She Taught Me

My older sister Stacy and I. When I was younger she was my my hero. I idolized her in every way. She never liked me though (probably because I constantly followed her around, stole her clothes/make up and was super annoying) and usually left me out. Her rejection stung, but in a way it taught me a very valuable life lesson. Heroes or idols or role models aren't really all you make them out to be. You can't depend on someone to be bigger than you, at the end of the day all you really have is yourself. It's up to you to make things happen. She taught me to put faith into myself and not worship others. She taught me to be my own hero.
