When we were younger, my sister and I had a usual relationship. We would work great together and play and have a good time but once one of us got agitated at the other we couldn't stand the other. After awhile we would calm down and be friends again. As we grew older the arguments would occasionally turn into fights and that process of calming down wouldn't be until the next day or so. We weren't as close as we used to be and the arguments would happen a little more often as we continued to progress in school. If one of us got a little over stressed we unintentionally took it out on the other. Eventually we didn't talk about anything but school and how the other was doing, it was if we had been best friends that drifted apart and saw each other out of the blue. I missed how our friendship had been when we were younger, we shared stories and laughed and had more common interests. Now it just seemed the only thing we had in common was similar genetics. That was until one day I was sitting in the living room playing a game on my phone, and she came in and asked if I wanted to watch a show she had found on Netflix with her. I said sure, not knowing what the show was or how far into she was but just glad she wanted to do something with me.

From then on we started watching different shows together, shows that she or I had found we thought we would both enjoy. Occasionally one of us would get ahead of the other but we would always wait to talk to them about a plot twist after they had gotten to it. Our friendship after this was back to how it had been when we were younger and I loved the fact that I "had" my sister back. We started to do more things together and to share stories again and I truly felt like I had my sister back, and it was a great feeling. Now I have moved off to college and I still talk to her almost everyday. I sometimes annoy her with all the pictures of what I'm doing but we still have that closeness that came back after we bonded over a TV show. I fit hadn't have been for her asking if I wanted to watch that show with her I don't know if we would be as close as we are again. Either way I greatly appreciate her and all she has and will do to support me and I'm glad to call her my sister. Without her I wouldn't have done some of the things I have because she helps bring out the best in me, and the wildness that I worry about having. Thanks Nicole for being there for me.
