I have watched three generations and envy sisters who can be 4 am friends for each other at any stage in life.
I don’t have a sister, so I made a feeble attempt to connect with a cousin. I had to beat a quick retreat as our mindsets did not match. She would keep reiterating her good fortune, whenever a problem in someone else’s life was mentioned.
Her parents always told her she was the best. She is lucky enough to have a husband who keeps parroting her lines and saying “She has a point, for sure.”
I see shades of narcissism at times, but then concede that she is an emotionally secure person.
a secure childhood
goes a long way – minds cocooned
in loving comfort

Brilliant take, Reena.

I know someone like that too. At times they can be irritating but they are firm in their belief of being the chosen ones.
Thanks for joining in with this thought provoking poem.

Excellent take. A stable loving environment is probably the most important ingredient in the growing of a child.
