Two Sisters, Two Worlds, One Quiet Rivalry
Stephanie commanded attention without trying.
She walked into rooms like she owned them.
She asked bold questions that made adults uncomfortable.
She tackled life like medals were being handed out.

She knew how to make herself small and quiet.
How to disappear when she felt like too much.
At some point, treating them “equally” started to feel like it wasn’t actually equal.
