SGC Diaries

 So, here’s the thing people always ask me what it’s like being the only child. Some say it’s the dream: all the attention, all the gifts, all the love. Like, who wouldn’t want that, right? But then there’s the flip side people talk about how only kids can be spoiled, don’t know how to share, or lack that “sibling sacrifice” vibe. Honestly, it's not as simple as they make it sound.

Yeah, I get the perks. I’m the main character in my parents’ world, always getting their full attention. And gifts? You bet! But it’s not just about the stuff. It’s about feeling loved and cared for in a way that’s hard to put into words. And trust me, I’ve never felt bored or lonely. I’ve had all the space to figure myself out, and I can’t complain about that.

But here’s the twist: being an only child doesn’t mean I’m missing out on sacrifice or sharing. My parents are not just my mom and dad, they’re my best friends, my siblings, and my constant source of support. They’ve given up so much to make sure I have the best in life whether that’s giving up their time, energy, or even their own personal goals. They’ve been there for me, through it all, without expecting anything in return.

I might not have siblings to share my things with, but I’ve shared my life with my parents, and that’s been enough. I’ve seen firsthand what real sacrifice looks like. It’s not just about passing down things, it’s in the quiet, everyday moments where they put their dreams on hold to make sure I’m okay. They taught me about sacrifice, love, and responsibility in ways that go beyond words.

And here’s where society needs to wake up: it’s time to change the mindset about single girl children. We’re often seen as the ones who’ll "leave" once we grow up, like we’re somehow less connected to our roots. But it’s not about how many siblings you have it’s about the values you hold and the bonds you nurture. Society needs to stop assuming that the absence of siblings means we lack the ability to care, sacrifice, or be responsible. It’s time for a shift in perspective. Single girls, just like anyone else, can be strong, independent, and deeply committed to their families.

So yeah, while some might say being an only child means missing out, for me, it’s been nothing but pure love and growth. The whole "spoiled" stereotype? Doesn’t apply here. I’ve learned about sacrifice, love, and giving in ways that are just as real.

And as for my parents? They’re my world. They’ve been my everything the ones who’ve sacrificed, supported, and loved me unconditionally. They’ve taught me what it means to give without expecting, to love with no conditions, and to value what really matters. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about the gifts or attention it’s about the sacrifices, the love, and the bond that’s stronger than anything. And I wouldn’t change that for the world.
