Bittersweet Tears
Sep. 3rd, 2012 09:07 amThis weekend was the best convention of the year, Anime Fest. I would elaborate more but that is not even the focus of this post.
I am happy because I was able to spend time with my sister in a setting that we are both very comfortable with; at a con in cosplay. It just made me think of the old days...back when we used to share a room...before her boyfriend...before I transferred into the university and had labs all the time...back when we could sit down and talk about anime and cosplay face to face instead of over the phone. It really made me realize how much I miss my sister. And I don't mean physically because we don't live far from each other, but I mean...just being around her and talking about stuff that makes us happy.
At the con, we were actually able to sit down and she could act like herself again. We can't do that around her boyfriend because he doesn't watch anime and he thinks it's "weird" that people cosplay it. And his family doesn't really have any outside friends because they are not social people so if I went over to their house, they would all be there and we couldn't talk about anime anyway. She seemed so happy to be away from them for a weekend and it makes me feel a little sorry for her. But she knows that she can always call me or come over and she can take a second to breathe and get away from them, so that makes it a little better.
I want my sister to get her own place instead of living with her boyfriend so that we can have more "sister time" together and he won't be there. I want us to see each other more, watch stuff together, sew together...just be sisters again. And I'm going to tell her all of this today when I see her. I'm going to walk down to the train station to get her so we can walk back together...just so I can have a few more moments with her before she goes home to him.
Shit when did I start crying
