own story, your own battles, your own destiny. You don’t always have to be strong. You don’t always have to say “yes.”
The family may lean on you, but you are allowed to lean too.
You are allowed to rest.
You are allowed to be seen.
This is not the end of the story — this is your turning point. The day you decide that saving yourself is not selfish. It’s survival.
Because the truth is, the strongest firstborns do not just carry the family…
they teach the family to stand.
With love,
Someone who understands your fight
