What I Learned about my Brother

The most important lessons are not learned through age, but the experiences that change us       

        Dear God,

  There came a point, where I began to understand my brother's tendencies to distance himself from people. His friends where never the same, his interested, always changed. I thought it was sad, for a person to never have a steady group of friends, but as time passed, the years added to my life helped me to understand this way of living. Distance, is not a sad word. Distance is a natural form of protection. Like my fear of being too happy, distance was an armor to fix this. It was the sad realization that survival was not depended on others, but only upon ones self, and that is when I learned: being alone was my only destination. Set into the stone of time. My natural independence, my ability to be by myself in several situations. The same things my brother had accepted, the same things so many others had. After all, not all stories can have a happy ending, it just all depends on who's story it is. In order for the balance of the world to stay steady, some people are just destined to have a sad ending to a sad, sad story.
