LJ Idol, Topic 20: "Open Topic"

Mar 26, 2012 16:58

One of my favourite goals to pursue is the idea of living my life with no regrets. I am quite enamored of the notion that I could own every decision I make, as well as the consequences, and still say that I would not change it. It's a lofty, almost laughably difficult aspiration, to be sure, and a razor-thin line to walk, but I've followed it ( Read more... )

I'm glad you're being the sister you want to be now :)

So am I! I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have the chance to make it right. Thank you for reading!

There is always a chance we can gain back what we have eroded. Thankfully you have.

Fully agreed :) Thank you very much for reading.

It totally, totally isn't too late. My little brother died when I was 23. We never over the bickering and horribleness of our teenage years. Go on being a good sister.

I definitely will. I'm very sorry to hear that. :( *hugs if wanted?*

Sweet that you want now what you didn't have, and, it's never too late. I wish my older sister, also 7 years my senior, went through this same change of heart. But, hers was the absentee father, mine was the alcoholic abuser, and he abused her most... she never forgave me for bringing him into her life. She was certain that my Mother would have left him if not for me, but, instead, she left us all. They have both passed on now, leaving only the children, and she still denies the rest of us are family. I hope she at some point feels this regret you wish she didn't, if only enough to want to love me again.

:( I am so sorry to hear this... My sister made a point of telling me over and over again through my teenage years how every other girl she met was a better and more real sister to her than I could ever be. It was one of the most painful things I ever had to hear. I'm just grateful to have the chance to finally be the sister she was challenging me to be... I really, really hope your own sister encounters a change of heart too. *hugs tight, if you want hugs*
