My brother and I have always been opposites for the most part.
When I was always focused on my studies and getting good grades, he would always be getting into some kind of trouble.
When I took good care of my things, he didn’t seem to care much about of anything. When I enjoyed good climate control in the household, he would always want the climate control system turned off and he would commonly turn off the thermostat and get into trouble by doing so. Admittedly, that was a great way to save money on the energy bills, but it ruined the air quality in the household, and he mostly seemed to do it just to make everybody mad. He actually ended up getting into so much trouble, he had to be placed in a special facility and we would go to visit him. I don’t really know why my brother turned out to be like that, but he seemed to always be mad at everything in life. My parents were always telling me how grateful they were that I turned out to be such a good kid. I always thought about my brother though and I always tried to talk to him. I really wanted to understand him why he always was so mad about everything. He would always say negative things and talk about how nothing really mattered. He ended up going to prison for committing some serious crimes. He didn’t kill anybody, but he got into serious drug problems and there was no reaching out to him. I hope eventually he will be able to find peace in his life.
