when i was 12, i named my journal "staranne"

Monday, Dec. 30, 1996

"My sister is literally a dirtball. She drives me up the wall! She treats me and her friends like I don't know. She is always acting like I am so stupid; I don't know what she is really thinking. Sometimes, I wanna slap her!

G.G.
'Star'
a/k/a: Misty"

Wow, what cute perspective this brought me today! Last week, I found an old journal in my memory box. This entry made me laugh, of course and I shared it with both my sister and husband. How silly, I thought.

Today while cleaning off my dresser, I found it again and realized how so much can change in 24 hours, one year, or even 14 years! I love my sister more than life and something really petty and insignificant (the fact that I cannot remember what she did to me is proof of that) caused me to write little hateful, juvenile words about her. At the time, I felt like slapping her. 14 years later, we are great friends and share a relationship most sisters aren't blessed to have.

I will be annoyed with and frustrated by a lot of people over the course of my life. This helps in reminding me to let it go and forgive... because I certainly won't remember it 14 years from now.
