little sparrow

sparrow wings

i will not explain why i am posting a picture or writing about sparrow wings (yet), in case somebody comes across this post and decides to be a major derpball. i will explain what they signify to me in my own personal view, though.

whenever i think of a sparrow, i think of a small and plain little bird. the color and shape of the feathers and wings remind me of a softness, a gentleness. sparrows are never usually seen by themselves and whenever i feed one, a few more always join their companion. they are never alone and function well  in pairs or groups; they are a family bird and i adore that about them. they are generally common but their behaviour and characteristics are appealing to me.

they remind me of my love for my family, but mainly my sister. she is one of the greatest people i have ever known and i know it is rare to have a fantastic opinion about a sibling. i have a great attachment to her and i can honestly say she is my best friend, a person that i will be close to forever. whenever we do get into a disagreement, it is impossible to hold any grudges no matter what is said or done and the issue is dealt with and fixed within an hour or two, sometimes even less.

she is a very funny and adorable human being with a great heart, i swear she must have gold blood flowing in her veins and i wish the people involved in her life could see it. she has been hurt by people just like i have and does not have the mindset or personality of the majority of girls her age, which i am very thankful for. we can talk about anything. she is very artistic and i often wonder what her mind is filled with and what she sees.

i appreciate her very much, but sometimes i even catch myself feeling envious that i am not more like her. it's foolish of me  but that twinge of jealousy is fleeting, never spiteful and is quickly overcome with appreciation of her greatest qualities.

she is someone i look up to and i know she looks up to me as well. she has ever since birth and watching home videos always brings a smile to my lips because she is often caught on camera copying things that i do and following me around. i had trouble adjusting to having a sibling for awhile when i was younger, unused to sharing the attention. over the years she became my greatest companion and i appreciated her more and more and we have always been inseparable.

this post may seem a bit random, but it ties together perfectly and has a significance to it. i love my little sister very much and we will always be together, sparrows remind me of our bond.
