be a better sister

well Bailey (my sister) was a bit elusive this week so i’ve only done one thing to work towards becoming a better sister, we made lunch plans for next Friday before she goes out of town.

well here’s the thing, my sister is 15 (16 in Feb.) and i’m 23 so there’s an 8 year difference. not only does that limit things we can do together to some extent (clubs and bars and stuff) it also creates a huge maturity difference. which is noticable in our conversations lol. so just to say i want to “be a better sister” doesn’t give me much to go on as to measure and be able to actually BECOME a better sister.

okay so i can make more of an effort to be in her life. ask her about school and her friends and things that she’s interested in and going through. i can be the “cool big sister” invite her out with me to parties or to my apartment or movies or anything like that. and just be less frustrated with her all the time lol.

so as how to measure that, i would say at least once a month hang out with her and once a week talk to her about what’s going on with her life. again i’ll do this for three months (dec – feb) before i can call it a habit and cross it off my list.
