The Contented Seamstress

Her parents told Lea she had to go to
college to make something of herself,
like her sister, an honor roll student
was going to do.

But she wanted to be a Seamstress,
loved working with customers and
fixing and adjusting their clothes, had
a knack for it since she was a child.

Lea’s sister went to a prestigious college
aced her studies, graduated at the top
of her class, Maga Cum laude. Became
a chief executive for a large company
that owns her soul day and night. She
drinks too much and often feels like
she’s cracking under the pressure.

While Lea is happy in the profession
she was born to work in and doesn’t
drink and never feels like she’s under
the strain of overwhelming pressure.
Compared to her seemingly better
off sister, she has the better life.
