I’ve been thinking a lot lately.

Actually not that much.

But, I’ve been thinking of ways to better the relationships with my siblings.

I’ve thought of us playing games, me listening to their thoughts and ideas, supporting their dreams, and all that shit.

But, I find those things too hard at the moment.

I want to make something clear, we’re not estranged by any means.

It’s just that it’s a bit better if were closer since we’re the only ones we got.

We can’t rely on our parents no more. Mom’s dead and Dad’s been pretty neglectful.

So, I’ve been thinking about these plans and they sound too complicated and I don’t think they’ll work.

We’ve tried doing those activities, but they don’t usually last long.

We revert back to our original activities.

So, I tried to simplify it.

I determined what I know about my siblings.

We like everything in place.

We like things that are convenient and easy.

We like those things, but we can’t be bothered by the hassle.

We hate doing chores.

We don’t want to be bothered with.

We don’t want too much clutter.

Then, I got a simple weird idea.

Why don’t I just clean up our dishes every day regardless of amount and time of day?

Nobody wants to clean them.

Everybody finds it a hassle.

So, I did just that. I cleaned the dishes every day without complaint whatsoever.

It’s been one month since and our relationship with one another has gotten warmer than it’s used to in the past.

Probably, it’s just me.

But, hey! It’s working. I might as well continue for the upcoming months.
