Dear Mom
Please stop trying to make me apologize to Crystal, because I've done nothing wrong. I simply want her to finally take charge of her own happiness, and stop trying to drag me down like a heavy doom cloud. I want her to have more friends, so that it doesn't devastate her that she's not my only friend. It's not my job to replace you. It's not my job to nurture my full grown sister. It's not my job to be her best friend, because it's hard to be best friends with someone who competes with you, despite all your best efforts to neutralize those feelings by trying not to excel, or to only excel quietly. She is not my child, or my job. I just want a sister, that can take care of herself and develop her own opinions. A sister that doesn't look at me as the center of her whole world. A sister that lets ME depend on HER for some of MY opinions. A sister that lets me be THE LITTLE SISTER.
So just stop.
Thank you.
So just stop.
Thank you.
