Sisters, to me, are fascinating because it is a unique connection of the coming together of connection and competition. The fact that you have these age differences is a built-in power struggle, and the fact that you're all trying to get attention and resources from the same parents creates competition.

I think it is important to remember that there are so many different ways to be sisters.

I have two sisters; one is two years older, and one is eight years older. That helped me understand how completely different sister relationships can be.
