There was a point in time in high school when I did not want to be a part of my family. I very much resented the fact that I was part of it. I lashed out at my sisters, and spoke very little to anyone. And then my mother told me something I won’t ever forget, because at the time I hated it so much:
“You won’t always have the same friends. Your sisters are the only people who will be there for you no matter what, will be there when you are so lonely and you have no one else. Whether you like it or not, your sisters are your best friends for the rest of your life.”
I didn’t believe that until I graduated high school, and even then I didn’t fully grasp that. It’s only been since Nicole has moved close to me that I’ve discovered how comforting it is to have her close, because she knows everything I’ve been through. When I need to talk about Zoie, Nicole’s there, ready to talk because we’re living it together. No matter what, we have a history we know embarassing things about each other, we love each other. My biggest regret in life is that Chloe isn’t closer to Nicole’s age so we can all be around each other going through this.
With all that said, I know who you are. We grew up together, we experienced life together. I may not know as well as Chloe, but I do know that this is not who you are. You might think it is, but it isn’t. I just don’t understand why you think this is who you are.
You can run from yourself forever but when you decide you’re exhausted and tired, home is going to be the only place full of people who remember who you were. We’ll be here. Waiting.
