Supporting Character Syndrome

I constantly write about what the world looks like through my eyes. So people might be surprised to learn that I’ve never felt like the main character of my life. I am Matt’s wife, I am Tom’s & Tina’s daughter, I am Riley’s sister. I am tangential, not the main character, but close by, a supporting character. Maybe it’s classic middle child syndrome, I was the second baby in the house, the fourth in total. I think it’s specifically because of my first memory. My first memory is from when I was 3 years old and, though it’s my very first memory, and core to who I am today, I don’t feel 100% comfortable telling it because I feel like it’s not my story. How do I tell my story when the foundation belongs to someone else? But I remember it like it was yesterday, if I was 3 years old yesterday.
