There are a never-ending amount of things in this world that I will never understand, and that's okay, I'm not the only one. I've always been an extremely curious person, always wanting to know what and why, and I'm not too sure if that will ever cease, I sure hope not. Throughout my childhood years, I've had quite the array of role models. By far, the two that seem to stand out most memorable to me is my brother, Max, and my cousin, Tony. Being only three days apart from one another, they themselves grew up like brothers, myself being the younger 'sister' to both.

Our families spent tons of time together, as we live very close to each other and we all got along super well. I wanted to do everything my brother and Tony did, I wanted to be just like them. I thought they were the funniest, smartest, coolest people to ever walk the planet. I now realize that that's me (sorry guys, grandma likes me best). I looked up to them in every aspect, and even today I still do. They've paved the way for me, have always been there for me to talk to about anything and everything, and I still aspire to be like the both of them. They are by far the kindest people I have ever met, and I think the both of them deserve the world.

If you've had the privilege to meet Max or Tony, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Tony, my cousin, is the most adventurous, free-spirited man and couldn't hurt a fly. He is truly one of the sweetest people to exist, and I am so thankful I get to know him. Max, though he never admits he loves me, loves me. He's always been there to protect me, just like Tony. I have my own bodyguards, it's quite luxurious. He is the strongest person I've known and has overcome an incredible amount of obstacles, and I could not be more proud to call him my brother.

What I don't understand is how some can be so distant from their siblings and family. There's always time to change your ways, to make amends. You don't have to agree with everything they do, but you're family, and you can't help that no matter how estranged you become. Don't be ashamed in who you are related to, because they're your greatest support system, I'm just overwhelmed with love for the two best role models I could've asked for. Thank you guys, I love you both (and I know you love me too, Max).
