become more comfortable in my own skin

I’m part of a relativly big family. I’m number 4 out of 5 kids, and the youngest out of two girls. My sister is only 2 years older then me, and there is nobody in between us. She is skinnier than me, she’s had about a million boyfriends, and every guy likes her. She usually gets straight A’s, and she’s smart socially, too. Next year she’s going away to college, and for once in my life, I won’t be known as Marnie’s little sister. And while I hated, loathed even, being called Marnies’s little sister, it still kind of gave me a good feeling. I love my sister and we are great friends, and I’m going to miss her next year. But I don’t know if her leaving will make me feel better about myself because I won’t feel the need to compare myself to her as much, or if it will be worse because being known as her little sister always gave me a status. No introduction was need, I was Marnie’s little sister and everyone knew it. So how do I brake away from that and learn to just be me?

i’m not comfortable in my own skin. i’m not sure that i’ve ever been. i hide behind sweats and such! i love winter because it gives me an excuse to do just that! i want to break out of that and be comfortable in whatever!!!
