It’s been raining all day.
I’ve got a bucket out to catch the leaks — little echoes of the storm, steady and calm.
Yesterday, my brother and I watched F1 for the first time together.
He’d seen it before, but this time something hit different.
There’s that scene — the one where Pitt’s character starts flying toward the end.
The noise fades, and he just moves clean.
I think that’s what my brother felt: the reminder that even after chaos, there’s another gear waiting — but only if you get quiet enough to hear it.
He sent a hundred flowers to the girl he loves.
Messy, hopeful, human.
That’s what longing looks like when it’s trying to steer again.
The delivery driver had to take a picture to confirm the delivery.
She didn’t want to be in it — so her cousin stepped in.
Maybe she didn’t take the photo. Maybe it doesn’t mean anything.
But the act itself — it meant everything.
Don’t chase the past.
Just learn how to fly again.
Fly, young brother.
Later that same night, we watched My Oxford Year on Netflix.
He told me I should see it — a film he once watched with his ex.
She loves movies. He doesn’t, unless they’re action, found-footage horror, or so honest they hold him still.
This one’s about heartbreak — about falling for someone who’s already dying.
The guy has cancer. The girl flew from Queens to study at Oxford. Then life happened.
My brother said the movie had a good message: you can’t plan life.
Now he’s here in L.A., and she’s still in Mexico — living her life.
Soon he’ll go back home too.
Funny — here in Los Angeles it rains, while in Mexico, where she is, it’s a sunny day.
