“How can I be reasonable? To me our love was everything and you were my whole life. It is not very pleasant to realize that to you it was only an episode.”
— W. Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil

It pleases me beyond words that my sisters have grown into the most beautiful, clever, and wickedly funny people I know. I sometimes wonder where it sprouted from..since often to me, they are my little baby sisters and it shocks me to see them grown. To have the realization that their beauty and cleverness sprouted from the same world as my own makes me infinitely sad and proud. The same demons that chase me often chase them. But they are also armed with the same arsenal of laughter as I. We are fighters, and we crack jokes as we fight.
