sis sis sis sis wonderful sis

My sister is right when she says that I'm doing all those things now that I used to frown upon earlier when she was doing them.

In my defense, people grow and people change. The change becomes easier when one is far away in an unfamiliar environment. Before I came here, I did want to learn how to dance, be it any kind. But the inertia of the static environment around me made it next to impossible.

In the bigger picture, there have been many stages of my relationship with my sister.
When I was 4, I wanted everything she had in her hand.
When I was 10, I wanted to do everything she did.
When I was 16, I found all her interests to be boring.
Until she pointed it out, I didn't realize that this too was another phase in our relationship.

Now that I have the comforts of having a new start in a new place, I happen to be doing things she would love to do. That is because when she was doing similar things a few years back, I did understand their importance, but was just not grown up enough to appreciate and accept them. Yet her choices influenced me at that point, and that influence is now materializing.

So, my dear sister, never forget that you have been my only companion for the most part of my life - and thus, you are more a part of me than anyone else.

And you were afraid that I will forget you when I leave!!!
