Being the cooler older sister isn’t about being perfect. It’s about having lived, loved too hard, fallen harder, found her way back, and doing it all in a way that makes you believe you can too. She’s the one who broke the rules first so you wouldn’t have to be afraid of breaking them. She taught you that beauty can be bruised, that strength isn’t loud, and that independence is a daily decision. She holds space for you when the world feels too big. She’s proof that softness and power can coexist that you can be gentle and untouchable. She doesn’t protect you from the fall but she teaches you how to land. She breaks the rules first, so you’re less afraid to follow. She hypes you up, lends you the good jacket, tells you the truth when you need it. She’s soft and sharp, wild and wise.
