As I'm starting off on this keyboard typing away my thoughts, I don't have anything in particular to write about but in a way, a sense of something I need to write about needs to be expressed tonight. I like to think that if I wait till tomorrow, those thoughts and feelings I have now will evaporate into my sleep and then into my dream, only myself to be awaken with only its shadow. It's not intangible but I feel like I can't grasp it in my hands.
When I was on that airplane going back here to continue what I left for four months for a Summer escape, I couldn't help but to dread about it. It's as if I'm going back to this black void, sucked into a black hole only to find myself sunken into a lake of forgotten memories. And those memories are not forgotten anymore. It just reminds me the time alone I had in that small pink bath tub back in that old house one year ago.
God. One year. That's how long time has passed by.
I don't like to think about the past as often as I did any longer. It just feels like a dirty, cheap rusted tin box filled with bad, old memories. That's how bad it is. Part of me understands why; like a mature, logical and sensible young adult. Part of me just hate it so much, no, not hate, just can't get back to whom I was before. I am no longer searching answers in the past. No longer questioning every scene re-enacted in my head with the what ifs every so often. It's no longer a hassle. No longer a big problem. No longer part of my present time.
I thought it was such a bad thing to forget about friends you had. To forget the people you shared memories, the laughters and cries, the tiring efforts you make just to make people to accept you as you are. Only to find out that you are replaceable. They can discard you any time, any way, and every so often you don't even realize it happening. Friends drift apart. Even good friends that vowed and promised you sweet times and loyalty.
Through passing time and experience, only people you had deep understanding with, opened up your heart without any pretense, are the people you are likely to spend time without feeling dread and the people who are most likely to stand beside you forever. They would point out in every storm and rainfall, rainbows will shine its way through to put a smile on you. Well actually after the storm has died down lah. Literally, they will laugh at you when you're crying and tell how ugly you look like with puffy, red eyes, runny nose, and a comatose understanding why things happen the way they are. Of course they'll cry with you too. I love you bam bam me.
On a rather different topic all together, I've always been planning ridiculous way to escape reality. The reality people around me build up for me. I understand that I can't do much about it, but at the same time I know all I have to do to change it is to have more will power and actually believe that everything can be done if only I put my mind into it. So many things I want to do and so many things I want to become in my short period of life. It's nothing to do with showing off what I would have achieved, or what kind of life I would lead, but more about what good things I would do for myself. It's always about the 'me', not something else.
I learned that when you tell a story about something (an event, etc), it's more likely you would tell the story in your point of view, your experience about it, how you relate to the story, how it has an impact on you, and most importantly, oh my gosh, 'it's me' you're talking about.

Sumire is lost and she's back now, somewhere in another space but parallel time and place. I just can't get it out of my head. Where did she go to at that faithful night, wandering off into the woods? I wonder if she is dead, but K and Miu said they didn't feel that way so I believe in them. She's alive somewhere, only they can't reach her. Not in the same world as you and I live. I wonder what happens if you cross into that world. Would you be able to repent? Is it a punishment actually? Is it the last resort? I wonder if what Miu said about losing half of her somewhere is true. I wonder if I lost half of myself back then. I saw someone different back then, and I couldn't find myself to reconnect with 'her'. We shared experience and memories, but that's about it. The 'me' in the past has nothing else in common with the me now. She was close-minded, she thought she was non-judgmental, knows what is wrong and what is right. Just like in the book, 'I know with all my heart what's wrong... but could you tell me what is right?' Theoretically, you can say what is wrong and what is right. But to practise it in real life is... well not as simple as little theories.
I'm sleepy, so goodnight. Another time, another story.
