Story

As siblings do, I often have a complicated relationship with my brother. We disagree about many things, and our personalities are very different, so clashes are bound to happen. We went through a rough spot in our relationship a few years ago. There were times where I didn’t want to be around him at all, and I’m sure he felt the same way. What’s unfortunate is that we grew up close and got even closer right before he left for college - but then, in this rough spot, it was like all of those good years had been erased by what kept us apart. 

One random day, a big dramatic episode happened in both of our lives. We were both forced to decide: “will we let this break us, or will we choose to be family again?” It was our breaking point that could have obliterated our relationship as siblings or redefined it.

Thankfully, love intervened. He’s my older brother - I’m his baby sister. Despite all of the rough patches that we’d been through, we decided to overlook them and work towards repairing our relationship. Of course, we still have moments of not wanting to be around each other or completely disagreeing about something. He still irritates me now and then, and I make sure to irritate him right back! It’s just what siblings do. Despite it all, I love my older brother, and I know that love will always bring us back together, even if we face difficulties that try to tear us apart.

My hope for you, with this beautiful Single, is that you’ll choose to let love bring you back to where you need to be. Remember that saying, “if you love something, let it go, and if it’s meant to be, it’ll come back to you”? I think it holds more truth than we realize.

Be bold,

Landri
