I don't know about you guys, but when Anges screams at the unicorn in Despicable Me I was done... Done... Done... Done... Head over heals in love with Agnes, the movie and of course the Unicorn with its cute little swirly nose. Love It! When I was a little girl I was totally obsessed with Unicorns, Pegasi, and Pegicorns. I had them everywhere: on my walls, clothes, and books. You name it I probablly had a unicorn on it. I even had still have a Unicorn sticker collection.
When I was a tween ages and ages ago... I wanted a Purple Unicorn with a golden mane and golden hooves. I looked everywhere for a purple unicorn... I see them everywhere now, but not then. My family parted ways when I was very young and there was one special visit with my dad that he bought me a unicorn stamp. I have treasured this stamp ever since, 'cause it connected me to him and because I had a purple ink pad, so I was making purple unicorns by the millions... I maybe exagerating, but not by much... I believe that this stamp was the first of my obsession with stamps even now.
Even still my favorite Christmas present this year was a pair of knee high purple unicorn socks! Some things never change, right!?!!
Have you ever wanted something so bad that once you got it you didn't quite know what to do with it?
Its a weird place to be in...
I grew up an only child...
I wanted a sister so bad... to do things with, share things, to be connected you know? What I didn't know then, but I do know now is that I do have a sister and loads of brothers too that grew up many many miles away; separated by states and unresolved familial issues.
I have a Sister and that is so exciting, but we're both adults now and its weird trying to find that common ground. I have found that we share a love for Unicorns and maybe even purple ones. I believe that is an awesome beginning to our future as sisters.
This is for you, sis...
