My bother and Bea are so stinkin cute together! It's easy to see how deeply in love they are with each other. They're already back in Brazil and I miss them so much! We all had a great time during their visit. Bea is such a kind, genuine and loving person. I feel privlidged to have her in my life. My bother and I weren't very close growing up, but after this visit we finally got the chance to really connect and bond. Better late than never, right? I've been re-evaluating some of the relationships that I have and I've come to the conclusion that I can't and I won't pretend to be someone that I'm not. I'm not going to bore you all with my family/friendship drama. I'm just going to say that I am proud of who I am and I refuse to pretend to be something I'm not. You can accept me for who I am or not at all. I'm in a really happy place in my life and instead of dwelling on the past, I'm going to stay positive and work on building and strengthening the relationships that I currently have.
Sounds like a great plan, it really is not good to wallow around in the past, and it is not good to pretend that never works because really you can only put on an act for so long. Who knows how many days we get here right! Its good to take each day for what it is and be happy with who we are ;) ~Looks like you had a great visit I have a similar relationship with my brother I would love to reconnect with him as well. But you can't force it so I will keep waiting and hoping ~Glad you were able to visit Love Heather
ReplyDeleteThank you for the nice comment, Heather :)
DeleteThat's awesome, I haven't seen or spoken to my brother in almost 10 years, we had a rough relationship growing up and then when we finally started connecting we lost it all. So happy for you guys to have another chance!

What a bummer, Alex. I hope you all can reconnect again :)
DeleteGood for you. I am trying my best to do the same. It looks like you guys had a great time. It is never too late to reconnect with someone special in your life. My brother and I are going through a funk - I hope to have an opportunity like this with him soon, but distance makes it hard.
ReplyDeleteDistance really does make it harder. I hope you guys are able to reconnect :)
DeleteThat sounds like a really wonderful conclusion and I'm sure it was no easy one; it can be all too easy to play a persona around family. I'm really glad for you & so happy to hear you're in a great place w/ life! your brother & SIL are so so cute too & looks like you gave them a great tour.

You're right. It really wasn't easy. I had to make the decision to let go of a couple of relationships because of this. I wish it didn't have to be this way, but I can't pretend to be someone I'm not. :/
DeleteIts great reconnecting with, or making a new connection, with someone! It looks like you had a great time. And drama stinks. Cut it out !
