Being a little sibling is like. I know every song you've recommended me by heart. I'm scared of never living up to you. My favourite colour was your favourite first, but everything you like I am bound to like, too. I don't want your advice. The memories of you and I living in the same house are slowly fading and I'm scared we'll never live together again. I'm angry at you for moving out. There's nothing in the world you could tell me that would make me love you less. You're not the hero I always made you in my head. You're exactly the person I want to be. I'd use my chest as a shield for any bullet aimed at you. I get so sad when I realize I keep some things from you. You always show up when I have a concert and you’re always proud of how I played. I want to send you every poem that reminds me of you. I'm terrified you find me annoying. I sleep in your old shirts because they smelled like you once. If I were to lose you I would give up on life. I stole your pen when I was ten and still use it. Do you love me because I'm your little sister or because you genuinely like me? I wish you'd like the idea of getting matching tattoos as much as I do. The nachos you made me for lunch after school every week are still my favourite food. I wonder if you'd save your girlfriend instead of saving me if it came down to it. I would become a monster if you needed me to. Making you laugh is my favourite thing to do in the entire world. I cried when you invited me to your birthday party because I can go to bars now, too. I feel protective over you as if you were the younger one, not me. I often think I wouldn't blame Mum and Dad for loving you the most, I do, too. I wish we had more similar interests. I would love to go to Rome with you, or Venice. When you moved out I slept in your old bed for weeks. I hate that you always interrupt me. Mum says you'll love the Christmas present I got for you. I loved you before I could say your name. I count the times you've winked at me during dinner after making a joke that made Mum mad. You are my favourite person in the entire world. I miss you very much

We matter greatly and not at all. To reach some pinnacle of human achievement only to discover that your achievements are next to nothing and that to understand this is the greatest achievement of any life, which itself is nothing, and also much more than everything. Some metal separates us from the void; death is so close. Life is everywhere, everywhere.
—Samantha Harvey, Orbital
