My little princess
The day when my eldest younger sister, Karen found out I broke up with my ex-gf, she sent me a two DIY cards and a little note with article clipping. Today I received it, still warm and well.

I swear if she ever wants to get into the custom-cards-designing business, hallmark would have to start closing their Gifts and Cards franchise. She has always painted the life of others with such combination of vibrant colors that sometimes it is so easy to overlook the subtleness of the way she applies the brushes and sketches. Despite being the eldest among all siblings, I am the one who always screw things up, yet she would gently pick me up from behind, without ever making me feel its something I should be ashamed of. Yeah I know, I have no idea how lucky I am. And here’s the aching part - I dont think I ever really be there for her, for the goods and bads. This is as sad as it sounds as a truth.

She gives totally-out-of-the-world advices - she started by wishing me ‘hi, 分手快樂’ in her latest cards. I had always wanted a llittle brother when I was little. Having 4 younger sisters can sometimes makes you go ARGGGGHHHHHHHH (in font size 72 pixels). Think 4 sopranos singing at the exact same time.

Yet they are all angels in my heart and it didnt take me long to realize that.

So this time I am going to take these few words from her and keep them inside the little pocket of my rotten heart so try not to forget how to apply it on my next painting. Which is how I’ve been painting all this while, only with a little bit more of her subtleness the next time.
