Thinking I need to get a new bottle of this cocoa butter lotion. It's starting to smell like actual butter.

He had sent texts saying he got on with her but didn't find her attractive.
So I was curious what she would look like.
When I saw her, there was those few seconds when I thought how unattractive she was and wondered what my brother was doing with her.
And then of course I said 'hello' and invited her in and got to know her and realized what a nice person she was. Funny, interesting and sweet.
Those 'first impressions' - don't know why I thought like that !

Just because I have been the rock to support this family for many years now without really breaking down in your faces doesn't mean I have no feelings. I am just.. so.. hurt and disappointed it's hard to even stop these tears from flowing out.

That's what family is for, isn't it. I am so sad and disappointed and for one who really doesn't like to use the word "hate" on people, it actually says a lot with me using it on you, dear brother. Over time, I can probably forgive. But this time, I know I won't forget. You hurt me. And you were supposed to protect me instead, big brother.
My dear niece whom I love, taught and protected. I always thought you had my back, but clearly you don't and that hurts so deep because of all the people in that little screwed up family of yours, I always thought you would be the person who would do me proud because I thought we had a bond and got each other. I am so hurt by you, little girl. Or not so little anymore.
Dear sister, you have no bloody right to comment when you do not even take responsibility over it and I had to clean up your mess there. You never thanked me, nevermind that, but you never even acknowledged it. And you had the cheek to say what you said. You have no... right.

That's not your fault, man...Most people put far more stock in first impressions than is warranted, as you have discovered. I do that, too. If it works out for your brother, then he is fortunate indeed.

I'm confused as to how it's not his fault. Don't get me wrong, he's entitled to think however he wants. BUT, his thoughts and actions will always be HIS fault. He is his own person and makes his own judgments and thoughts.
Even if you mean in terms of "oh society says I should think this way, so of course I must" (in other words, being a sheep), it would still be his fault because he CHOOSES to follow the shepherd leading the other sheep.
