漢城嘅夜色同香港有好多相似嘅地方，一樣係華燈璀璨；然而，璀璨嘅係燈光，唔係星光。某啲夜晚當我揸車入漢城時，由自由路駛向內部循環路嘅方向遠望，你會見到首都圈內一片燈火通明，照到整個天都係粉紅色。當車經過南大門，無論喺上南山嘅方向定係往江南嘅方向，建築物嘅射燈同街燈…
She says she wants to go do something but it just doesn’t excite you

Kris Gage very well said and explained. I wanna ask how can we set boundaries with the one we love the most. Its not like clinging to someone but its about the one who we care the most and we wanna be with them yet they are not that much developed to understand such deep emotions. Its easy to state something but when we get into relations we can’t just state these are my boundaries i am not going outside of them.

Last month, I had a special experience. It feels both precious and fragile, and I feel a bit like how I imagine a new mother would feel. I want to tell everyone about this amazing thing that happened, and I also want to keep it nestled safely close to me until I’m sure it’s real. I’m so proud…

This is one of the best articles about breakups i have ever read. As a dumpee, you never really think about how the other person felt. Only that they are monsters and probably never cared, or weren’t as invested as you are.

You are truly blessed to have had a grandma like that. She sounds amazing. It’s so important to let people know they matter.

Let’s assume that this word reaches its target to say the following: there is a hope. The IS a hope. When you see a lot of energy glittering all over networks: there is a hope. When a person steps out and tells the truth: there is a hope. When justice is made, there is a hope. When life is saved or birth is given: there is a hope. Bless you all by your gods, love.

I understand that fear. When I released my first book to the world my greatest fear was that someone would actually read it. But I knew my story matter so I “did it afraid” and published anyway. I’m so glad I did because my story has changed lives and if I’d hidden or recoiled in fear those lives wouldn’t have been touched.

I’ve noticed that writing to me has much to do with emotion and feeling at a given time.
I would associate the pause in my writing, over the past few months, with a busy schedule, generally happy days and less of a sense of loneliness. Moods, however, are always changing.
