What did you settle for?

Have you a composed as much as your brother though? See. I have accomplished more than my sister.

An example of something she has done recently is back in march my husband and I became common law and he popped the question. Our wedding is set for October 20 2018.

My sister just last month announced her engagement to her boyfriend of 8 months. He is 21 years old and the day she was engaged my mom asked "which day were you thinking?" She immediately said "September 22 2018!!!"

I went from being so incredibly happy for her to feeling like garbage. I know most of our family members prefer her. She's model gorgeous (while I'm average Jane) and our entire lives she's been the "pretty and outgoing" one while I've been told I'm "smart and sturdy" as an afterthought.

I ask for a family puppy at 12? Nope. She asks for a puppy a month later? Of course! You get to choose the breed. She got a pug. She refuses to let me play with it because "It's her dog".

I'm told I can't get contacts until I'm 16 and they can't be coloured? A month after I get them, she wants contacts at 13 and oh yah, she wants her eyes to be bright green too. She gets it.

I'm told I can't get a cellphone until I can buy my own and afford it? I get a flip phone pre pay when I'm 15 from working my ass off at my job. She tells my parents that's not fair and demands one at 13.

I'm told "they can only contribute 3000 to my college education" no problem parents. I've got most of it from working for the past 4 years. She gets her entire college experience bankrolled.

I was told I can never move back home once I move out. No real problem. My darling and I just bought a house and renovated it. She's on round two back home with her fiance.

Just recently, I've moved into a part time position while my darling is deployed and my mother is VERY disappointed in me. My sister gets a 2 hour a day, 4 days a week job after being unemployed for 3 months and my mother is BEAMING with pride and telling everyone the "good news". Oh, my dad had to get her fiancé a job with him too.

This has happened our entire lives and I feel like I'm going to fucking snap. Like I get it. I'm not the special one. I'm the socially awkward one that got fat and got into gaming and anime which my mother never forgets to remind me of until she needs me to "fix the internet" and then I'm the smartest little nut.

Oh god this has been therapeutic.... I'm sorry for ranting at you
