excluding my brother, i don't want to be connected to any of them

but it's the life i chose instead of accepting the one being forced on me. i gave my brother a decent future

So you are quite out of luck.

no subject
Almost as if you expect me to come back to you a second time.
no subject
i would never expect such a thing
