I always felt like I couldn't relate to people with siblings. I could not relate to the bond siblings seemed to have, or the need to protect a sibling. It ade me feel very left out from my friends who had siblings. The strange thing about this is that I do have a sibling, an older sister, a sister that I feel absolutly no connection with. We are only 4 years apart, but it seems like she has been out of the house for a long time, even though she still lives in the same house with me.
When we were younger we spent a lot more time together, but most the time we spent together, that I can remember, involves her friends. She would always bring her friends over and they would only spend time with me as a source of entertainment. If they got to bored they would call upon me knowing that they would be able to get me to humiliate myself in one way or another if they were creative enough about it. As a child my sister also liked to exercise her apparent power over me, she liked to make me fear her. Although I was a bit intimidated by her I was never scared of her. She wouldn't let me in her room, unless she invited me there first.
Now that we are both older we are actually quite distant. We talk, but its mostly if one wants to ask the other a question. We aren't realy mean to one another. We are not close at all. I know very little about what goes on in my sisters life and I have very little intrest.Its this that makes me very curious about what our futures hold. When we are both living in our own houses and perhaps have children how much will we talk? Will her kids talk to me a lot? Will I go to their Birthday parties? Or will we only talk to one another when we need help with somthing, or at family reunions? This is perhaps the aspect of my future that I am most curious about.
