I don't know why do people say 不在乎天长地久, 只在乎曾经拥有. For me, its just a comforting afterthought to help you to get over split milk. Its like when I was not introduced to an iphone, I led a perfectly happy and contented life, but now if I had to revert to my criminal Panasonic, I would feel horribly maimed.
What so good about 曾经拥有 when all it leaves you with is a feeling of inadequacy or a constant need to find something better to fill in the gapping hole?

Interstates and old songs / Like time they go on and onHow many times do you wanna break my heart? (And how many times do I wanna let you?)
Anyways, "I sometimes suspect that half our difficulties are imaginary and that if we kept quiet about them they would disappear" (Robert Lynd).
How do I say "I am depressed tonight" without sounding stupid? haha.

I don't like the say things that makes people sound wrong even if I know I'm right. I like to pepper my words with maybes, perhaps, I thinks. And maybe (here we go again) thats why people dont take me as seriously as I think they should. Its not their fault, its mine.

And I thought the day would end quite beautifully with a nice long walk home after a nice not too long day, but once again, you start to sing your way home and the birds all begin to excrete on you. So here's another lesson to say never think your day is perfect until you fall asleep (without 5 different upset stories running through your head). As a wise man (in disney's mulan) once said, "a single grain of rice can tip the scale" so you never know when something (like a london pigeon) comes flying smack into your face and send the smug sense of accomplishment sprawling.
Maybe I can just add "I don't give a shit" here but obviously that's not entirely true because I will spend 1/5 of the night being consumed by "I don't give a shit" thoughts.
There are some things that loses their value the moment we have to ask for it. But so happens that majority of us like to "play and pretend/ to keep me here".

"i can don't care about you/them/this/that one you know" is a terrible way to guilt trip people. (I suspect sometimes I do it too I promise to stop) Because if you dare reply "er okay then don't", it's akin to saying "you may think you're being kind but really you're being stupid" and asking for an immediate 翻脸 situation (and since I'm no stranger to that maybe I should just go for it).

Wtf is " Y U No"? For example, math homework (and wtf is with the addressing of inanimate objects) Y U no do yourself? Firstly, y in replacement of why and u in replacement of you is already really ugly. Secondly, "why you no" is completely cringe worthy. Thirdly, is this is nowhere near cute, emo or cool.

It's the heart afraid of breaking , that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give.The point being?

忠孝东路走九遍
脚底下踏著曾经你我的点点
我从日走到夜
心从灰跳到黑
我多想跳上车子离开伤心的台北
忠孝东路走九遍
穿过陌生人潮搜寻你的脸
有人走的匆忙
有人爱的甜美
谁会在意擦肩而过的心碎?
I really don't know why I like this song the way I do.

May be surrounded by, a million people I still feel all alone, I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know.
In a perfect world, I would be married to Michael Bublé instead of feeling sore in bed surrounded by a pile of dirty laundry that I simply must do otherwise I might have to end up rewearing my sports bra like today.
A lot of work cut out for me in term of injury management and I must say I lost all drive to ice/stretch/strengthen about 4 months ago. Okay yes, I will stop whining about all my baby injuries because I think I'm too blessed with a coach who bought me hot pink insoles after work and has one very deep set caring eye on me.

If not for Wing I won't be playing rugby, I won't be so happy with rugby and I won't feel this blissful tonight. I know some athletes consider playing a sport for any external factor as being highly unprofessional, but firstly, I don't consider myself an athlete and secondly, unless you are Xuerong (who is really too funny to reject), take your elitist attitude to someone who cares.

I'm a firm believer of Lou Holtz's “It's not the load that breaks you down - its the way you carry it” and so I must be doing something wrong because my back is completely breaking.
Anyway I originally wanted to say something along the lines of the universe wanting to see how much I can bend before I break but then a nice out of the blue message kicked my sorry ass out of my ditch of self-pity and I shall be content with saying, very much neutrally, that I miss the you I used to know. (Its not that the you now is any less likeable, I think its just cause I don't know you anymore.)
At least for now, my laughter isn't complete just yet.
We need to hang out soon @estherunagi and @sylviahoj because I need an incomplete laugh soon, the HAHAHAHHAHAHA laugh-until-cannot-breathe, Laos-children-holding-fertilizer-aka-cow-dung-and-looking-completely-on-top-of-the-world kind of laugh.

"但不再期待，就不会害怕失去。但其实人生是：可以失去，才是快乐的 那代表你还有东西可以失去。"
This is the Chinese version of the "having a broken heart is good, it means you have tried for something" (something like this at least) quote that I posted and you forgot.
Wah I wish a handsome guy would teach me how to play the violin too.

The false sense that so many people care, the term to describe would be 装熟. Some people think I'm the queen of that, but you should put me to the test or You fully deserve Emilia's "you're so judgmental" face. But in your case, well I can easily call up multiple incidences to drive my point home. But don't worry, me being me, I'm still waiting for you to prove me wrong.

Should the question be "why on earth didn't you notice?" or "why on earth didn't I say?".
I am still traumatized by that one day I was walking up the slope by YIH and suddenly had to stop and bend over due to the acute pain in my back. I don't think I've ever been that scared, ever. And since then, back aches kill me mentally.
"You're the most beautiful woman I've seen.". (Well, you clearly haven seen many women in your life) And on that note, why do people take self shots that have no further purpose except to say "Look how chio I am!" when they do not belong in the palatable category. Not saying that they're ugly but those pictures should be reserved for the good looking and the rest of us should steer clear.

I've been putting life on pause while I put my drama on play so much so that I no longer can express what I feel and I'm no longer willing to figure out why I'm feeling certain emotions- why think when its so easy to immerse yourself in the tears of 7 other woman (and in the current show I am watching, each one cries about 5 times on average per episode)?
Repetition is a double edged sword- it can heighten or trivialize, depending mostly on the person receiving its effect. In this instance, you echoing my #teenageangst makes me feel like a joke- no, I don't want to have the same problems as you and yes I am unreasonably protective of my imagined unique identity (which is ironic as I am fragments of so many around me).
Uncharacteristically harsh, but some times, many times actually, people need to just shut up. I know I shoot my mouth off pretty consistently, but I would say I'm pretty honest and I openly accept the implication that my words hold. As such, yes, I do assume* certain things about your character when you say certain things that make little logical sense to me.
*To borrow the words of Marcus Aurelius, “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”. On this train of thought, if you can't 'know' every thing for certain, every thing is but an assumption. So while the quote by a certain teammate T*bicakes, "Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups" may be true, but I would also like to add that the number of fuck ups that results from assumptions is possibly not significant. We assume so many things in life just that we don't notice them until something goes horribly wrong. I guess we all have the responsibility to identify and prevent potential pitfalls, but I don't think its unreasonable to assume a range of things, for example my coach will come for training unless she informs otherwise.
Yet, my mantra is, when in doubt, ask (a trait often mistaken for being horribly kaypoh).
