I'm on here real quick: today is my sister Nadia's 30th birthday and I love her. There's nothing much to it but that she's my best friend, my rock, my heart and she's everything I could want in a sister. She's always there for me. She cries when I cry. She laughs when I laugh and most often, just laughs at me, lol. She has this tremendous heart and I love her for it. You all know she's been through a lot and today she turns 30! I can't believe how fast time flies and the challenges we go through but she's amazing and yes, I'm choking up at writing this but I wouldn't be here without her.
Last summer still haunts me but we move forth because life isn't about living in the past and reliving those memories that hurt you and will never come again. Sure, prior to last year we had great memories but that's just it. That's what they are and you remember them and learn from them but you don't need them to define your future. You take the good and move on. You take those memories -- good and bad -- and build a life that you know you can make better by getting a second chance of sorts. Life isn't worth squat if you can't be tough and carry on and create new memories and new moments.
Today is over. Tomorrow is what we live. Enjoy and live life to the fullest.
Nadia and I celebrated today in a quiet low-key fashion. We drank mocktails but turned them into cocktails, lol and watched the Colts game and that was amazing because they won and she was happy and it was a
Sam and Dean a la Christmas moment for a while as I just watched her, relax and sit back.
She's a good sister.
And often, she still lets me sleep like this on her when we're on the couch in the basement or on the floor in our room, lol. Aw, I'm still a big kid. It's like what Desi (
circlesanthem) told me: "We are really, just overgrown toddlers".
Also...my favourite moment so far from the football games was between the Colts and the Broncos and this helmet malfunction, you could call it, lol. Oh those guys!
Love you all! <3
