Bright light might hurt at first glimpse

Hello everyone, I bring my greetings. I've grown to found of reading other people's story and rarely talked about mine. I often feel like "what's the usefulness of my story" or "who cares" and I guess it's because I rarely talked to people or go to social gatherings.
Tonight I'll just be talking about the recent discussion I had with my sister about my reaction the first time my sis told me I would miss her when she leaves for a place far from home where I can only call her.
Our discussion was a short but funny one where we both realised something.
When my sis first asked me this question four years back we were both in the kitchen doing the dishes after dinner. I came into the kitchen and was angry because of how she forced me to come do the dishes. I was already taking her selfless act for granted. We talked a bit with me always trying to argue. Later on she smiled and said that I'm going to miss her alot in future. I remember saying that I woun't miss her frankly like I was ready to chase her away from home. I was still a block head then, always playing video games and wishing my sister wasn't there to stop me. I never thought of seeing things from her perspective and didn't give her the chance to explain why she did these things. Its a good thing i figured out for myself irrespective of the time it took. After she left for the University, things at home suddenly became quiet and boring. It was like half of my body was missing. Game became very boring, all the fun things I did became something else in my sight except that my love for viewing arts never changed. That year when she left, I realised a lot of difference she made. I also missed her alot that I wished I never said those words. I hope her university gives her at least 2 week break this time around so we can spend more time with family and friends.
That's the little story I'd like to share for now, i hope i get the urge to share more of my life story. Let me know what's on your mind.

Thanks for your time
