For my brothers, hows life?

How are you coping? Probably just by the skin of your teeth like many of us I imagine. Those of you with lovers, be thankful and keep them close. Happy for you, happy that you have someone to inspire you, someone that pushes you to trudge on, someone that gives you purpose.

The older I get, the more alone I feel. My family and I day by day seem to be more estranged. We don't do birthdays anymore. Christmas is rather boring, short lived, and feels empty. Don't celebrate any other holidays.

I know most of you don't like to talk about it. Neither do I. I often type up things like this then just as quickly delete them. I can't recall the last time someone asked how I was doing. Not like a casual "how are you?" like people do, but a genuine curiosity and concern for your well being.
