Family

My little brother just stopped by, and I hadn't seen him since he moved out last week. He had left all of his toiletries, which is why he came back, and hadn't shaved / brushed his teeth since then. It really hurts me to see him like that. He could (and we all could, I know) be so much more than he wants. I have to let him develop his own person though, however/wherever that takes him. I gave him everything he needed to succeed when he dropped out last Spring and moved in with me.

He made the decision to not take advantage of the break I cut him. I know that you can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink and all that, but it doesn't change the fact that he is still my little brother and I want to see him succeed.

I asked him if I might need him to deliver something for me about an hour away tomorrow did he have any plans and he said give me $10 so I can get a new license, and its a deal. I feel like a mafioso or something.... so I gave him the $10 so he can go get it now. He is as I type this walking to the nearest DMV. I wanted badly to let him take my car, you know I'm sitting here at work not using it today. But I didn't, because for one I told him he would never drive it again so help me after the cigarette burns I found, and two if I keep letting him piggyback off of the things I have, he'll never have/want anything of his own.

We must all want to succeed, if forced upon us it is only temporary. I wish him luck in this life.
