19-20

The world is really not doing so well.

I used to distance myself from any political matter, rarely talked about politic. However, since the debate on the extradition law in Hong Kong last year along with all the dark sides and conspiracies, I was not able to stay passive. Instead, I became a more outspoken about my points of view on all the issues.  And i strongly believe that, for those who support or even act on those corrupted policies, they will pay a huge price. I will keep being patient and wait for that day.

I have a great respect towards all the youngsters who are so brave and willing to step up to fight for what they deserve for their future.  When I was the same age of them, I prob did not even know the sense of "future".  I did what I had to do anyway.  

After not working for full-time over a year, I started back on track with a full-time job a couple of weeks ago. The salary is not that appealing, but the opportunity for me is there, I just have to pick up on a lot of new stuff.  Interestingly, I do not feel the pressure that I used to have when I started working in a new environment.  Dose it mean I finally become a real "grown-up"? Haha...Again, I just need to be confident.

Last year was not the best year anyway, I guess I was just lacking of luck when it came to encounter with people relationship. When I strove to be honest and transparent and kind, I got betrayal in return. All these circumstances kinda discouraged me from believing in myself.  Everyday I battled with myself. The stronger I was, the weaker I became. The weaker I was, the stronger I became.  I have no idea what I am talking about actually. well, who cares, I'm just doing whatever needs to be done.

With all the experiences I had in the last two years, I came to realize that I have a lot of angers, gladly the positive side of me did not allow me to act upon it, which I found myself was quite rational in a way. I still love being nice to others.  Don't get me wrong, my anger is not about hating others, it is more on the things that happened. 

In case I might even forget, I revealed one thing that I did not know for my whole life until last year. It was quite emotional, a bit depressing. I found out that I was once almost being in place where I probably would not have known the people I have had in my life, literally. Probably just one small critical steps away.  It did really break me. 

What am I really living for...? 
Sigh....life is very interesting but very ironic as well. Still, my mission and my study in the U.S. are the things that keep me going, because I learned so much and was loved. And I got to discover the raw and authentic side of myself.  I am very appreciated for any of those who came across in my life during those periods of time. Probably I am only able to put up a real and true smile when I look at those pictures and remember those moments of being there with the people. Thank you! Thank you for being in my life!

July 2019

二O一九年六月三十曰,就像是新工作試用期的最後一天,期待七月會是什麼?
畢竟七月應該是一種希望吧,難道夏天也會有彷彿..... 

電視開著,不看得見一點希望,色盲變了一種疾病,唯有離開。
藍光投影,卻迷上了一種毒藥,原來真實也會淪陷,沒有忍耐。

平淡無聊,當海洛英遇上了可卡因,一個人已上癮了。
捱不過慢鏡拍下的五天,氣數早已盡,週末未能狂想 ; 
但其實剩下那半杯水也不容許一丁點遐想!

沒有旅遊鐵塔,唯有造夢能才能啟航,
或許可試著不需裝備飛上那279米的觀景台,
或許會明白那悠久的歷史,
但只怕那過期的安眠藥也不施捨一秒鐘的入睡。

二O一九年七月廿九日,
逃離不了明天第三十日的來臨,
遺忘了的那張黑膠唱片仍是會跳線吧!
只能怪,在這黃金時代去選擇相信所謂的古董,還是有它的價值。

別人說,世上最奢侈的禮物是陪伴,
卻無情地送給了自己這份心意,在密紋上跟那顆微塵振動。

二O一九年七月廿九日。
七月沒有書籤,十一月或許也被淘汰。

時間,應總會帶着日子去到美好的位置。奢望。等待。

The beginning of 2019

Wow! It has been a long time since I wrote on this blog! I almost forgot about this blog till someone who had read it last month and told me about it.

I guess I did not do too bad in the last ten years, finally got my bachelor degree, enjoyed a very great time in the States, traveled many places for work and for pleasure, and started having a bit progress on my career path.

Last year I was such a mess, I lost the passion toward so many things, almost everything. My job consumed me, I lost so much precious time for myself, my friends and my family. It was a very scary time. It ended up I made many poor decisions. However, I was still very satisfied for what I achieved in my career, the job got me to explore myself to the market in a way that people do know me in the industry, gained some good people connection. This year I have been picking up a bit more, I won't say I am there yet, but at least I think I am progressing.

About two months ago, I had a very interesting experience which helped me to gain back my emotion and passion toward life in general. I am grateful and thankful for what have happened!

