getting perspective

I just want to share something with you all, something I was reminded of a couple of nights ago that really helped me put a new outlook on everything.

I really do think that I have the best friend I could possibly ask for - my sister. She is really such a beautiful soul, and I adore her, even her faults.She is never far from my thoughts, no matter how bad things seem for me I'm still concerned about her. When the world is caving in around me, I can think of my sister. She is a funny one! She laughs at the littlest things, but maybe thats one of the reasons I love her so much - her ability to laugh.

She's not afraid to cry either, we can cry together. She is away from me so often and for so long, and it always pains me when she calls me up at night in tears because she is homesick and misses everyone. I can't help but wish I could bring her back to stay with me for awhile. I miss her so much.

She happened to call me the other night, and she reminded me of something very important...that I'm her best friend too. So it doesn't matter that one person decides I'm not worth their time or care, because I have a friend who will never judge me in that way, ever. She will never go out of her way to hurt me, she will never decide that I'm not good enough to be a part of her life, she is someone that I'll always respect, and who will always treat me with respect as well. She is everything to me that a friend should be, and now that I know that in my mind, I have no reason to look back, no matter how pissed off another person can make me.

And I have been so pissed off lately, but my sister has a calming effect on me. Who needs sex, drugs and alcohol when you have a best friend like that?
