Reality.
“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” - Dr Seuss
I remember a time like that.
Loved.
“It makes me feel powerful, string, desired, and loved—loved by this captivating, complicated man, whom I love in return with all my heart. He pushes harder and harder, his breathing ragged, losing himself in me as I lose myself in him.”

Fool.
A book in my hand. A cat in my bed. A void in my heart.

Promiscuous sharing.
“Every form of happiness is private. Our greatest moments are personal, self-motivated, not to be touched. The things which are sacred or precious to us are the things we withdraw from promiscuous sharing. But now we are taught to throw everything within us into public light and common pawing. To seek joy in meeting halls. We haven’t even got a word for the quality I mean—for the...
Humiliation.
“He knew that his absence bound her to him in a manner more complete and humiliating than his presence could enforce. He was giving her time to attempt an escape, in order to let her know her own helplessness when he chose to see her again. She would know that the attempt itself had been of his choice, that it had been only another form of mastery. Then she would be ready either to kill him...
Love at first sight
“She saw his mouth and the silent contempt in the shape of his mouth; the planes of his gaunt, hollow cheeks; the cold, pure brilliance of the eyes that had no trace of pity. She knew it was the most beautiful face she would ever see, because it was the abstraction of strength made visible. She felt a convulsion of anger, of protest, of resistance–and of pleasure. He stood looking up at her;...
Remind me again.
“I have, let’s say, sixty years to live. Most of that one will be spent working. I’ve chosen the work I want to do. If I find no joy in it, I’m only condemning myself to sixty years of torture. And I can find the joy only if I do my work in the beat possible way to me. But the best is a matter of standards—and I set my own standards. I inherit nothing. I stand at the end of...
What should I do?
“She wanted Tengo to hold her in his arms, to caress her with his big hands. She wanted her whole body to feel his warmth, to have him stroke her from head to toe and warm her up. I want him to take away this chill I feel in my body’s core. Then I want him to come inside me and stir me with all his might, like a spoon in a cup of cocoa, slowly, to the very bottom. If he would do that...
Domestic
Her: What was that kiss for?
Him: I don't know. I just love how… domestic… we are right now.
The Art of Furnishing
“Tables and chairs, beds, mirrors, a clock to remind the happy couple of the passage of time, an armchair for an hour’s pleasant daydreaming, carpets to help the housewife keep the floors clean, linen tied with pretty ribbons in the cupboard and dresses of the latest fashion and hats with artificial flowers, pictures on the wall, glasses for everyday and others for wine and festive...
愛
＂愛，絕不是缺了就找，更不是累了就換。找一個能一起吃苦的，而不是一起享受的；找一個能一起承擔的，而不是一起逃避的；找一個能對你負責的，而不是對愛情負責的。愛不是一個人的事，而是兩個人的努力，兩個人的奮鬥，兩個人的共同創造。＂

Give me time.
One day, too, I will stop caring.
Why don’t you just take this knife and stab me right here, right in the heart? Please, because I don’t have the guts to do it.
“Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.”

Chinese New Year.
As a teenager, I wished I didn’t have to visit all those relatives I only meet once a year during the Chinese New Year. I haven’t celebrated CNY for two years now. This festival has always been about my grandparents, and now they’re no longer here. If I could have them back again, I would gladly visit any relative who would have me. On this night of reunions, their absence is so...
