Day 4 and 5

Day 4 - Your siblings:

To my older lil bro and sis: I don’t think anybody has the kind of bond as siblings we have. We fuss and we fight but at the end of the day, we all laugh. If there was an argument, two seconds later we’re there for each other. I wouldn’t trade you guys for anything in the world. Nothing and no one will ever come between us. Even though we’ll now be halfway across the country apart, my love and our bond will never change. You are two of the greatest people in my life ever. I love you guys so much and I always will. I hope y’all will come visit me sometimes.

To my baby bro and sis: You guys are still pretty young and getting to know me as I’m getting to know you. I’m still trying to get used to having such young siblings. It’s weird though because I’m old enough to be your dad, lol. For 20 years, I only had to deal with just two, and now I have two more. What in the world am I going to do? At least we’re off to a good start, so far. Even though I won’t be in Houston anymore, I’m still going to make sure you guys have whatever you need and that all five of us remain close. I’ll still be your big brother and I’m only a call away. Of course, me and the older ones will make sure y’all don’t do the same crazy things we did. Y’all have to do something crazier, lol. I love y’all.

Day 5 - Your Dreams

I’ve always wanted to become an Obstetrician/Gynecologist. Nooooo, it’s not because I want to look at pussy all day. I get annoyed when people say that, lol. Although, that ain’t too bad. I realized this dream when I was in middle school and it’s something that I became passionate about. Of course, I need to hurry up and finish undergrad so I can get my ass to med school. But I’d rather take my time right now. I’m currently on a journey that can take me anywhere. I’m enjoying life. Fuck being a robot zombie.

Day 3 - Your parents

Mom: Gosh, you are THE most amazing woman I admire most in this world. I swear there is no one  else that can even come close. You did it all by yourself, raising three children. You are a strong black woman and you’ve worked hard to get where you are now. Your love, your caring and nurturing, and disciplining lol…all helped shaped me into the man I am today. You taught me to be respectable, well-mannered and independent, to stand up for myself and speak what I believe in. As shy as I used to be, nothing can keep my mouth shut now, lol. There are times I should have listened to you, now that I look back, but sometimes I have to do things and learn on my own. In the end, I always turned out all right. I know how much you love me that you don’t even need to say it. We’ve had our differences but because of our special bond that goes beyond mother and son, we can always get past them. You are my rock. You’ve been there when I needed you all my life and now I’m leaving, going to live in another state. I don’t know what I’m going to do without you but I know I’ll be okay. I know you are proud of me but I feel like I still have a long way to go. I love you, Mom.

Dad “Papi”: I might not have much to say to you whenever we’re together but I do love you, no matter what. I wish we had a better relationship than what we have now but at least we were working on it. If only I didn’t have to leave. I wish you would have been there for me all those years though. You’re a strong man. No matter how much life knocked you down, you always got back up. You’ve been given another chance to change things. I love my stepmom and little baby brother and sister. You’re doing so much better in your life now and you’re making it work. No matter what, I’m proud of you for making the effort.

Day 2 - Letter to your crush

{UknowWhoUare}

I really, really, really, REALLY like you a lot, which you already know, lol. I’ve enjoyed talking to you and getting to know you these past 3 months. My day feels complete whenever I hear from you. Anytime we don’t have contact, I feel incomplete. All I can think about is you, no matter what I’m doing. It just puts a smile on my face. I hope soon we’ll finally start our future together. :)

30 Day Letter Challenge: Day 1 - Your Best Friend

{Nikki} All I can say is thank you. Knowing you for the past three years have been the best and I thank God for bringing you into my life. In fact, it’s funny we have the same cousins and crossed paths so many times before we actually met, lol. I’ve had a couple of best friends in my life but you have been the best yet. We shared so much laughter and so many tears between us. You’ve been there for me through whatever, even if I didn’t want you there. You’re the greatest there is. Even if you get on my last nerves and annoy the heck out of me sometimes {often…very, very often}, I will always love you for sticking it out with me and my crazy personality. You’ve gotten to know me, more than what my own family does. Sometimes, though, it seems like you need a manual, lol. No matter what happened between us, our friendship prevailed. I want you to know that I do care, though it may seems as if I don’t. Now it seems that I’m going to be leaving (if I get things settled in time). I want you to know, whatever happens from here on out, I’ll always be there for you - my ears and my shoulders, and I hope you’ll do the same for me. I may not tell you everything, seem so mysterious (which I like to be) and secretive (you ain’t gotta know err’thang lol) but I hope one day you’ll FINALLY understand me completely and why I’m that way. You are the TRUEST friend there is and I hate when you’re taken advantage of. Just remember everything I tell you when you’re going through something and you’ll be alright. I love you bestie and I appreciate you very much.
