Just us Three | Day in the life RCD

 

Hello RCD readers,

The relationship with your siblings is the most important in your life. Especially your adult life. Our parents don't stay till the end and our friend's & partners meet us later in life.  But our siblings are from beginning till the end.

We know each other the best then anybody in life.  Is also the reason why we can hurt each other the most because our actions and words towards each other's means more than anybody  else.

God blessed me with a brother and a sister. Both older than me. But both I love till the end. They have taught me the real meaning of unconditional love. By the way we can be there for each other no matter what. We make mistakes because we are flawed. We say the wrong things. We do the wrong things. We hold resentment. We get disappointed. We get hurt.  But we forgive more ways then one.

As an adult learning how to navigate everyone's life choices. And how to keep a healthy relationship which each other. We fail a lot. Mostly because we have three different personalities but some similarities which bonds us. In a way that nobody else ever will. 

I'm the youngest which means I always feel like I have a lot to proof. But the older I get that this mentality is in all three of us.

The one who wants do it by the book.

My big brother and I have the weirdest bond. We spoil each other. I'm always here going above and beyond in ways I can support him. Because he is a good man. I'm proud of the man he has become and I want him to succeed always in life. He has always been a second father figure.  Which made our relationship hard sometimes.  Because the thin line between authority figure and just sibling is so weird. And crossed over so many times. But the magic solution is forgiveness and communication. As adults from my side he lets me express my frustrations each time. Which is the sweet line to make our also friendship work.

The one that doesn't see her glow

The biggest frustration I have with my sister would have to be her not seeing her worth, her beauty, her growth, her talent and not holding herself up to the morals & standards I do. Which sounds so stupid writing. And I've learned it. My responsibility is not for her to be that for herself. But just to be there where she is with herself without me losing my boundaries in between. I'm so proud of my big sis. We keep coming back to each others. I always wish she could see herself through our eyes and not the lense people around her put her in. And I always wished we had the relationship again that I have with my adult close friends. But that's the funny part sometimes the unconditional love is enough for now.

So as the year is moving quickly. I'm blessed to know and experience the unconditional love that many may not understand at all or experience. 

To the ones who know the beauty and complexity of sibling love.
