Seventeen years (and two days) ago, you came to this world and into my then-empty life. At first it was hard to comprehend the idea of being the older sister. Or even a sister. I was only four, in my defence!

After years of fighting over stickers and who gets to ride shotgun, I realized the responsibility and the huge blessing I was given. I mean we definitely still fight over who rides shotgun, but we're mature now, aren't we?
I can't thank you enough for having you by my side during all the turning points in my life. Even though you're the younger but you know you're the wiser one (sometimes, like some times). You're the one who gave me the final push to apply for college in France. And without you I would've regretted my stupid reckless decisions.
Do you remember those Barbie sticker booklets I loved more than anything? What about the Fulla walkie-talkies we had and used in the grocery store pretending to be spies? And when we skated while playing with mini cars just like that anime about miniature car racing. The summers spent in Kuwait mainly shopping and watching TV cause it's too damn hot. And the friends we made there.
Everyone who meets us asks "How are you even sisters?" and we give each other that look. I mean we can't blame them, we're too different, almost opposites. Speaking of looks, our level of communication through looks only is too damn advanced for this world. It only takes us few blinks and eyebrows gestures to communicate a whole story, it's insane!
No matter how much we text and video-call, I know that distance is still keeping me away from being by your side in your own turning points and it saddens me. I'm trying my best to be a part of your journey and I promise I'll always do. I know you can do it, I know that if you want something so much you'll work hard for it. I love you and believe in you. Till we meet again. Or call. Whatever.
