get to know my brother better

while i’m not PARTICULARLY a fan of his gf (meaning i really couldn’t care less), he really seems to like her :) and seeing him at work, everyone likes to tease him and treat him nice.

he’s a good friend to just about everyone he meets, and i’m proud of him :) he’s using high school more than i was ever even allowed. sometimes, i don’t get jealous, but i get sad that i didn’t get to live my life the way he gets to live it, and it makes me happy that our parents aren’t all about him the way they’re all about me :( it’s a lot of pressure, and i’m so happy he gets to be the person he really is and wants to be without all the pressure.

he’s a better person than i can even have imagined having not done this goal!

also, i think i’ve completed this goal to the extent that i can at this time :) so i’m going to mark it as done.

he has a book of song lyrics :) i had no idea he was so serious about his music :)))

the only reason i found out was because sometimes you have those little spurts of inspiration, and i had one and thought, ‘wow that would be great in a song’ but i gave up on music a long time ago, so i gave it to him and he really liked it.

i never realized how multidimensional he is.

he’s a little bit slow but sweet haha, okay he’s a big idiot but he brings me icecream when he comes back from work so that’s okay.

today he said to me “you know, if you still lived in valdosta, you could have gone to see from first to last,” reminding me of how unhappy i am with where i currently live.

today what i know about my brother is that he’s tactless and doesn’t understand how unhappy i am, or if he does understand that i am unhappy, he doesn’t understand that it’s because i miss my life.

today i will see if his favorite food is still chicken.

update

chicken it still is and i believe probably forever will be!!

today i will find out if his favorite color is still blue :)

update

no, it is red. note to self.

my little brother and i used to be best friends; we still keep each other’s secrets, but i still wish i knew him better, like his goals and dreams, and the way he feels.

it’s my fault for being critical all the time, i’ve got to stop!

today it begins!

today my brother called me an “A—hole” because I drank all the milk.

i think he is a clone of my father,
i’m really not even trying to pursue this goal right now.

did we ever get along? sort of, maybe on family vacation or something. I miss feeling semi-like a family.

any hints as to how to bring two completely different people closer together?

Today my boyfriend bought me goldfishes, Raul and Midori!!! My brother helped me set the tank up. I gave him a big hug and the excitement on his face when he tipped the fish out of the plastic bag into the tank was priceless. Being able to spend that time with him and coming home to see him watching the fishes makes me feel that Im on this long process of becoming closer with my brother. Yep, after 7 hours, Raul and Midori are still alive. nods looking proud

My brother is quite possibly my favorite person to be around. I can tell him all the dumb thing about my life and have the security that he won’t stop talking to me forever, I get to hear about all the thingss he does with his friends, which makes life wonderful really. And he’s always there for me to play a game with on a boring Wednesday afternoon or take a walk with or wrestle with. Brothers are amazing, I think especially if you are a sister. It can give you such an uncensored male perspecive, and you automatically have so much in common, just being raised by the same parents. So completely worth it, I encourage everyone to do this to the largest extent possible.
