Dory, I'm not sure what subtle or unsubtle messages your parents gave you. But my thought is that nothing another person does can diminish or enhance who you are. What you do is what you do. And what your sister does is what your sister does. I think the best way to respect your sister is to fill your own potential. I think I'd feel worse about myself to know that someone thought I couldn't tolerate their achievement than I would if they achieved.
If it's something you wish to pursue, you should pursue it. I'm sure you do write now anyway. Journals, babble posts. If you want to expand your scope, I say go for it.
Or at least that's my take on it.
