The problem with the Arts.
I should’ve studied the sciences if I wanted more definite answers. Although, amongst them, uncertainties exist. I’ve lived. I’ve traveled. Across the globe, here I am. Searching for answers to questions I’m not even sure of. But. I’m searching in all the wrong places. Naively believing that my heart lays at the shoreside. Exploring the forest, hoping that I discover something, something worthwhile. I look for my answers in people. People older than me. People smarter than me. People who at least, seem, to know, more than me. I study. For all my life, I’ve sat at a desk, studying. But, I don’t really seem to know more than I did before. I still study. I read. I search for my soul in other peoples’ text. The characters in the novels I read, I relate to them. The difference is, my life continues even after the book concludes. I’ve tried searching for life in you. I thought you could help me. I dig myself deeper into this hole, this pit that swallows me.
During the P.R.China’s week-long National Holiday (国庆节 guó qìng jíe), I left the big city for the mountains, visited rural areas, and even relaxed by the seaside. Undoubtedly living up to its name, the Great Wall of China accompanied us throughout our trip to various areas.
I miss this. “Fluorescent Adolescent” - Arctic Monkeys. They were amazing live.

Junius Stinney was the youngest person in America to be executed on death row in 1944 at age 14. He was quickly accused by the (white police) of ‘killing’ two little (white girls) with lack of evidence. His conviction and sentencing opened and closed in one day. There were no witnesses called and there was no transcript of the trial details and black people were not allowed inside the courtroom during that time.
[I always repost this because i don’t want anyone to forget about him!]
