Me and my bro ten years apart (I'm 33) so our bond is pretty much solid as we share the same interests now that he's an adult which I can safely say was influenced by me growing up, from videogames to music.
I'm just so glad he doesn't take fully after me in terms of drug use, partying and getting into dangerous situations like i do.
We aren't an emotional family (we don't hug or show sadness) but watching him geek out over nerd shyt like all that weeaboo art, Indie games and old school rap music makes me wanna cry cause it swells my heart to see him happy/excited over shyt.
He got tendencies I wish he'd break and his procrastination and sometimes lacadisical attitude towards certain shyt angers me, but he's my Ace and we all we got through the bullshyt that is our life right now and the rough waters we going through with our family shyt.
My sister is 7 years younger than him and I'm a bit ashamed to say that I used to get really angry and argue with her alot before she was a teenager cause she's spoilt and lazy.
This older woman I was messing around with at the time peeped the shyt and basically told me as big bro, if I continue getting angry with her for how she is, I'll risk alienating her and she won't depend on me as much if at all when she gets older and mature.
Plus if she's in a situation as a young woman that she needs a male perspective, brother love or if need be, my fist, she might turn to the wrong company and make matters worse.
Our relationship has gotten much better and even though she still annoys me at times I'd be lying if I said her smile when she graces me with it don't give a Breh heart murmurs.
With my lil bro, love that dude to death.
