I went for a road trip with my brother the other week, as neither of us were doing anything that day and my brother enjoys driving to random places. We listened to old cassette tapes created during our childhood, caught up in general and went driving round different coastal towns - it was a really nice day!
My brother and I have been close all our lives. It might be because of how we were brought up or because we are both creative or it could be something completely different, but all I know is it is something nice to have.
Growing up I had a lots of mates who didn't get on with their siblings and didn't get how we got on so well, but for some reason it worked. We are four years apart in age (me being the older) and not being the same sex helps, as there has never been a massive rivalry in anything. We have been a similar height at times (me being tall for a girl and him suddenly shooting up in height) making some people think we were twins (hell NO, I'm the oldest sibling) or even worse, him the older one (hell NO, LOL)
The great thing about having a sibling as a child, was always having some around who you could have a laugh with outside of your friendship groups (for someone like me that had friends at school, but hated school, this was great!). Our child hoods were made up of making and creating props and sets and having fake fights or fantasy adventures - our mates used to come round and love all the costumes and things we built and we'd have crazy tournaments in are garden. It was a lot of fun! As we got older we both became interested in filming, so landed up making mock music videos normally including us both and any mates that wanted to be part of it - we had such a laugh.
As we have got older, we have both developed keen interests in stand up comedy and a range of music genres, meaning that we have a mutual understanding (most the time) of good entertainment. Although we don't always see each other (as our work timetables cross over most the time), we still have that other person we can talk to outside of our friendships, relationships and of course, our parents.
As an adult, I feel really lucky to have a brother like the one I do. He may not always be right (I'm most probably right, lol), he might not always make the best choices, but he's my brother and I'm lucky to have that extra person in my life that can make me smile and laugh when I'm down.
I want to dedicate this post to not only my brother, but all the great siblings of my friends, that make all our lives happier. We may not say it all the time, but we are lucky to have you : )
