Be Nice

       So, I have siblings. Two older, and one who's younger. The younger siblings tend to look up to the older ones--whether for example, or support. The way that I view my older siblings has yet to change since as long as I can remember. I never thought I'd see the day my older brother got engaged. Yes, I am aware that he is 25 years old. He is in fact a grown man, but to me he'll always be my protective, annoying, silly, and occasionally immature big brother.
      I guess his engagement is sort of bittersweet. I love weddings; I was always eager for the opportunity to participate in one, and I suppose that's the sweet part. There's just one issue, the bitter part, and it's his fiance. If you were to look up CONTROLLING in the dictionary her picture would be there. I suppose it's because she's a bit older than my brother. I guess he loves her; he listens to everything she says. She takes advantage of the fact that my brother can't say no--it's just his nature.
      I'm not the type of person to just up and dislike someone for an illegitimate reason though; I've never been. She claims to be outspoken, but there's a boundary between outspoken, and just borderline rude. I feel as though he could be a bit more respectful to my siblings, my mother, and me as well. He hardly visits us anymore since he's been living with her--I haven't seen him in a month. She's never invited us into her home either; I'm not sure if I really care, or with that said, maybe I do? She insists that he's happy, but I know my brother more than she does, he acts differently; this is just not who he is, he's changed.
         I may not agree with everything she says or does, but I'll still try my best to respect her--for my brother. They've been dating for a little less than a year; I don't know if he's ready to get married, being that it was such an impulsive decision, and he sometimes sounds unsure. I'm not sure if its going to last, but if he really loves her, I'll try my best to come to some understanding with her and myself. I love my brother, and I hope she loves him too.
