It's not easy being the kid stuck in the shadows. The one who always seems to be overlooked, ignored, and forgotten. The one who never gets picked first, who never gets recognized for their achievements, who never seems to fit in.
It's like walking through life with an invisible cloak draped over you. You're there, but no one really sees you. You're screaming on the inside, but no one hears you. You're struggling to find your place in the world, but no one seems to care.
It's a lonely existence, being the kid stuck in the shadows. You watch as others around you bask in the spotlight, soaking up the attention and the admiration. You wonder what it would be like to be them, to feel so confident, so sure of yourself, so loved.
But then you realize that you don't have to be like them. You don't have to be the loudest, the most popular, the most talented. You can be yourself, and that's enough. You have your own unique talents, your own special qualities, your own way of shining.
It might take a little longer to find your place in the world, to figure out where you belong, to discover your own light. But it's there, inside of you, waiting to be uncovered. And when you do, you'll realize that being the kid stuck in the shadows was just a temporary state. You were always meant to shine, and now you finally can.
