the truth behind the name (and much more)

For the sake of updating, let me tell you the story behind my name (not that you want to know, but whatever, this is my blog)

My complete name is Nina Linly Dionisio Capulong.

Nina
"This name coincides with the Spanish word niña meaning little girl"
When my dad was courting my mom, instead of love letters, he would send her drawings. I remember one drawing that my dad showed me, it was of a little girl and had many names around it "harper" "nina". My dad knew that my mom was going to have a girl, therefore, they named me Nina meaning "little  girl". Due to this, my parents always tell me "No matter how big you are and how grown up you'll be, you'll always be our little girl. (uyy cheesy)

Linly
Now, this is very interesting.
My dad once had an older sister named Linly. My dad said that I had her eyes and act very much like her. Unfortunately, she died when she was my age. My dad said that he sees her in me. Tita Linly had a talent for writing; I remember my dad saying that she liked to write poems. One particular line that was written on her tombstone was "love is everything we see"

I didn't understand this line at first, then after one too many walks and one too many movies, I realized that love is everything we see and everything we feel. Love is the people around us, the way that they do their best to keep you happy. Love is may also be in our enemies, in our flaws, and how to accept these things. Love is in the air around us, we can;t see it, but we can feel it. Love is everything we see and everything we feel.

I may be too young to be in love and understand this, but thank you, Tita Linly for this message.

Love is loving your name no matter how many people spell it wrong -_-
