Imagine being a 12 year old girl and having to share your bedroom with your newborn baby sister and your Nan…. My sister has been certified legendary from that point on….
She has been such a massive part of my understanding of self, and kept me grounded when needed.
She is an incognito tough nut…. A warrior and the best and most honest confident. Being so real with me to help me remember that I’m not alone in irrational thoughts. Reading to me as a young child, guiding me into adulthood through the best school summer holidays in Brighton where singalong musical after parties were standard.
We laugh so much…. Our silliness is on point…. We are 2 squares that make a rectangle. We are entertainers.
I’m grateful for our age gap. She has no idea how much she inspires me and how I am in awe of how she parents her children…. Nobody put as much energy, love and time into playing with their children.
Recently my beautiful big sister has been telling me how much I impact her life and how she admires me. I have always felt like the f**k up child so these words floor me every time. Especially as she is again, powering through some s**t dealt life cards again…. Like I say, legendary .
When I grow up, I hope I’m as cool as her and I hope I face adversity with her level of strength and determination.
My sweet, smart, funny as f**k, creative, resilient big sister.
You got this….. and when you feel like you haven’t, remember the globule…. If that held on, you can too!
