friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
Changing Buford's Heart
Love is not a concept, it is an entity, who pursues us. Dr. Jerome Dean Late one night, on the fire escape of a four story building overlooking a moonlit alley somewhere in Chicago an old, black jazzman made mournful sounds with his saxophone. Its tones reverberated through the still and balmy air, bouncing off buildings and stirring the few souls that heard. Others inside watched TV, drank, or argued, or slept, or read. But the call was for those outside, listening. "Karuunna? Who is your neighbor?" asked the sorrowful music.

Lingering Heart
Who do you think you are? Stepping into a life so pure, changing perspective and expecting more. We were just friends who help each other grow, and now you live in my head wanting me to love you forever more—breaking me down from light to shadow, making me hate to love and the things that follow. Hurting in doses like a disease in transit, loving someone else now feels like roaches on the carpet.

Those unrepentant suffering in youth
There is a kind of suffering that is willingly and without regret. It is like a seed, rooted in the heart, the process of breaking through the soil when germinating is bitter, but the result of blossoming is sweet, it is military training.

A man, Detached...
A man, Detached Finding the extraordinary in the mundane has become the skill he values most. His initial journey was one set on fulfillment and seeking to obtain more, but just like most things, it evolved and grew into more. It now became a journey of spiritualization once believed to be unobtainable through contemporary means. With each passing day, the distance expands between him and the collective conscience. The collective conscience in this case is society and its structures. These same structures, which used to appear as boundaries for safety, now appear as bars for imprisonment.

It's good to have you on the way to growing up
An inch of time, an inch of gold, the teacher has said: an inch of gold can't buy an inch of time. --The caption "Students, class is over, go outside the classroom to listen to the sound of flowers blooming and breathe fresh air!" Listening to the familiar voice, I can't help but think: the voice is always so happy, doesn't know tired, doesn't understand the preciousness of this last moment! Only at this moment of graduation did I feel that the three years I had wanted to cherish so many times before had been squandered.

Life has a confidant, is enough
When I revisited my childhood once again, it dawned on me that childhood friendships are the most treasured. "Listening to the sleeping night, lonely and unoccupied street ......" the phone rang suddenly, but not in the hands of the "flying words", casually fished up the phone placed aside, the original is a text message, but the number is extremely strange, " I was about to throw the phone to the bed, but my eyes inadvertently swept the text message content: Ruby, hug for comfort. A line of seemingly incomparable childish words, but I moved a beat, my mind came up with doubts. The nickname between friends when they were young, a "stranger" how would know? After a few moments of confusion, I called the number: "Hello, who is this?" When I answered the phone, I couldn't wait to ask the question in my mind, and when I said the words, the phone was silent at the other end, just when I thought it was a prank from a friend who had nothing better to do than to eat, the other end came lightly with a name that crossed the century, making me extremely familiar and unfamiliar, when it came through the layers of obstacles between my ears, my hand shook, the phone directly The actual "fall" on the bed, a drop of tears of joy or sadness from my cheeks.

She smiled
The sunset gently shines, a few birds cut through the quiet sky, the sky a round of red sun is slowly descending, slowly the sky cloaked in a layer of light purple, but also dense with a lapel of light vine yellow, let people feel a little unreal. The city is frozen in time, and the bustle of the past has turned into a bubble. 2020, the sad year, terrible pneumonia swept in, and Wuhan has become an empty city. People are a bit more distant from each other.
