❝There is a universal truth we all have to face, whether we want to or not, everything eventually ends. As much as I’ve looked forward to this day, I’ve always disliked endings. Last day of summer, the final chapter of a great book, parting ways with a close friend. But endings are inevitable. Leaves fall. You close the book. You say goodbye. Today is one of those days for us. Today we say goodbye to everything that was familiar, everything that was comfortable. We’re moving on. But just because we’re leaving, and that hurts, there’s some people who are so much a part of us, they’ll be with us no matter what. They are our solid ground. Our North Star. And the small clear voices in our hearts that will be with us, always.❞

i don’t really know why
but i decided to listen to all of the songs on my ipod
the whole 1500 of them
i skipped most of them, of course
but, i don’t know, it was pretty interesting flicking through all of my music
i tend to hoard songs, so i had a range of like, old kpop songs to british indie pop
and then there was the jap screamo from year eight
and there were a lot of songs i kept since year five
and i wouldn’t be caught dead listening to them now
but it was nice listening to it all again
and there was all of the stuff from last year
like the vocaloid and the k-on songs
i still loved them all, but i just hadn’t listened to them for awhile
and it reminded me of last year
and even though it wasn’t that far back
it felt like ages ago
and i don’t know, i feel like i was younger back then
like i had more energy
i was more stupid
i’m still stupid now but
it kind of made me sad remembering everything last year
how i was all hopeful for everything and
i hated the obnoxious, naive, silly, dumb little girl that i was
still am
i don’t know
the fluorescent lights and watching anime non-stop
and curling up near the heater
and the small rooms
i miss it all but
i don’t really want to go back there
and i don’t really want to stay here either
last sunday we visited my grandmother for her birthday
i can’t really
explain
the feeling i had when i was there
i wasn’t feeling sad or worried
i was glad to see my grandmother again but
i wasn’t exactly happy
i don’t really know how to explain it
but i had this feeling in my chest
and something didn’t feel right
seeing the frail figures sleeping on the arm chairs
and hearing somebody badly sing to the beatles on the television
the way an old man’s hand would tremble as he tried to eat a sponge cake
and to see the tears in my grandmother’s eyes when we came to visit her after so many months
and she would try to talk to me in hokkien
and i could only nod and smile until she realised
that i didn’t understand a single thing that she was saying
and she would look down and continue to eat her birthday cake
after all that i finally realised
how terrible and scared i really was
how i never tried to connect with the people who mattered
how i was so frightened of growing up
growing old
growing alone

i tend to
abhor my past
fear my future
and disregard the present
and because of that
i’m stuck
