i never pick up my phone from numbers not in my
contacts, but today, for some strange reason, i decided to pick up a random
raleigh number. to my surprise, it was my big bro, b. not too many people
know about b, but he was one of the most influential people in my teens. b
was one of the reasons why life seemed
to be going so well back in apex. i was surprised to hear from him, and it’s
crazy how he remembered my number by memory from 6 years ago. he tells me he calls
me every so often to check up, even though he knows i don’t pick up random
numbers. it’s wild, because last thursday when i was in the area, i was telling
someone about him and how i miss talking to him. we spoke on women, apex in
2011, and our parents amongst many other things. he told me to check out a song
he heard on the radio after he said his sister had been telling him i was doing
music and writing. it’s nice to know people still want to keep up with you and
talk to you even when it’s not always possible at times.
made my day hearing from him.
