Tonight my brother called me
He asked me about my health..
How was I doing?
How are my studies going?

And why is that so special?
Because in my entire 26 years of life he did this only twice.

From not being able to stand each other in a room..
..to face timing each other with a big smile on our faces. From wishing bad luck upon each other to seeking blessings for each other .

We siblings have come a long way.
After all the childhood traumas we went through..this relationship is finally healing and I cannot be more grateful.

They said “sibling fights” are normal
But not until one needs to be hospitalized.
Then you realise things are far worse.

But,
Distance became a therapy for us. It’s indeed true distance changes you.

After being away from each other for more than 10 years.. now we finally realise the essence of this beautiful relationship we never understood before .

And I’m grateful for this realisation.
