to the sister i had once upon a time - we've had our fair share of ups and downs but somehow, we always worked through it. i taught myself to give in and apologize first because you were downright the most stubborn person i knew. but i loved you and i loved that you knew everything about me. you always knew what i was thinking and how i'd react to certain things. you knew how to make me laugh and what pushed my buttons. you were the older sister i never had and you watched out for me in almost every way possible. how quickly we went from strangers to best friends to sisters. i remember our phone conversations and constant texts about nothing and everything. those never ended despite my going off to college. you were the reason why i began to believe in horoscopes and was able to analyze every person who came across my life.
the abrupt end that we came to wasn't what i wanted. to be honest, i'm not even completely sure why it happened. during the last year, i tried countless times to rekindle our friendship - sisterhood - and failed. it didn't make sense to me because i sincerely thought our bond would withstand distance and time. but somehow, you weren't able to forgive me this time around. i don't even know why you walked out of my life. sometimes, i just want to call you up and ask you what was it i did that completely ticked you off. but it's probably too late now.
now, the only news i get about you is from your infrequent facebook posts and instagram updates. i found out today that you're going to hong kong for the next two years. why wasn't i notified when you got a job offer in hong kong? why did you not tell me that you were going to spend the next two years of your life in my favorite country? why?
despite everything, i love you and i always will. good luck.
