It took some time and a convo w/ my mom to get here to feel this way…
One of the kids who killed my brother was underage. He’s been in prison for almost a decade already and he’s going to serve a few more. But I know he can turn his life around and do good in this world.

I spent my youth as a member of a war machine that didn’t just kill one person, but hundreds of thousands of innocent people. So who tf am I to be all judgmental?
And I’ve spent every waking moment since trying to do good. It’s the least I can fucking do.

I watch these videos coming out of Iraq and Afghanistan and they make me sick to stomach for so many reasons.
And maybe it took seeing my brother’s bullet riddled body on a metal slab to realize the truly horrific shit we did overseas.
