I’m jealous of my little sister. Not in a bratty “she gets everything she wants” or whatever. I am just finally able to see that she’s going to be the one that will have an actual relationship with our parents as time goes on and that she will make them more proud than I will ever be able to. They are extremely conservative and religious. They’re climate change deniers. They are proud of me and love me now, but either future career that I’m working towards will disgust and dishonor them. I’m pursuing a career as either an environmental lawyer or as a civil rights attorney that specializes in LGBT+ and women’s issues. I’m also queer and lately have been more interested in women than men. I have been vocal about my “libtard” beliefs and most what they do is argue or mock, but I truly think that once my life and work completely revolve around these issues that they will cut off contact from me. But my sister is a 14 year old Trump supporter who wants to go into the military. I feel like I can see the future of my family and I’m just not in it.
