Big Brother,

Big Brother, is an epistolary kinetic entry, where the narrator pens one last letter to an imaginary big brother, the one you never had, before saying goodbye. Whether created out of a need for support or loneliness, they now feel old enough, maybe strong enough, to let go of that childish creation. The one that gave them courage when they had none, comforted them when they felt low, celebrated them. The big brother they never truly had, but felt in their heart.

It is pretty emotionally charged, feeling like you’ve grown up enough to let things go, but still being anxious to do so, questioning whether you need to do so, removing that crutch you held on for so long. The yearning for good when all around is pain. And behind the metaphors and the “fancy” writing, vulnerability and maybe a bit of fear.

Soft prose under rugged feelings.
