I have been an only child my whole life. I mean ya sure, I have a half sister. But she has never lived with us. My dad was married before and had cassie. They divorced then 10 years later he married my mom and they had me. Cassie has always lived with her mom and step dad in ohio. Thats what people don't get, I'm an only child but I have a half-sister. It's really confusing.
When I was little I used to ask for a little brother or sister for christmas. I wanted someone to be able to look up to me and learn from my mistakes so she wouldn't have to make the same ones. I wanted someone who would ask me for help on doing make up and would let me play with thier hair. Someone who would cry with me and would cry on my shoulder when a boy broke our heart. Someone who would always be there for me, and I for her. Someone who would hold my hand when I will hopefully get a second piercing in my ears, and someone who will be able to ask me if I'm okay when I walk into a door, then laugh at me of course. Someone who will always be there for me, someone who understands me. Someone to have fun with and have inside jokes with. Someone who knows me better than I do. But after a lot of years I've realized that all of those characteristics and little things are a best friend. They are like your sister, some times you fight and don't talk to each other. But in your heart you know that even in bad times you are still there for each other and love each other like a sister. With those kinds of friends, some last forever, but some walk away from the friendship, but will always be close to your heart. Some might move away, but you'll still keep in touch. You never want to loose those kinds of people. Some times you'll meet people later in life and instantly become friends. You might even hate someone and judge them, but when you get to talking you realize that they aren't that bad and you have a ton in common.
I know that I got a little sappy, but I'm just so happy that I have amazing friends, because even though I never really had a little sister or an older one around, they became what I never had, we were just the same age. We make mistakes together, and really don't learn much off of them, but have a good time.
I guess that what I wanted to say was Thanks you guys (girls) are amazingly awesome people and I never want you to change.
I have an older sister who is actually one of my best friends. Best friends make up for older sisters when you don't have them and I totally get what you mean. I liked this post a LOT cause I write a lot about the stuff I miss or what I used to think about when I was younger:)
