Queen of Fucking Everything?

I got a birthday card from my brother today, a week late, but what can one expect from someone so wrapped up in his own plastic life?

The front of the card says simply: Queen of Fucking Everything
Inside: Happy Fucking Birthday

Am I the queen of fucking everything? For once, I got the feeling that Steven may be a bit envious of me, FINALLY, what I had hoped and wished for a million times over as a child, and I don't want it. I don't feel like the Queen of anything. Unless there is a magical land somewhere that promotes women to Queen status by virtue of studying her ass off and coming home to a messy house and horrible children who deserve to be hauled off to be eaten by the witch who lives in a house made of candy. Only in that land would I feel deserving of the title of Queen of Fucking Everything. I am the queen of nothing.

And again, whether meaning to or not, Steven has made me feel without. Without something that he has, something that he has always had that I have not. I'm not saying that he has everything, he doesn't. I know that much. But I don't have it either. Leave it to him to point that out. Thanks for making it glaringly clear, brother dear.

There you have it, the Have's and the Have Not's. I grew up as a Have Not, sister to the Grand Master of Have. I thought I was beyond it, I thought I had matured enough to think that it didn't matter. I thought that finally, by comparison, I Had more than Steven.
Now I realize that it doesn't matter what I have compared to what he has, and some days, it just doesn't feel like I have much.

I am the Queen of Fucking Nothing.
Thanks, Steven.
It's really not fair to him that I hate him sometimes. Ok, no, I don't hate him, I hate what he does to me simply by existing. I hate the affect he has on me, I hate that he has any affect on me. I hate that I'm not strong enough to stop being his little sister, even now.

Well, now... My older bro got all the goodies except everything else.

You prolly got all the good stuff and left him with just the stuff...
