Time (1)
Time is linear. While I studied this way before, it took me more than a decade to fully understand. When I came to China, I deleted all my accounts and cut off most of the people I knew. This wasn't an act of refinery or detoxification, but more like me trying to isolate a certain period of my life and remove it from that line.
Still, after two years of living here, flashbacks to that era come and go. No matter how hard I did push to forget about it, there's an obvious blueprint that shadows the way I live now. What am I trying to do? Probably just accept the failure of this experiment and live with it. Hopefully things will turn better than the expectation this time.
