A sister

April 19, 2016 8:00am CST
I wish I had a sister. An intricate connotation of antonymic virtues. My exact reflection and my exact contradiction. Sprinkled excessively with compassion and understanding, animosity and impatience. My light in the dark, and the salt on my wounds. My unwavering companion and my inconsistent acquaintance. A motherly imitation, and the devil's duplication. My sincerest counselor, and my dishonest liar. Everything I wish I was, and everything I wish I wasn't. I wish I had a sister.

This is just my impression of what having one must be like. Deduced from the recollections of friends who are blessed with them.

@pandeyanimesh It is near to what you write. I was very close with mine when I was younger, but life made us drift apart.

This is a beautiful writing. I am sorry that you do not have a sister. Do you believe that it is too late now?

@pandeyanimesh I understand. I have a brother, a little younger than I am. We have always been very close.

It's not really about having a sister, it's more about my perception of what a relationship with a sister is.

A beautiful piece of writing Animesh. Is it too late for you to get a sister?

@pandeyanimesh I think the real thing may be a little different. Fights and arguments are normal amongst siblings, especially when you are little.

This is about my perception of what a relationship with a sister is, a fantastical assumption. Was it good?

I have a sister and we were never friends until we grew up. Now we are best friends. I loved your writing.

Thank you so much. I live to express. I don't have a sister, I've just tried to imagine what it's like.
