Weekly Blog #64 - Mix Bag

I haven't written for awhile and not for any good reasons but terrible ones rather. It's been a busy few days, a busy few weeks of just trying to get through things and not having much time for anything else really. For the most part, I've been taking a deep dive into the Beatles catalogue and just getting lost in their music. I went from album to album, interview to interview just taking it all in. I did this mainly because I saw that I didn't truly knew the Beatles and so what better way to learn more than just sinking my teeth into their catalogue and just finding my way through it. Not much else of noteworthiness has happen to be fair except one thing and that's disowning my brother. Of course, that's a sharp left turn from listening to the Beatles but that's life, its a mix bag.

I looked up to my brother at a very young age because that's what younger brothers do. I looked up to my other siblings as well but unlike them, the mirror started to crack after awhile for me and my brother and I started resenting my brother for the pain he caused my family with his actions and not caring. I usually kept my friends and family separate but if my friends ever asked about my family, talking about my brother was always very far down that list to a point they didn't know I had a brother because subconsciously, I thought the same thing in a way. Recently, my brother took advantage of my family financially and old stores were brought up to me of my past brothers actions which drove me off my rocker to a the point where I just had enough. I cut the ties as fast as I could at that point. I did it because of things he both now and before. He has become no person of meaning to me let alone someone I would call my brother. It's sad to have friends you rather call brothers than your actual one but sometimes the right decision is the hard one. Like I said, that's life, its a mix bag.
