Me in 2010. ^
Sis let’s be real. In order to get to the realness we need to go back in time...to the year 2010. Eleven years ago I was dating this guy who at the time I thought was "the one". We were engaged and I was in that blissful state that every girl thinks she is in when in love. Looking back, I know that was one relationship in my guidebook of love, but not a true example of love, if that makes sense. I believe you have different loves in your life and they help guide you toward the love you want. As we get older, our wants evolve, what we want in a relationship and how we want to be loved changes. Let’s go back to the time machine that is this post. It's 2010 and I'm in love, I'm happy (I think) but i'm not real. It's funny how we try to convince ourselves of something no matter the reality. You know that thing we do when we’re interested in someone and we lie about our interests? If no, then you are a very self assured woman and I tip my hat to you. In 2010 I was not that woman. I behaved this way through most of the relationship.
"Do you like soccer?" Damon* asked
“Omg I love it!”
The next day I am at Walmart looking for soccer jerseys and memorabilia to decorate my apartment. A relationship built on plastic truths will tumble like a deck of cards. And it profoundly did. I was upset, but I learned.
As your sisters, we want to help you embrace the “realness” of you. Growing into the person you want to be is an amazzing feeling and I wish this for all my sisters.
Call your Sister is about being Free to be REAL. What does that mean?
R.E.A.L
R is REALIZE. Everyone doesn't GET you. That's ok. If everyone "got" you where is the room to be exceptional?
E is EXCEPTIONAL. Take a look at yourself. You can bring forth LIFE! You rise from the harshness of life like a Phoenix.
A is AWARE. You O' bearer of life is becoming aware of how phenomenal you are. You are just touching the tip of your brightness
L IS LOVING. Loving you. The REAL you. The you that has been waiting to be REAL. Love the journey. Love the hills. Love the valleys. Loving the you it has taken this long to find
*The name was changed.
