Yesterday was one of those days where things unexpectedly happened. My sister who I literally haven't had contact with in over a year dropped by .I must say, it was awkward. I mean, what is there to converse about without broaching the subject of faults and mistakes that were committed throughout the years. Yes, no one is perfect, but when it causes your family to completely neglect you and turn their head to the other side when you walk by, it's obvious you perpetrated something preposterous. I know the only one to judge is God, and that's the reason of my whole reflection on this situation. The truth of the matter is no matter how many faults she continues to commit, no matter how mad she gets me, and no matter how much grief she brings upon my family, at the end of the day we're still going to have the same blood running through our veins. She's my sister; it's that simple. Not everyone agrees with my decision on maintaining a relationship with her, but it's something I know I need to do. If I continue holding these "grudges", I'm never going to live a life full of happiness and if there's no happiness in life, then what's the point of it? I've been called a hypocrite for shunning her then going back and making mends with her. I'm not trying to be her friend nor am I having hard feelings against her, it's mutual. I acknowledge her as my sister and I refuse to blind myself with animosity. I'm ridding myself of pessimistic feelings and this shall be the first step that I'm taking in doing so.
