“Hey bro, I know we don’t usually talk like this, but I want you to know I’m here for you for literally anything. I don’t know what you’re going through, but I want you to know that I love you and I care about you and anything you’re going through, you’re not alone. I may not ever be able to fully understand what you’re experiencing, but I will support you no matter what, and I never want you to hesitate to talk to me.”
