Is He a Real Family Member?

I have something to confess, my cousin Thomas who lives in Denmark, is really starting to get on my last nerve because he never talks to anybody in my family. He is like this 21-year-old guy who is still acting like a freakin' teenager, that is just sad, he needs to grow up and grow some stupid balls, become a real man and suck it up.

The reason why I am thinking so negatively about my cousin is because, last year I traveled thousands of miles to a whole different country to see my family. But he just decides that he is too depressed to see my brother and I. I mean seriously, I haven't seen him since I was in fifth grade, and still he can't give away five freakin' minutes of his life to see two people that he hasn't seen in four years.

He is 21, and still he is acting like a teenager. I actually thought he was an emo, I mean the way he acted towards my family and I. He wouldn't even pick up the phone and dial in one number and call us. He wouldn't even write one little email, I mean he could at least have written "hi" so we would know he was alive.

If you are lucky enough to have a family, you should take advantage of it and show them that actually do love them and miss them. Some people are so unfortunate that they don't even have a family, they would probably give anything to get a real family. Some people just puts their kids up for adoption and don't even give a shit about them. That's why you really need to be happy and greatful with your family.

Someday I hope my cousin will understand that, I know I do. Sometimes I feel like he doesn't like us anymore, and maybe he didn't even care about the death of our grandpa. If you have that kind of thought in your head, that's a really harsh thought and I wish I didn't have to think about that or even write it.
