Feels good to be back after what feels like a lifetime.I was wondering what I am gonna post about. I can as well continue with my short story. I have been waiting to continue. But as you can very well see, something else took precedence. The title is self explanatory. :)
I wonder when will you ever grow? Do you even realize you are elder to her ? Shouted my mom out of frustration. Yes it was us fighting again over something very trivial. It always is.
Why should I when she is the one at fault? Can't I even defend myself and make my stand clear? I yell back at my mom.
God knows how many times this has happened over the past 18 years. Believe me, it is not that easy to be an elder when you have a younger sister. I believe its easier to tackle a younger brother. At least that is what I hear.
So it is said that being the eldest, there are certain norms to be followed.
1) Is it a fight? Give up, because you are the elder one.
2) Is is something that you both like? C'mon let her have it, because you know you are the elder one.
3) Does she wanna play with you and your friends? C'mon take her in, as you know you are the elder one. (This used to happen when we were kids :D)
This is an endless list. Is this what I have to listen to just because I am 3 years elder to her. Seriously 3. Is that even a number that counts? I keep quizzing. Maybe I can do that if at all she behaves like a younger one. Listening to what her elder sister has to say and abiding by it. But hell no. She never will.
Be it anything, a lame advice or even a suggestion, she says "keep it to yourself"
Huh! Why should I even sacrifice when I don't receive an iota of respect, I keep asking my mom. She says " Someday, you will understand that you can never have a friend as close as your sister. " Today as I pen this down, I realize how true that is. Its not about not fighting. Its about fighting like we hate each other the most and still talk like nothing happened the very next minute.Fighting or arguing doesn't strain the relationship. Not talking about the problem to the concerned person and go ranting about it to a 3rd person does. We are humans. Each one is unique in his or her own way. So it is obvious that the thought process will never be the same between 2 persons no matter how close they are. I do not go complaining about my sister. Rather I pick up a fight, we argue and eventually resolve it. So the more we fight, the more closer the fight brings us. She is definitely close in the aspect that we do not hold grudge on each other.
I know I have said things I never meant to and I know I have hurt you. I am truly sorry about that. No matter how old we grow, I will still keep fighting with you. I am not gonna say that I have written this one . So if at all you come across this, don't be lazy as always and do comment. When your sister has spent sometime to write this down, you can spend few minutes to acknowledge her words . Lets see how long it takes for you to reply :D
Dedicated to all such elder sisters out there ! :)
