On Sunday, my brother will be leaving to San Diego for basic training. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and is set to leave to San Diego on Sunday. The eleventh. Growing up, my brother was such an asshole. One time, out of boredom, my brother burned a straw and then stabbed my back with it. I don't know if you ever tried that but it really hurts. I ended up with a scar on my back. Thanks to that idiot. Note, that this was when we were like in elementary.
Another asshole moment was when my brother made a "homemade pie". The idiot mixed cool whip, soy sauce, and sprinkled red mud with an earthworm and told me to eat it. Okay, i'll admit, I was an idiot too, but not as much as he was. I ended up eating it (but not the worm) and my brother just watched and laughed. Surprisingly, we didn't fight. It was "fun".
One thing about my brother and I is that we love to fight. Physically fight. Not those arguing type of nonsense. Whenever we have a disagreement about things, we fight. My brother and I created a name within my whole family as "The Fighters". Wherever we go, he and I would fight. It was pretty bad. We would fight at birthday parties, rosaries, and other places. The thing about my brother is that only HE could touch me, but once somebody else touches me its a big problem. My brother has my back.
People who know my brother know that he doesn't really talk. They also know that he looks "matapang" but is actually cool. He only chooses to be matapang to some people when he wants. People judge him and say that "he's mean" by the way he looks, but he just has that "I don't like you" face but is really chill if you get to know him. (Its funny how people judge people by the way they look without even getting to know the person.) My brother is one of those friendly, stupid kind of people. He's one of a kind.
I guess now that he's leaving to start his life, its hitting me. It's hitting me that we're soon to be on our own. Our parents will be there but we're soon to live on our own. Start our life. Us kids. I never thought that my childhood would soon come to an end. I now know that my life is about to start and that I'm soon to be on my own too. I'm pretty scared and nervous on how things will go. How my future will be.
My brother is about to start his life. I never thought I'd see the day. The day he finally leaves the farm and moves out. I know once he leaves, everything will be different around the house. I know that the weekends will be boring now that he's not there. That I won't have anymore Friday night bida. It's gonna suck.
Although my brother is an asshole, I still love him very much. I'm so proud of him and so proud of what he became. He's a man now. My partner since birth is finally gonna start his life. Such a shock to me, but i'm happy for him. It still feels like it was just yesterday that we were eating dirt lol! I know for sure I'm gonna miss him. I mean who wouldn't? He's the best. Good luck to my "bradder." I love you bro <3
