Today, I received a Facebook message from my sister. I was delighted. I read it over and over again, and every time with a big smile in my face. In the Facebook message, my sister briefly told me about what she's doing right now, all her successes, and how happy she is. Very few people are lucky enough to have such as strong talent, passion and determination to be 100% sure and decided on their vocation in life as my sister. I loved reading how my sister narrated all that is going on in her life, how she is participating in a high-ranked play called "Cyclops: A Satyr Play" and how all the tickets are SOLD OUT, how she is about to start working as a waitress in the reputable restaurant "Hillstone", and all while keeping up with her studies. Life is giving her amazing opportunities and wonderful things, and Alessa is definitely taking advantage of it, walking through the right path and taking huge steps of courage and bravery.
I would love to be able to magically time travel to the past and tell "my 2-years-ago self" how everything would just get better, and that all those tears were pointless. Before, I went to sleep full of nostalgia, watching Alessa's empty bed besides me. Now, I go to sleep happy and with the certainty that she is chasing her dreams. If flying so high required her to fly far away, then it's totally worth it.
My relationship with my sister has only flourished and thrived since she left. Now, we share with each other every little secret, gossip, and anecdote and fill each other with advise, our conversations via skype are more valuable than any other conversations we've had, and the few times a year we get to see each other, are the most estimated and valuable times we've shared together.
Ale, I'll never get tired of being so proud of you and admiring you so much.
