What is your best lesson from your worst experience?

Friday, September 02, 2011
Ok so I told you I would get back to you today :) Sorry it took so long!
My best lesson from my worst experience would have to be what I learned from my older sister's drug addiction.You see my sister and I have never been close. I really wouldn't even say we are family except for genetics. We barely talk and I let her in on very little of my life. She had been in rehab and they asked her to speak about someone inspiring and she chose me. She spoke of how she is really proud of me for not needing anything but myself to be happy and about not giving into something I didn't want to do. She talked about how she really did love me and that she was jealous of how my life had been and that I hadn't let her have a part in it. I guess I was just surprised to discover I had meant so much to her.
It really opened my eyes. People never really know how much they mean to you. You have to tell the ones who mean something to your life. Don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself, because if they are special enough to have you care about them, then it is worth it to let them know. No person has ever been offended by being loved. So spread as much love as you can and don't be afraid to show it.

I'd like to say that my sister and I became close after this. That somehow we put the 20 years of everything behind us and could really start having a true sisterly bond. But unfortunately, time waits for no one.

It is wise to remember that.
