sisters be good to your brothers...

well, i think i should have a talk with my brothers. at least jake, since he is older.
i want him/them to know that if they ever are having girl problems
they can talk to me about it. get a girls point of view. tell him how the girl
might be feeling about things.i don't want them to go around feeling like they broke
someone's heart. that is not a good feeling to have
on your conscience. but at the same time, you can't sacrifice what will make you
happy, because a girl is going to get her feelings hurt. that puts some guys
in the situation to talk to both of them. which will ALWAYS end bad. you will
keep developing feelings for both girls until you get caught and are left with
nobody, or are forced to choose. and it will hurt both of those girls forever.
so. i want my brothers to be good guys. good boyfriends. good companions.
i have tremendous faith in the people they already are. jake is very good to
his girlfriend. but i know sometimes situations arise out of nowhere, and if you
make the wrong decision you will always regret losing that girl.
i feel like my sister and i didn't cry enough in front of them. i remember
crying over boys and my brother would ask what was wrong and i would say nothing.
if someone sees their sister getting hurt by something, they are likely to avoid
doing that to someone else. at least i know my brother's would. i never really
showed or told them, this is how you don't treat a girl. so hopefully a talk
and the invitation to talk whenever they need to will do just as well.
i know they are good guys, even at such a young age. but the good guys are
the ones who don't want to hurt someone else's feelings. and we know how that goes.
i love my brothers and i just don't ever want them to wish they could
have been a better boyfriend, a better man, a better friend, a better person.
