I need reasonable advice...?

I get where you're coming from. My cousin and I were very close but I hardly keep in touch with her now. She messages me from time to time and brings it up. But I just never really seem to think about talking to her. And I know she feels upset when I don't. I would suggest maybe trying to keep in touch more often. My cousin thinks of me as one of her bestfriends and we talk about everything wheneve we do talk. Your cousin loves you. You're family. And it's because you're family that he cares so much for you. He wants to be able to talk to you about things you're going through. When I have no one else, it's always my cousin who understands what I'm going through. She never puts me down or lectures me when I rant and ramble about problems. And when she has problems I do the same. It brings you together and you grow a strong bond. I hope that somewhat helps (:
