Breadwinner Brother (Page 2)

My point here is...

HE'S WASTING A LOT OF MONEY WITHOUT EXERTING EFFORTS TO EARN SOME. EVERYTHING IS GIVEN TO HIM. AND MY PARENTS WANT ME TO GIVE HIM SOME? NO EFFIN' WAY.

That might be true but I bet he has never dated several Supermodels.

Just give him a hug at times after all he might just be jealous at his older alpha bro. 😢

Excuse you! I’m 1/10th Spanish I’ll have you know 🤓🤓

Guys thank you so much for listening to me and responding to me.

You don't how much has changed this day.

My brother and I finally got to talk about all these things... and he is open to all the things I told him like to live within one's means and to work hard for things one wants to buy or afford.

We had an hour and a half of heart-to-heart talk and I told him, I will help you with all your needs... but for the things you want, you may have to work for that.

I also told him my life's story and how I tried my hardest to save money when I was a student and to be basically someone who didn't need a lot.

I was able to convince him.

And now we are trying to work on establishing his business. I told myself, I won't be leaving our family until I get to see my younger brother able to take care of himself without asking for money from parents and siblings.

I also told him to not ask from our sister whom I described as "overworked."

OMG I can't believe all these things are happening in a day.

Suddenly, my brother and I are friends again.

I am soooo glad and really can't believe this.

Anyway, this might shed some light why things shifted towards this direction. I actually posted an FB status and it goes this way:

A lot of soul-searching has happened this past night. Now that I've learned enough, another chapter awaits me.

I think I've matured one year more in just a night. I'm grateful to the internet for unearthing my deepest thoughts by allowing me to listen to music, read studies and historical events, and express myself.

I look at things differently now. My prejudices gone. Categories and labels obliterated.

My soul-searching last night and looking at all the things that I was mindlessly interested in helped me eradicate all these unnecessary labels and categories. I realized that in the end, we are all just the same.

I now see my brother as one intelligent, talented person who might have been misguided but is actually a genius in his own right. I kept on telling him how he did this and did that... that he's not really cognitively-impaired as what his doctor told him...

We did some things this afternoon like fixing the car and driving to the gym... things went perfectly well... I can't believe how a night of soul-searching without sleep (yes, I didn't sleep last night) would produce some kind of miracle.

I asked my parents about it, and they were pleasantly glad how things are turning out.

From now on, I will focus on my family and I will no longer watch porn. I have no reason why I can't find the right person for me... who may be a woman or a man... It doesn't matter. No more labels! Just do what's right and what's responsible. 🙂
