Two unordinary gentlemen trying to pave a path through this dark forest that we call life.

Day 5 - Letter to my Sibling (National Sibling Day)
Dear Evin Norris Washington,
My beloved little big brother. I chose you today because you are the sibling that I am closest to. We have grew up in the same household our whole lives, and come from the same mother and father, so we have all 46 chromosomes alike. Although it may not seem like it, but I love having you as a little brother, and always have. When we were younger we would fight a lot, but I do not think anymore than any other normal siblings did. As we got older, our fights decreased and we found ourselves hanging out more and more. I noticed this once I had moved off to college. I imagine that we were beginning to miss one another. One thing that really warmed my heart, was when mom told me that while you were in high school you told your teacher that I was the person you admired the most. I was amazed because I would have never known it had mom not told me and you still haven’t told me to this day, but that’s okay. I guess this can be my time to tell you how I have always admired you. Why? Because you’re an amazing person with limitless abilities and probably could do anything you put your mind to. I cannot say this about everyone I know. I have always told you that I want you to grow up to be a better person than me because I know that you could be, you just have to apply yourself. I am glad that you are back in school, this time you just need to stay and do whatever it takes for you to get where you need to be. All you have to do is TRY Evin. I don’t really know all of your friends, but I believe some of them are hindering your process because you are trying to live the type of lifestyle that they have had their whole lives and one that you have not. You just don’t seem to be focused, and I don’t think they are either, but they don’t have anything to worry about because they come from wealthy families and could fall back on that at any given time in life. This is not just speculation, I ran into one your friends not to long ago (or a guy I have seen you hang out with before) and he had the nerve to say he didn’t really care about the job he had because his parents had money. Those are the people you should stay away from. This is getting long. In short, I know I bitch at you a lot about stuff , but it’s only because I love you and I want to see you do well in life. I want you to focus on what it is that you need to do. Trust in Yahweh in all that you do and know that he is leading and guiding your path the whole way. Once you come to that understanding, you will be just fine.
Love your big little brother

Day 5 - Letter to my Sibling
Dear Tewahado Yeshimebet Holness, (a heavily influenced Rastafarian name.)
I told myself i wouldn’t write this letter, but I wont justify my reason for not doing it with some excuse. So here it is. You are my sister and nothing can change that. I wish we were close but we just aren’t. i remember a time in which I thought we were, but times have changed. It was around the time you went to high school and moved out of my room. We use to sleep in the same room, walk to the school bus together and do a lot of things together. But like any other older older sibling, you didn’t want little brother following you around and I wanted to be like big sis. I guess because of that I had to deal with being to myself quite often. Video games played a big part and helping with that transition. lol I must say some good has come of that because I am most comfortable when alone to myself. I look at other brothers and sisters speak about how close they are and I often wonder why we couldn’t be that close. Was i really such a nuisance to the point where you never wanted to be around me? Then mom gets sick and you up and move out. Once again making me feel reminiscent of when you went to high school. Its instances like those that make me feel as if you just don’t prefer us being close. Part of me feels that I just don’t understand you at all. But every now and then there are flashes in which i remember how we use to be as our younger selves. I don’t know what I want to convey but I feel as if you are in constant search of some form of serenity and the life you have now doesn’t provide you with that. So i hope you do attain what it is you seek and just ask that you don’t completely forget about me down the road…. wherever it is in life that God takes you. *tears…. like literally tears* But then part of me wants to be mad at you. I guess its because I have no understanding on why you are the way that you are. I feel like I am somewhat to blame for how you are and don’t even know why. Peace, Shalom and much prosperity. I believe that once you find true peace, then maybe you will come around.

Day 3 - Letter to Your Parents
I’m sorry. I’m going to have to pass on this one. My emotions are too far gone for me to articulate my feelings in a short and intelligible manner. However, I love my parents very much. All 3 of them.
