Features: Life to me is an endless wandering of the soul. I have loved, felt, struggled, possessed and lost, been chaotic and clear-headed. The traces of these experiences are etched in these words. This is my own writing, a collection of fragments over ten years, documenting an authentic self that I don’t want to pretend to be. I always believed that some things are worth remembering, even if they are wounds, hidden pains, unrestrained, or laughable fantasies. This serves as my shallow comfort. The banquet of life is over, and the remaining hours I hope to spend with a quiet self. Perhaps life can be chosen, but fate cannot be changed. If so, let me submit to fate and make peace with solitude.
