Seems to be a recurring theme with you... You try your hardest, you say you do every time, but you still don't amount to what they want. Your own mother said she would save you last if her children were all in danger... Don't look at me like that, you remember those words. "Why can't you be like your brother?" He has all the success your parents wanted to see. And your friends, too. Aren't they just so happy with married life? All on their own and starting families? Doesn't that just burn you, how much they please your parents?

Beatriz, drazi-based fire demon. Source of my bitterness and ambition, and somehow drove me to develop a vast cornucopia of average skills. Many a time have I been forced into someone's shadow, especially in my learning years. I grew up knowing that I was found wanting, and no matter what I tried, I could never amount to something worthwhile... So I tried to learn everything, and perfected nothing.
