#bro he remembered two different specific members and what i'd said about them from three weeks ago and asked for me to point them out

my brother and i have almost always shared taste in music which meant we made the jump from christian worship music to rock and roll at about the same time and then to punk pop and from there to metal all together while our sister went country -> pop -> indie 

basically this means my brother was the first person this year that i played kpop for and he told me he liked the beat of it and didn’t mind listening to it so we’ve been listening to that for a couple months now every time i go anywhere with him 

two weeks ago he told me he needed me to make him a playlist so he could listen to it while he worked on homework because he likes that he can vibe to it without getting lost in the lyrics and has actually been listening to it since i made him a playlist 

not only that but he apparently listens when i actually rant about it more than just the songs because he asked about a specific member by name the other day and then had me point out which one he was on the photocard and it shocked me because i had thought he was just indulging my need to rant and i was like ‘bro....you listen to me???’ and he laughed and told me he’d watched some video on youtube that was about the group we’d been listening to together and he wanted to put a face to the name from my rant and i just felt so loved 

i’m so used to friends and family just tuning me out, especially when i talk about things i really like or would love to do sometime. because more often than not it ends up with them being like...you didn’t ever say anything about such and such thing and i’m just like. i have been telling you nonstop for months. so it just really stunned me that he remembered exactly what i had been ranting about and who i had been ranting about and even which of the two groups he was in that i had been talking about that day from weeks back, almost cried tbh 

#my baby brother's the best #and not a baby anymore #bro's almost an entire adult and that's mind boggling #he sang along with me in the car when we went for lunch the other day and i'm so happy he's enjoying it #because everything's better when you're not alone lol #but like #i made a post a few weeks ago where i tagged it something about if people put half the effort into learning about my interests as i do #that'd i'd be the happiest person ever #bro he remembered two different specific members and what i'd said about them from three weeks ago and asked for me to point them out #could have died happy right there #it's the most loved i've felt in like three months
