Please hear me out.

To My Younger Siblings Back Home

There's so much I can't begin to explain to you guys, especially since I'm not physically around anymore. Hopefully this clears up some things I've left unsaid.

I never wanted to leave you.

Believe me, I know what you're thinking. I up and left to go to school across the country and somehow you're supposed to believe that I never wanted to leave you. But a part of me just needed an adventure that wasn't so close to home. I needed to find myself in ways other than staying in one place and hoping for the best. Every single day that goes by, I wish you could be here with me. I promise, I'll be home for good one day.

Not a day goes by where I don't miss you.

I miss being yelled at for doing nothing, and I even miss getting woken up at 6am on a Saturday because those toys in the next room simply weren't going to play with themselves. No matter what day it is or what kind of conversation I'm having, you always make your way into the things I talk about. From talking about the latest I've heard about what you've said, to why I miss you so much, it's always touched upon.

I'm so proud of you.

Even though I'm now over 1000 miles away from you, I'm still your number one supporter and biggest fan. I still want to hear about all of your successes and failures, because I am your sister and I'm still by your side through every bit of it. I constantly find myself talking about something you've accomplished, whether it be big or small, and I know it's because I just wish I could be there to show you just how proud I am to be your sister.

You're the reason behind everything I do.

Some people want fame, success, money...whatever it may be. Personally, I just want to make you proud and show you that you can do anything you set your mind to. I want to be the reason you reach for the stars and never stop dreaming, because you've pushed me to do that for myself. At the end of the day, I know that I just want to make you proud and help you through whatever path you decide to take in life.

I love you.

1000 miles can't shake the love I have for you. In fact, I'm sure it's made our love stronger. I love you. I'll see you soon.


Love Always,

Your sister

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
