The world around her: my twin flame

Me+and+Bre+at+our+sisters+wedding.
Me and Bre at our sister’s wedding.

I think we have been sisters in every lifetime. 

My best friend, my twin flame, my soul tie, my beautiful sister: these are only some of the words that I can use to describe Bre. 

Everyone has that one person that they are connected to the most. That one person who they can go to for any moment in their life, major or minor, and feel like they are understood. Mine just so happens to be my sister.

Though she lives 1,785 miles away, Bre is always there to lend a helping, or healing, hand at every perfect convenience. I have never doubted her power to understand me just by reading the expression on my face; it is a wonder that she still has enough to give after all she has given to me.

I wouldn’t have the ability to empathize with others if it wasn’t for Bre. She showed me what it means to care for another person, despite the conditions they might be in. She is such a beautiful person, inside and out.

I have found that the distance between us has allowed for room to fully connect, I wait in anticipation for the two or three times she visits a year. The very few amount of times we see each other allow us to cherish the moments we have together; it allows us to experience each other more memorably. 

My best friend, my twin flame, my soul tie, my beautiful sister: these are only some of the words that I can use to describe Bre.

Bre has never made me feel like I don’t have someone in my corner every step of the way, even if she is far. She has made it so clear that she is only a phone call away, which means the world, especially in the times when a girl just needs her sister.

Although we are complete opposites, Bre and I are the same person. She showed me when I was young that everybody is different, and taught me to react as such. In times when I did not understand certain situations, she showed me the reality of things and talked me through every problem, a skill not many can say they have.

I look up to her in every way I can. She can take everything that is thrown at her with such grace and strength, something else that I wish I could learn from her. Bre is so smart in ways that many are not; I know I can go to her for any question that I may have and she would know exactly what to do.

Not everyone can say that they have known their person their whole life, but I can. My sister is everything I want to be and more, and I count down the days until she will be with me for good.
