November

November is one of the months that i least like, not because of the cold no- in fact i love the cold but because I'm losing a bit of someone each year it seems. November 27, 2004 my sister was born. Its probably selfish to hate her birthday but i have a reason to back it up. My sister is 4 years older than me. Which means shes turning 18 this year. Ever since i was born i've watched my sister turn into what she is now and i'm in utter despair. She is so very beautiful and very kind (when she wants to be) but i can't help but cry because each year she's growing away from me. she's distancing herself, finding herself, becoming her own person. I am happy for her but i'm also very very very sad. Every time November comes around i really can't help my gloomy tune. It feels as if a piece of me dies when she grows older, i cherish her presents so very much and I don't want her to go, i don't want her to get her own house, move out, get married- so and so. Now thisย  is starting to sound selfish. Of course ill be happy for her i'm her sister but its the little piece of me that's so sad to the point where i cry even at the thought of her leaving.ย 

And i know she'd never say these words about me.
My sister isn't very fond of me.
I know this because i put on a filter when shes around.
She's like a ticking time-bomb, saying one wrong thing and i'm yelled at.
The tiniest things tick her off.
The time i spend with her might not be pleasant but i still want to cherish it, no matter what i say i do love my sister, i love every second i spend with her. But every time i tell her how i feel, she shuts me down.
This won't stop me from caring about her though, i really, really care about her.
heck even writing this felt cringey.

When we try to show younger siblings our love, they push us away by saying things like, "You are so annoying," "go away!" and "Yeah that's why you don't have friends!" and yeah that hurts the most out of all. As an older sister, we have all experienced a huge amount of pressure since we were young till now and we never get really attention because the youngest continues to receive the most attention. These are the reasons, and certainly, your older sister needs a hug the most right now. I know she spends most of her time alone, doing other things, and ignoring the family. Give her a hug, please.

Awww I can feel your heart in this, virtual hugs

Please keep in mind your sister is also a very hormonal teenager so getting ticked off easy is normal

I think you should tell her how you feel, I honestly believe she'd like to hear it. If it's too hard to say out loud you could write a letter, and she could have your love written on paper forever. Writing a letter would also let you edit your words until they're just right.

Good luck โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š
