spend more time with my brother

Is a pothead. Ugh. He just got cited for it, I dont know how (the details) but he has to go to court. He is pretty lazy. I dont know how to get thru to him. We really dont have anything we can do or talk about together. :(

Wow it seems like a lot of you are in the same position as me (younger brother) He is 18, I am 23. I just realized it but our family doesnt say I love you often and I dont think my brother or I had ever said it to each other. I heard from my mom that she saw him crying so I texted him to see if he was ok/what happened. It was over a girl ofcourse so I told him dont be upset over that skank and that he deserves better. He then texted me back saying “thank you. This may be kind of different for our fam…haha I LOVE YOU.” First time I think hes ever told me that. It made me cry. He is such a smart great kid and I wish we didnt live so far apart now (1.5 hrs) but I really wanna spend more time w/ him.
