Toast

A long-term friend is precious, because a part of the younger you stayed in her memory, help you have a picture of who you were long time ago.

"Just thought of you when I ate these sea salt toast." A new message popped up, from a college friend. We caught up a bit. She's still enthusiastic as always, asking me to visit her town, where I graduated. "I haven't been there for ten years, just wonder if there are some big changes." I replied. She said yes, a lot has changed.

I was surprised to know I was a toast-fan in her memory. Then I recalled how recently I'm addicted to eat bread raw, without anything else added. But I didn't remember I loved toast since I was in college. Yet some clues emerged, further, before we headed to another twon every weekend, mom prepared two big loaves of uncut pillow-toast for the trip. That soft and super stretchy texture, a bit salty, nothing more. Two flavours were available, salty and sweet, I always prefer the salty one. Some food remained in childhood, that bakery lasts until now but they don't sell that toast anymore.

I saw many tutorials about thousands ways to eat different breads, from sandwiches, burgers, wraps to salads, but I barely tried, I don't know why. Maybe I don't want other stuff cover the original taste of wheat.

Can't Hold Back

My Tears. I gotta cry, now. How many times? How many times have I told you to not cry when you thought of him? Look what you've done today! I warned you to hold back the urge to drop that broken pearl necklace from your eyes. Look what you're doing now! Crying your fucking heart out the same as that day in the city where you two met? You're not even in that town now! 10000km away from where you met. 188438400 seconds have passed since that day!  Allow me cry for ten minutes please, then, I can continue to numb my mind by the endless trivialities. Physical pain is the cure to that invisible yet so much more painful chat in my mind.

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...
