I just met my one and only 1st blood related cousin. Wow. For the first time. He didnt even know we existed until he was 18 💀 our family tree is... woof
but he's literally so cool. He reminds me of my brother, which ig makes sense? Except at the same time, he is SO different. Which also makes sense. And he is the SPITTING IMAGE of my late uncle (his dad). Again, makes sense 😭🙏 Since he's around my age (oh no don't tell the feds) we got along really well. Ofc it's awkward at first, there's no stopping that. We're family that's meeting like strangers, what do you expect? But omg I feel so giddy rn. After the first 15 minutes of small talk everything just felt natural, like weird but familiar if that makes sense?? He was here for HOURS and I learned so much about him. He was (for obvious reasons) the Main Topic of every conversation which I think made him nervous but we went outside just me and him for a time and he was chill. He's funny! We talked a lot. I really want to become close with him, like friends not just because of blood relation. I like him a lot. This experience was kinda emotional for me and us and him too, and afterwards, his mom texted my mom and told us what he was saying on their trip home. He basically said that he feels the same way as me in the fact that he wants to have a closer relationship. He felt that we (me and him specifically) really 'hit it off' and bonded over music and interests and stuff. He even said he thinks his 'real dad is laughing in heaven because this day was just the best'. OH MY GOSHHH I'M CRYING. LIKE GENUINELY SERIOUSLY CRYING. BC WTFFF 😭😭😭🩷🩷🩷
He's the best cousin I've ever met and officially my favorite cousin of them all, even though I've literally only known him for 7 hours. Ive never been close with any of my cousins since I was like a toddler, but me and him are thinking the same thing. Wanting to be close in the future. Genuinely he's already like another brother to me. YAYAYAYAYAYAAYAYYAAY FUCKING YAY HOLY YIPPEEEEEEEEEAHWHJDJXNSKDX YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA
It's time for sleep now and we go home tomorrow. this trip was genuinely insane but now that it's over I'm both drained and so so so happy. YES it was awkward and weird and just absurd, but it was also so fucking fun. I love my family even when they're dipshits. I love my cousin and can't wait to know him. This was The Best Day
