“You’re smart, I know you got this. I am always a call away if you need anything”
I would go on a drive with my third oldest brother Daniel. All my brothers moved out so we could just talk about life and what is currently happening. He would always ask me If I were happy, or just listen to me talk about what I am doing in school and what I am thinking about for my future. He would share some thoughts and ideas to keep me from stressing out. He always had his best interest in helping me to succeed. Things got tougher as I got older.
Daniel once made me do a task alone and stopped my other brothers from helping me, which at the time made me mad and frustrated. The next day I remember going to him and thanking him because it was just the little push I needed. I was always independent but hated feeling alone. Daniel has been busier and with me in school I saw him for way less. I always looked up to him because of how hard he worked for everything he got, working his way up and only to continue to hustle.
I remember the last day when all my brothers lived with me, and I thought it would have made me happy considering they bothered me when they were in my room but now, I wish they never left. I have learned so much from them but especially Daniel. Growing up I do not remember as many memories I had with Daniel as I can remember with my other brothers. He would always listen to what I had to say, either my thoughts or my report cards from school. No matter how busy he is, I think to myself he will always have my back.
Hi Kinga your relationship with your brothers is so heartwarming. I don’t really know how that feels like since I don’t have any older siblings but I hope I can set some kind of an example like that to my young siblings.
I agree that the thought of your siblings moving out is way better than when it actually happens. You and your brothers relationship sounds like a great support system especially because you are starting this new chapter in your life its good that you have people around you to fall back on. I also agree that being independent and feeling alone are two very different things. It can be hard when the people you are use to being around get busy but It also sounds like he did a great job preparing you to do-things on your own.
It’s wonderful that you have supportive brothers! HOw lucky you are.
This sounds like a tribute to your brother Daniel. Has he been a mentor to you and guided you in your education?
You write: I would go on a drive with my third oldest brother Daniel. All my brothers moved out so we could just talk about life and what is currently happening. CAN YOU SHOW ME this car ride? Was it night or day? ANd where did you usualy drive to? SHOW me the exact convo you had with him? Don’t just tell me “would always ask me If I were happy, or just listen to me talk about what I am doing in school”. SHOW ME the exact words. Can you CREATE a scene with dialogue– the back and forth words from you and from Daniel?