P.S. Um...who still use blogger? Anyway, To random people who get the chance to read my blog, thank you for your time!

When I Saw Her Again

I was shaking; I was feeling like I could not breathe.

I did not expect that she came and talked to me right away, with her daughter.
It was not the approach I would have thought, especially when the time I was trying to deal with my mind about seeing all the people in church today.

I was not ready to say anything back to her. I was scared. I was somewhat acting cold.
After the entire awkward, at least to me, I felt bad. I did not think anyone around cared that much though. It looked just fine for the entire social setting because I was surrounded by many people.

I was not a gentlemen. I let that moment passed by.

However, I was so regret for the way how I acted. That self-blamed thought was slowly swallowing me, and gradually.

That I began to realize, that wound caused by her has never been healed. It was five years ago.

It was the strangest feeling I have ever had. 

When I saw her face, all the flash back memories was about the time we had in the past.
I thought I was over her, all kinds of feeling, it was not about love, but, literally, the feeling. The bitterness. Or more than that, something which I did not know how to comprehend.

It is almost the end!

So sick, I feel so gross!
I cannot even figure out if it is because of my depression or just the fact of going back to Hong Kong that makes me so sick.

People keep asking me about my flight schedule, but I have never been able to give anyone a firm answer.
I do not have any motivation to get my ticket at all.  Many days I could just sit in my apartment, but I still did not choose to spend even just a few minute to look it up.

Last night, I was evaluating the true happy moments in my life. The first thing came to my mind is the two-year mission in Provo, Utah. The second thing was the time I went to school in BYU-Idaho. And then the third thing was my 15 or 16 birthday, it was because it was the only time my family came together and celebrated my birthday in my life. We ate seafood with hot pot style, and no one caused any argument. I still remember my smile when I went to bed that night.

Yeah, I did not have much good time there at home, Hong Kong.
I am scared of going back. I am old, but I have to start over and build up everything again.

I will miss all my friends here in United States like crazy.
I will miss all my moments.
I will miss all my emotions.
I will miss all my feelings.

I am sadly asking myself, "Why do have to always be separated from those I love?"

Robin, we never knew what you were going through at that very moment

A lot of news highlight was about the dead of Robin Williams.

Certainly, he was a great actor, brought us a lot of good memories.

I don't have any special connection with him. However, the depression he might had, is like a sign of reminding me about my sickness.

I want to know what happened during that critical moment, so that I can know how to avoid it.

Please show your affection and love to those who are suffering.

Finally, I start doing something new!

Today, I finally made up my mind and to do something new, which allowed me to freely express whatever in my mind as a baby step.

I am very tired of a lot of things in my life. I want to be free, I want to reach my potential, I want to exercise my creativity, I want equality for everyone, I want this world to be a judgement free place.

I was afraid of not being good enough to draw, even thought I already bought a box of color pastel (hard).
Around two to three weeks later, yes, here I am, I start my first piece tonight.

I did it! I really don't care if others think it is good or not, what matter the most is, I start learning to feel what I feel!

Also, I have been thinking about giving up this blog and start a whole new one!
I want to do something bigger and greater! Probably the theme will be called "Purple Project/Campaign".

No one deserves to be sad! Everyone can be a happy person! And I wanna help!

Monday

Monday is not fun!
It is not fun when you sleep 22 hours on Sunday, then you wake up at about 4 p.m. on Monday morning thinking about if you want to stay all the way to work, or try to fall back in sleep again.

It just happened.

In this 22 hours, I had two main nightmares, one of them was about being back to home.
I was on my bed at home, very hot, I was sweating, looking at the ceiling. I did not feel like I was belonging there at all. That was dark, bitter, and helpless.  No matter how positive I have been trying about going home, it seems like I can never kick these feelings away. They are eating me from inside out. I am not happy.

That was one of the lowest moments. I had so many mixed feelings. So many times I did not know if I was even true to myself. That could be very scary when I did not know if I was lying to myself or if I was telling the truth to myself which I did not even want to hear.

Can it be not that scary?

"Fear is powerful, but faith is stronger!" I heard this on Sunday a week ago. I have fear of my feelings, like how I feel about my life. I do even have doubt on these so-called feeling, faith is even harder to be defined.

Tomorrow is Tuesday......what next......!

Sometimes, I just want to say, "I am not okay! I am not good! I am not alright! I am so scared! Can I not carry on!"
