In times of loneliness or happiness, who doesn’t like to share their feelings with everyone? Thus, loneliness fades as it is expressed, while happiness intensifies through sharing. The storms of reality are too harsh, forcing us to hide our bodies and souls behind layers of masks. What people show to the outside world is often a face adorned with a mask, as their hearts are shrouded in increasingly thick darkness, suffocating them and leaving them with no escape. In such moments, venting becomes the best choice.
Traditional venting usually follows this pattern—finding a suitable place and the right person to talk about fitting topics. However, such venting is highly dependent on the setting and the audience. Without a beautiful environment or a patient listener, the experience can become gloomy and drawn-out. The listener may grow impatient, while the speaker, though eloquent, lacks applause and guidance. In the end, the one venting becomes even more sorrowful, and the one grieving grows deeper in sorrow. Even when sharing happiness and joy, the experience loses its flavor, gradually eroding the joy and happiness. Such venting not only fails to achieve its purpose but may even backfire.
When the internet emerged, people burdened with inner frustrations finally found another way to vent, another outlet for their souls. Anyone could freely express their emotions without restraint. And the listeners were countless, actively engaging with words, either agreeing or disagreeing, sympathizing or mocking—diverse and genuine, unlike the and hypocrisy of real-world listeners. Stripping off the mask of reality and donning the cloak of the internet, we can record our true selves in a virtual world. Under the harsh truth of reality, they must hide their true selves, but in the virtual world, we can be fearless.
Loved, hurt. Left, thought. Parted, scattered. Done, forgotten. Recording love, pain, separation, and thoughts in words, venting our joys and sorrows. On the internet, no one knows who you are. You can set aside the heavy burdens of reality and express yourself freely. After pressing the last Enter key, take a deep breath and retreat behind the screen, pour yourself a cup of rich coffee, and wait for the listeners to take the stage.
Such venting is effortless and natural, without the need for pretense or affectation. Such words need not be beautiful—just expressive, just real. Such emotions, though shared in solitude, are not lonely, nor unbearable. At this moment, you begin to be your truest self. You need not care about the opinions or feelings of the listeners—everything belongs to you, whether in joy or sorrow.
Navigating the internet, you come across others' words that resonate with your emotions, and naturally, you pause to feel your own existence in their confessions, even taking a turn as a listener. once said: "In a long life, joy always appears and fades swiftly—the most beautiful moments are the ones that pass the fastest. Joy is too fleeting, slipping away unnoticed." By recording it on the internet, you can revisit those long-lost words when sorrow strikes, reliving past joys and seeing the friends who once shared them. Thus, sorrow fades, and joy surges anew.
