Life

Narrow space, no wifi. Only the buzzling of air. 

First time binged watching videos at the altitude of 33999 feet. Every video has two ads that I accelerated. But not every video could play slowly till it stopped because I clicked the home button.

Movies, dramas, documentaries, music, games, intros... Forgot how many play button I've clicked. The most comfortable contents were with subtitles. Without subtitles they were just images flowing on my eye balls which beyond my conprehesion because my creative thinking was in bed though my eyes were opened, half-opened. 

On the subtitles, I saw something, something I can still recall 10 hours later. 

It feels different to listen to someone talking about the meaning of life up in the sky, in a language I could understand only by subtitles.

He told the story of Peter(Yes, PETER! BIG surprised randomly popped up even in the sky right?) to two widows in a remote village. When they heard Peter really said three times "No, I don't know him" as he was told at the dinner. The reactions on their faces gave the rebellious -him faith in humanity(well educated or not).

How rare it is for a famous pessimistic writer to make hope the theme. They saw in The Student.

Life has not changed since long long ago no matter who lived it. 

On the subtitles, three not-so-warm words define life, one of was difficulty. Yet, life can always lead to happiness.

Blue vs Red

-
Two officially compatible colors are running at your town. Who will win? The blue me or red you? The answer is easy—the one who loves more will win.  We love each other equally. The universe saw it. But what I'm loving? There's nothing there now, not a single word. The fact you enjoy being a stranger to me us is a hard fact I've learned to accept.

Aroma

At night, the aroma of Mama's food still lingered the air in the house, as if mom just cooked us a delicious meal as those countless old days. I waited for mom's call from the kitchen to ask us to eat, but no sound. I kept the light on as usual, I wrapped myself in the cotton blanket, I closed my eyes. "Mama", I whispered.   I was long for mung bean pastry, a snack I loved since the first time I ate. So I decided to make it from scratch. One important ingredient is the lard. I noticed a bowl of fatty meat in the freezer for a while. So I took it out, defrost it. When it was boiling in the water, a lot of garlic gloves and dried shrimps were separated into the water. The images of mom peeling garlic and adding spices to the meat flashed in my mind, I held the spatula to stir the meat, so that my tears wouldn't drop. Then a familiar aroma of Mama's food drifted in the kitchen. I thought of the days mom cooking in the kitchen, I breathed deeply, I felt safe in th...

O My Love

Just text me if you really miss me or just wanna know what's going on in my mind.  What's the point to see the not-updated website again and again, the site can't chat to you like an AI.  Maybe you're pursuing the ascetic traits, the endurance, the more suffering and void you face the more alive you feel. Like, pain is what I'm living for, headache is the only way for you to take a break from the numbness?  O, P, q, my love, I want to love you but you can't accept that love. I still remember the day I cried like crazy when I realised you needed to end it and the pain under my chest.  They say a couple should definitely visit a temple together once, if they break up after the visit, don't feel bad for it because you're protected. If no break up then the next step is to consider the long-term commitment.  We've visited a temple the first day we communicated in another language. I, you on my palms, we were in a temple. Is it counted as we are still toge...
