The Thing I Used to Love

I have an empty head while writing this. Why am I doing this? 
My dear Magnolia, i like my shadow. It always seems better than me.
It's me, but not me at all. Pretty funny, isn't it?

Actually, my magnolia, I'm a little lonely.
Aren't we all are?
I'm a little sad because remembered the meaning behind my name.
What about you? Is there something that you thought was nothing but when you think about it, it makes you sad?

I supposedly have a brother.
But he died at 2, a tragic short story.
My family grieved after that.
For years.
He's loved, let me tell you that.

And I was born.
Ending all the grieved my parent had.
They showering me loves so I don't sick.
But with that, i feel guilty for having my parent's love.
So I want to be a good sibling to my sister.
I don't want to bother her, I love her so much.

But I knew that my love will never be received.
Because it's not the same love from my parent.
But sister, our parent love you too. So much.
I hope she will receive my love, really.

It's dramatic, isn't it?
Magnolia, I love my name. Really.
I love it even more when I knew it's about my brother.

Because since I was a child, I was told about how great he is as a child.
And I also think so, if I were a parent and have a child like him, how happy I would be?
Losing him was probably like a small apocalypse for my mom. 

I used to think so.
I love my name because of my brother that i never see.
But now? I can't say so without thinking about it twice.

You know, parent usually give their children a name that they hope about.
But what about me?
My name means Aura [Brother]
Am i supposed to love it now?
It's burdening me.

A lot of negative what if filled my head.
And I got tired because of it.

I'm tiring myself because of these thoughts.
Funnily enough, I can't stop it.
So I just let it fill my head and cry.
Cry, cry, and cry.
Until all of my tears dried.

Because I'm just a shadow of my own.

And funnily enough, I can't hate it.

Spring to You

Hello, Ars here! It's my first time writing something like this, you can tell because of my awkward writing. I'm here because I want to share things I never tell a soul, you can say because I want to keep it a secret or just because I'm a coward. I want to share or discuss to my heart content, I'm truly happy when I do this. My little heaven. Is it spring for you there? How does it feel? People usually use the word 'spring' as if someone is falling in love. Is it spring for you? Are you in love right now? Or are you feeling chilly right now? Either way, it's good.  Are you falling in love again? Are you having a broken heart right now? My little Magnolia, how's this spring for you? For me, I don't really feel anything. Is it because my country has a tropical climate? I want to feel it too. I envy you, for those who feel loved this spring. Don't get me wrong, I know that family love is another kind of love. But, to feel treasure but not like famil...
