... but you can make the best of it. And choose you.
Why do I like my sister?
Why do I sometimes not like my sister?
Sisters are a funny thing, in girl world (I can only talk from a girl perspective)
This is what I like. You know, she sends me cards. She sends me cards "I love you more than cats, well maybe not quite as much as much but I do love you lots"
She thinks of me on my birthday and on Valentine's day and at Christmas and when she knows that I might be struggling, and needing to hear that somebody loves me.
She sends me cards that when I read them I laugh (because the opening lines are funny) out loud and then read with a kind of understanding that only sisters have.
She is thinking of me and how to help me with 14/11 this year.
She is a kind sister.
On occasion she pisses me off, to fuck. Seen my wrath, fucking scary : )
On occasion I piss her of, to fuck. Seen her wrath, scared : )
Tend not to piss her off, if I can help it : {
She needs to feel appreciated, I need to accept her efforts to help me (big sister syndrome).
I need to not feel ignored, she needs to understand that small gestures are good enough, as long as they are consistent (middle child syndrome).
I'm a Wednesday child. 1. Wodens Day, or Odin - in Norse/Anglo Saxon mythology. That is Mars in Western astrology, and I wonder if it makes me combative, as well, after I have been pissed off. My sister is Friday child.
I like to celebrate Wednesdays, it's midweek...closer to the weekend. I like Friday's...chill TF out days, and Sundays re-the-fuck-charge days. Scuse, two glasses of wine later. Expect ample use of expletives. Wednesday = Music (and wine) night, at home. I like Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. The rest of it is for grafting.
My sister is weekender. she's a flat out week-er, the weekend is Saturday and Sunday, in her world.
She was cooperate, I wasn't. You know. A bohemian, like me...it's a different lifestyle. Like I said, we bring different things to the table. Agree to disagree. It's ok to feel free.
My sister and me. We both have learned to respect each others time, effort, lifestyles and the different things that we bring to the table. Vive la difference, really.
Pissing each other off?
That's just a clash of temperament (we are polar opposites on the zodiac wheel), and she's a bossy bitch....calling the kettle black, here. She is two and a half years my senior. Respect your elders, really. Like I said, bossy bitches us both.
Physically, we hardly resemble each other. When we are in conversation, you can notice that we are sisters. There is a kind of intimacy that sisters have. We share similar mannerisms and modes of expression.
We have very different approaches, in life. That's just fine. I am prone to emotionally wrecking. She is prone to emotionally ducking out. No, really she is a Moon Aries, and can be emotionally combative. I am a Moon Pisces, and can be an emotional shipwreck - from time to time. Hiding away for years until I am mended.
We get each other, on many levels, and on others we are just 'WTF?"
So, really, what I want to say is that we do not choose our family....but do we? Really, before we arrived? I think that we did because we have much to learn from our families. We have much to learn from our friends, frenemies and enemies.
1. Woden. The chief of the Anglo-Saxon gods was the All-Father, Woden. As with many of the male Anglo-Saxon gods Woden was often associated with war.
