Struggles.

It is 12:44 am.

I just came from my cousins joint birthday party, for both of them share a birthday in the same few days.  They are brothers, but oh how they are different.  I am currently struggling to communicate with the younger brother, for he is in high school and facing similar things that many others around this age usually deal with.

Do you remember the feeling? When you thought the whole world was against you, and that you were in this lonesome battle called life, all by yourself? I remember that feeling vividly, but it was a very selfish feeling because I didn't acknowledge the support of my friends and family.  Sometimes I still get down, but I always come back and realize how blessed of a life I have, and how many wonderful people support me.  What he doesn't realize, is that he has this too.  I don't know what it's like to be a sibling, for I am an only child.  Oh how I wish I could share that relationship with someone, that love for another person.. but these boys are the closest thing I have, and it kills me to witness this pain that this boy is going through.

It is hard to break through to someone, to let them know that they are loved, when they feel forgotten, or feel like they are the black sheep.  But I will be persistent, I will show the love and support that I have received in my life, and relay that to him.  Why is it so difficult to try to get to someone who doesn't want to be taught, who doesn't want any change?

Bye for now,
