Siblings

I learned something amazing today while writing my motivation profile paper for psychology. I learned that almost everything I am and everything that I have strove to be has stemmed from my siblings. They are my basis for almost all that I do. Since I was little I have wanted to impress them and be like them and hang out with them and laugh with them. As I grew into adolescence I learned that there were indeed some things that I did not want to do that they had done in their lives. Without their mistakes, I do not know where I would be because I am slightly head strong and I like to figure things out for myself. I do not like it when people tell me not to do things or not to try things, but my siblings choices have helped me to stay away from some potentially life-threatening things. Hopefully all these things are only to make us all stronger.

Right now in my life there is this level of acceptance that I exhibit. I have low tolerance for judgment. Although I cannot fully avoid placing judgment on people, I feel that because my siblings have had tough situations to live through, that I have greater understanding of others and that maybe, and probably, others have had something horrible happen to them to make them act or look or speak in a certain way.
The most important thing that my siblings have taught me is true, pure, unconditional love and kindness. I do not know anyone who I could rely on more than my siblings and my parents. They are people that I would spend all of my time with and never get tired of. They are my best friends.

Lucky me...I get to spend eternity with them:)
