The Book of Siblings by Lala Bohang [Buku Gramedia Digital]

 

 
    Finished reading the black one, The Book of Forbidden Feelings at July 17, and this was my favorite :
I want to grow up but my soul
doesn't seem to be very excited about it.
Maybe she's lying.
She's just a soul.
One day she says, "Get up, lazy cat! You have
to live your day proud and loud!" but another
day she whispers, "So tired, can we just stay
at home all day, call in sick, write an ugly poem,
and be busy being invisible?" I can't control her.
I'm just a body.
She's the thinker.
She's so inconsistent and always
has this thirst for attention
and celebration for herself.
She makes me busy seeking for distractions.
She never counts me in her future plans, she's
too busy shouting meaningless motivational
sentences or killing my confidence
in a very low whisper, like wind in
December, "You're not good enough."

I forgot how I discover Lala Bohang, but I followed her social media since long time a go. I sometimes retweeted her thought on twitter that I found really amusing and  I can relate with. I bought selfie(sh) book because she was one of the author there, but I actually not really understand her work in selfie(sh), title : Susah Payah Mati Di Malam, well maybe I need to re-read that again. I love her art style it's mysterious and unique.

And seeing her works on Gramedia Digital, so I bought three of them. Yay so happy. I personally love reading book written in English it helps me to discover new words and vocabulary.
