The first time i told my little brother 'I'm proud of you'... he cried.🥹

My little brother’s 14. Quiet kid. Always in his room. Never really talks unless it’s about anime or football. He’s never been top of the class, never been picked first for anything. A few weeks ago, I noticed he was drawing a lot. Like... a lot. Pages everywhere. At first, I didn’t say anything. But then I looked closer they were good. Like proper manga-style sketches with emotion and shading. I walked in his room the other day while he was drawing. I just said, “You’re seriously talented, you know. I’m proud of you.” He didn’t say anything. Just stared at me like he didn’t believe it. Then his eyes went glassy. And he said, “No one’s ever said that to me before.” Bro. That hit different. All I’m saying is: if you’ve got someone in your life doing something cool, even if it’s small... tell them you see them. You never know what it means.
