story

I have a twin brother who's the complete opposite of me. He's tall, blonde and very intelligent in the abstract, complex minded sense. I over analyze everything which makes decision making difficult and inflates the little things in life...During high school I barely saw him. When he was home which was a rare occasion I wasn't and when I was he wasn't. I remember randomly seeing him on the 66 a bus going from the beach/ University of RI back to Providence and how wide our eyes got when he got on and I was there in a seat, sandy and sunburnt and such. It was so random but of course we were going to run into each other, it's Rhode Island. He sat next to me and it was easier to talk to him and we just chatted about the summer and life and everything and I realized how little credit I gave him in the past couple years when really I shouldn't have judged him at all. Yeah he drinks a lot and does a lot of drugs but with all the decisions I kept reeling in my mind he had such a delightfully simple answer to. Whenever I'm stressed and caught up in everything I just think about what answer he would give me. Like my stream of consciousness is "Should I go for a run I don't know it's pretty cold but I want to get in the habit of getting /staying in shape I don't know if my ipod is fully charged I don't know should I shouldn't I should I wait til tomorrow?" He would just kind of say irritated as if the answer was wicked obvious: "Just go if you want to!!" I don't know if it counts as a story but it reminds me to not stress over the little things and take things as they are.
