Sissy,
The older we get, the more we are pulled in different directions. You are making your own life without me, and me without you. Milestones aren't being experienced together, and are instead retold through FaceTime. Our separate schedules are making us busier than ever, forcing us to catch up over text and Snapchat. And, all of the sudden, jamming out to music on the late night ice cream runs are rare. Seeing you face to face is now a carefully orchestrated trip, whereas it used to just be two steps down the hall to your room. As life constantly changes forcing our relationship into various phases, there are five truths I want you to remember will always remain the same.
1. You will always be my best friend
You were my first friend, you will be my last friend. You know the ugliest parts of me - the screaming matches with mom and dad, the emotional rollercoasters of crushes, the judgmental criticisms - and you still stick around (kinda because you have to). Please know: No friendship I will come to form in the days to come will ever compare to the friendship I have with you. You will never be replaced.
2. We won't stop laughing
The countless inside jokes we have prove that we are the only ones who think we are funny. Our humor is so unique and always will be. There's nothing quite like the bellyaches from giggling so hard at something we don't even remember was funny in the first place.
3. I will continue to compare myself to you
Sis, I think you are the coolest person in the world. I want to be you when I grow up. Ever since we were little I have always been envious of your effortless beauty, natural talents, and unshakeable confidence. I will continue to strive to be like you because in you I see the person I one day wish to be.
4. We will always share the same love for the music we were raised on
I know I can always count on you to go with me to that concert none of my other friends will go to. Our parents raised us with the taste of music we can now share. I know that whenever I listen to an oldie but a goodie you'll be doing the same, jamming out to the same tunes we grew up on.
5. Sister time will always be quality time
From exploring new places to binge watching "The Office" to having a photoshoot to eating our favorite kind of ice cream to jamming out to Taylor Swift, time with you is so treasured. I know that whatever we do, time together will never be wasted.
Love you forever, Seeeester.
