Navigating Adulthood as the Unpaid Firstborn Daughter!

“Is this the person behind the blog?”

Hi. I’m Vuyiswa, just a girlie trying to navigate adulthood without crying in public (too often). If you’ve ever stared at your life like, “Am I doing this right?” then you’re in the right place.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be the firstborn daughter, the default fixer, the emotional anchor, the responsible one even when no one says it out loud. So I wrote about it.

My recent post “Being the firstborn daughter is a full-time job (and it’s unpaid)” is an honest look at carrying roles we never chose but learned to perform anyway.
