I've realized I need to stop comparing myself to my sister in terms of how put together our lives are. like, she graduated from college last month and got a job right out of school... at the company our dad has been working at for the last ~15 years. and now she and her boyfriend are buying a house together... and it's our childhood home that our dad is selling because he's moving into a farmhouse he renovated with his new wife.

#come on dad. make it just a little less obvious that I'm not the favorite child #maybe i. too. would have been going places in life if I had been shown even an ounce of support when it came to my dreams and creativity #i'm allowing myself to be just a little bit bitter right now #like. even just how my dad handled our graduations this year #my sister got an 'i'm proud of you' facebook post and was taken out to lunch #and I got my dad bitching at me for several hours each day while he helped me move out of my apartment #I definitely feel like when it comes to me his parenting is more obligation than care #should I expect more from a vaguely bigoted midwestern dad that used to remind me how lucky I was #that he didn't beat me like his dad would have? probably not. but as they say. disappointed but not surprised #alisha babbles
