May and I are sisters. We'll always fight, but we'll always make up as well. That's what sisters do: we argue, we point out each other's frailties, mistakes, and bad judgment, we flash the insecurities we've had since childhood, and then we come back together. Until the next time.

We're told that men are strong & brave, but I think women know how to endure, accept defeat & bear physical & mental agony much better than men.
