I've decided to make this thing more structured. I was praying last night about all that's been going on in my life and starting listening to some old music. Long story made really short, I decided to start making this thing where I do certain things certain days. Well, Wednesday is more or less my slow day in the week and I thought why not take today and start doing something that will show everyone more about me? I then thought, "Why not talk about those important to me?" So starting this Wednesday I will pick one person important to me in my life and talk about why they are so vital to me
First victim...I mean, subject...is my sister Katie. Now, I know she probably won't see this but I decided to post this anyways. My sister may be the thing that pushes my buttons the most out of anything that there is in this world. Some days I want to just lay into her and tell her everything negative that I am feeling. But, at the end of the day, she is by far the best friend that I could ask for. People go far in my book if they listen to me and are able to help give sound advice to me from what they hear. My sister is really good at listening to my fears, problems, joys, pains, and everything in between. I mean, it may be that she has been stuck with me for 17+ years and doesn't have anyone else to talk to, but it's a good feeling to know I can go to her about anything
The other thing that I love about my sister is her sense of humor and her control of it. She knows when to just randomly bust into my room and say hilarious things that just make me laugh hysterically to no end. But other nights she knows when to just come up to me and let me know she's there. This is by far the most amazing thing that she does for me. I'm not really one to let my feelings show all the way to a lot of people, but with her I'm able to just let it out and be who I am.
So, all in all, I love my little sister so much for all she is to me. I know she has a gift with music and will be able to show the world just how much of a fire she has for music when she goes to college. I'll miss her when she goes off even if it's to USC like I will be. But, I know she'll be able to make her own way and be able to take what comes her way with stride and an amazing smile. Here's to the little "Gooba", the one who has been there for me all my life and will be there for the rest of my days.

aww matt. i totally agree. that's about how i feel about my sisters. i don't know where id be without them!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam! Now to just figure out who's next
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you guys have a really cool relationship. One thing that I now regret is that my sisters and I aren't as close as we could be. We're definitely the butting heads type, especially Kristen and I (as if you didn't know this already!). I'm glad you know how precious your sister is, I hope you really enjoy the time you two have together before you both get all grown up with jobs and families of your own.
ReplyDeleteI think that every sibling cares more than they let on sometimes. But you and Kristen do tend to butt-heads a lot but it still looks like a good relationship with yall. But I am trying to spend as much time with her before we all go off to college. Besides, once we get out I know I'll still bug her, even when she gets her own family lol
