{ In Depth Prompts }
What in the world could this woman possibly have to be envious of anyone for? She is – generally speaking – on top of the world and manipulating her reality into something she feels is ideal. There is opposition of course, but she manages it well and is genuinely quite happy with much of what she has going on in her life – so that does beg the question of why she would envy anyone.
There is only one true gap in her life – and that is the one left behind by her brother’s absence in it. Cutler was the reason she never envied anyone – when she was once so melancholy and miserable, he was a source of light and joy. He loved her – and in so doing, was the one person she would do anything for. He fulfilled the role she most needed filled. Someone to love and care for, yes – but just as importantly, someone who loved her back.
Losing him destroyed her in so many ways. She vowed her way back to him – but things always got in the way. Which ultimately – leaves her envious of sisters whose brothers love them, of happy siblings. Including her own children, who love each other dearly, and love her dearly, spark that ugly sensation of coveting something she herself could not obtain.
It isn’t something she likes to think about. To be envious of ones own children is – hardly something to be proud of, after all.
