Lost Sight, Found Strength

The path is so dark and dim, but Julie keeps walking. She is scared, yet her adrenaline makes her look back several times, urging her to walk faster with each step. She wonders why she can't move faster and then realizes it's just her thoughts getting wilder the longer she's on the road. She shouldn't have chosen this path—terrified and confused. She's already halfway through. It sucks. The only way is to adapt, over time. She has one more block, two more, and again she convinces herself it's just one more step to her destination. She's no longer afraid when she starts looking at the sky instead of the road. The evening feels scarier when it's right in front of our eyes, but when it's above, the stars are beautiful. The cold air on her skin feels warmer as her mind grows calmer. Gently, she realizes that she's no longer worried. In fact, she's arrived, in no time. -- I think loneliness comes from the mind. It's not about being surrounded ...

Do you know why it's hard to say goodbye? Because we afraid if our memories might not be able to remember them, rightly. The fact is, goodbye means good. No matter how hard.

What Cost Me

 I fell fast asleep.

Then, I heard birds chirping. Slowly I opened my eyes. I still feel heavy. But I can see around me. He fell asleep in the chair right next to the bed. I kept holding his hand all night.

He woke up.

"...water." I say.

He immediately helped me sit on the bed and he gave me a drink. I drank a lot of water. I smiled at him and he gave me another drink. I drank the water until it was gone.

"Alright. Enough."

"You're dehydrated. You need to drink a lot."

"How do you know?"

"I just know the doctor gave you a lot of medicine and you must be dehydrated. You need to drink a lot."

"Good." He gave me another glass of water. I drank it all over again.

"You drink it until it spills. Your lips are smudged...." he said. 

His hand touched my lips. 

We didn't know what we were doing.

Our faces were so close, we unconsciously kissed. I laughed and immediately pushed him, "Enough."

"No." He kept kissing me, "Not until you feel alright."

"I am."

"Are you sure?"

"I am, now."

He didn't speak and kept kissing me.

"Alright." He quickly got up and straightened his clothes. "I'm going back to my house."

"Of course. I'm sorry for making you stay here overnight."

"My parents will understand." he said. He walked backwards, "You should be fine while I'm gone."

"I will."

He walked out and opened the door. 

A man is there. 

He entered the room with the door open, just standing by the door.

"I heard you were sick last night." He said right in front both of us.

"Yes. My body was indeed weak last night." That was all I could say, "I got help and went back home."

"Yes, I can see it. How are you doing now?"

"I feel better."

"I'm glad to hear that. I'm thinking of extending my staying here."

"You are?"

"Yes. I hope we can still greet each other and see each other."

He left quickly without turning around. 

My heart hurts again. This heartbreak is killing me.

Now, there's nothing I can do. I am between two.

People thinking : Gay

 “Hey, no judgment, all God’s children, it’s fine! I was gay once for a while, no big deal. We all do it, it’s okay.” – Olive’s Dad from Easy A. I hate to find people to be gay because it's wrong. People murder also wrong. People do many mistakes. I'm not supporting them, I hate their wrong dos. But, it doesn't mean we should hate the people. So, Easy A really break down the whole issues and I appreciate it. How Olive's Dad mentioned the issue was really enlightened. So, what should we do? Telling gay is wrong, but no being mean.

Kelly's Night

Kelly's night was really weird. She saw a man has another man as his lover and wouldn't let him go. She was kind a jealous because he's so romantic with that man. Those two just didn't want to get separated. Later, she went to many places with the two. Like, looking at exhibition. Her mind got distracted. Until, that man's lover went leave the two alone. Kelly didn't realize she's alone with the man, instead she's been focus on a painting. Like in a room, on a bed there's a man, half naked with jeans, put his one warm hand on his own stomach and other looking at a phone. It's like a gesture of seeing a screen, but he seems happy and chat. Like a video call. There's something about deep love the person in that painting by giving that look. And, somehow Kelly heard someone's talking. That man was standing all the time next to her. He asked about what she was seeing in the painting. It was something else. Something else that put the man ...
