Hello Steemit! i just want to share this writings about brotherhood. To all people who has a brother read this.
To my little brother,
I am so immensely proud of you. I can’t even tell you how much I love you. You mean the absolute world to me and I want you to know that I will always be your number one fan.
I know that life is hard for you right now. You are growing and having a ton of new experiences that aren’t easy. You are finding out who you are and learning what you like and don’t like.
When you were little, you would climb into my bed when you had a nightmare. Your little hand would pat my head to wake me up and you would snuggle into me to feel safe.
Please know that I still want to make you feel safe. I will always try, but I can’t be there all of the time.
I am so proud of the man you are, the man you are becoming, and the man you will be. Sometimes though, I still see you as a little boy. Please forgive me when I overstep boundaries.
When I look at you, I see the little boy that reached for my hand when he skinned his knee on the concrete. I still see a little face crumbling into tears when his ice cream spilled.
You don’t need me to tell you what to do anymore. But, I still want to. I want to give you all of the knowledge that I’ve learned. I constantly forget that the best gift I can give you is to let you make your own mistakes.
You will make HUGE mistakes. These mistakes will lead to pathways you didn’t even know existed. These errors will take you down some of the most exciting roads. Embrace your mistakes. Learn from them, and above all else, forgive yourself for making them.
Trust your inner voice. Trust the tiny whisper of your heart that says to go on, that says to try harder. You’re a smart cookie, you need to have faith in yourself.
I want you to remember that you are loved and you are important. When life makes you feel scared and worthless, muster that inner strength to know that you are here for a reason. I have always known that you are special…
When you feel like giving up, remember that I support you. When you feel like everyone hates you, remember that I love you. When you feel like you’re not good enough, remember that you are my world.
Most importantly, I need you to know that no matter how far away life takes us, you can always call me when you have a nightmare.
