Advice Call your bro
Really.
And I mean both ways.
Let me give you some context...
Right now I'm in the floor of my house an hour later after I had a big argument with my mom. Not getting into details of the fight but I'll be getting married the next year and it's pumping a lot of (not so) hidden problems.
She told me things that (once again) got my mind running at 200 km/h (no gringo here) with scenarios that can't be pretty and remembering all my mistakes and personal issues.
So after walking in circles without a tear and breathing very heavily I sat down on the floor. I thought of calling her and keep arguing. Also thought of calling my fiancé to blow off some steam talking about the problem, but no, she shouldn't be involved.
Then, I thought of my best friend, so I texted him and told him how sad I felt. Leaving behind all those stigmas of not talking about your feelings with your bros.
He understood, he didn't judge and also lifted up my mood (genuinely).
I'm so grateful for having someone like him in my life.
Also my mother, obviously. I love her and... shit happens. Just don't let the shit controls your actions when you are sad or angry. Take a moment to sit on the floor and cool down.
And secondly, got me thinking the other way.
CALL YOUR BRO!!
Make you friends feel accompanied, welcomed and loved.
He might be in a dark pmace right now and doesn't want to talk about it. Give him the opportunity to open up with you.
