You are right. I had convinced myself I was the only child. I thought I was special.

I’m usually mostly right, and if this comment is any indication, you’re usually sorta wrong.

For example: If you are indeed his child, that means you are special. I can’t speak for your guy, but there are a lot of girls who want to be close to me, and if I decide one of them actually matters —if only a little— then that says a lot about her. It means she’s emerged from the crowd, kept her head up through multiple rejections, run my ever-changing obstacle course, and endured the Twelve Labors of Whorecules, all just to earn a shot with me.

She’s still a stupid cunt, obviously, but an unusually passionate and devoted one. How could I not value someone who’s proven herself so completely worthless?

So try to relax. Talk to him. Ask him if you matter. I’m guessing you do.

Also bear in mind that this just means you’re the baby, and the baby’s often the favorite.
