Edited English version based on the Chinese original. Read the Chinese original

This may be the most painful thing I have experienced since the college entrance exam. I slept and got up again, but after waking, I still felt that dull ache. If I had to describe it with a lyric, it would be: “A beautiful bubble, like fireworks that vanish in an instant.” Right now, G.E.M.’s song “Bubble” captures how I feel better than anything else. I can hear in it a pain like mine, one she went through years ago.

Today was actually incredibly full, and time seemed to stretch. Tomorrow is Sunday. It all feels a little dreamlike. Then again, what does not feel that way sometimes?

Made it this far? Say hello.

Something resonated, raised a question, or sounded wrong? I would like to hear it.
