I have been meaning to write a post for ages now about a certain someone and a group of people....
This will probably be of no relevance to anyone reading this, except my sisters!
When I was about 11/12, I remember being in such a weird point in my life, where I was growing up in a white area and all m friends were going out etc and I couldn't do anything! I wasn't in touch with my roots in Bangladesh at all and was not close to anyone over there. I always felt like no-one understood me and that I was an outcast.So when I was around that age, we went to Bangladesh, first for my cousins wedding and then about a year later just for a holiday. Well, I can honestly say that that was the time when it all changed for me! It just took a month for me to become close to the people who are now, not only my sisters, but my best friends.
The person who changed my everything is probably reading this thinking I am being a drama queen about how much of an impact she has had on my life, but if it was not for her, I honestly would not know what to do.
I cannot even begin to describe how much I love her, whatever needs to be said about her she has heard this already from me, but what I can say is that we just 'fit'. We are so different, yet we have the most strongest bond ever, and the funniest thing is that she is half way across the world! It has been almost 10 years and things are still the same as ever, if not even stronger.
I literally trust her with my life, if I have anything on my mind I always have to tell her and that is the way it has always been and that is how it will remain InshAllah.
We all need people in our lives who we trust completely, and as cliche as it sounds, we need someone to catch us when we fall. My sisters love and accept me no matter what and I have never felt that from anyone else in my family apart from my parents and little sister! We are always there for each other when things go right or wrong, and the advice is there in abundance. I seriously would not know what kind of person I would be if I didn't have my sisters in my life.
And the funniest thing is, I don't even feel like we should ever use the word 'cousin' to describe eachother, I literally feel like their flesh and blood and that kind of love can never be replaced.
I never ever feel alone when I think of them, and I am truly blessed that my sister is a part of me and a part of who I am....
So my advice to my little sisters, is to never forget how important the bond of 'sisterhood' is. There is no such things as 'cousins' in our vocabulary! Always be there for one another and protect each other always....
