[Every day is a good day] Daily essays in February

Hello everyone! I am Liang Qian!

From last year for half a year to a year, due to my return to school, my daily busyness forced me to have less time to write essays or read notes; I am still learning to balance life and schoolwork, interpersonal and work, etc. Still exploring from it. ( The most recent articles on the board are all previous articles)

Although I stopped writing large-scale articles, I still like words very much.

On ig, I still browse other writers’ short essays on and off, and occasionally keep a diary.

I find myself changing the way I write about my journal, and I like to explore new writing styles.

So think about it, it's not bad to put it up as a record! So the following is the daily essay I wrote a while ago.

If you are interested, please keep reading!

The long-lost sun in Taipei. ⁡

1.⁡

It has been cold and wet for several days. This is the first sunshine since I came back. I have to say that the weather in Kaohsiung is so good that I forget the rain in Taipei. Except for the occasional bad air quality, everything else is fine. ⁡

⁡

My allergic nose gradually improved as I went to study abroad. Maybe I have been with it for 20 years and gradually learned about its habits. I know that I need to wear a mask before going to bed, I know that I need to clean the house regularly, or I know how much to swallow when it gets angry occasionally. pills. ⁡

⁡

As I get older, I find it harder and harder to be happy, and my worries gradually spread from a small area. Many people tell me that you don't need to worry about the things you can't control, but I'm still hanging, feeling the pulsating changes and anxiety, sometimes I understand that this is good, and it is good to be able to perceive subtle things. For art and creation, it can be a receiver of connection with the world, but I am also deeply distressed, because these feelings always come quickly and violently. ⁡

My body always reacts to the psychological state one step earlier. I will tremble with fear, and I will feel nauseous when I am nervous. The result is too many tears. Those physical changes are just like my allergic nose, which is helpless and disturbing. ⁡

2.⁡

The Internet is full of news of the fight between Ukraine and Russia, touching every nerve again and again.

Like Hong Kong at the time, it was very sudden and shocking, and I knew that maybe it would be followed by several insomnia, just like that time. ⁡

Children who were born in relative peace and freedom, whenever they read the news, they get more helplessness and hesitation. What is the other side of the world like? I, who have not even stepped out of Taiwan, feel this way. I'm just confused, I don't understand why human beings hurt each other. ⁡

Is it the fundamental deriving of interests that creates harm? Or geography and identity? Or, like in the Israel-Arab conflict, there are many loves that have deteriorated after being injured by the war (maybe's family was affected by the war, and the conflict was derived)?

These and these have become difficult problems to explain, and can only support each other in their own ways. ⁡

⁡

As always, it's just personal murmurs, like elaboration and self-talk, all I want is to understand why? ⁡
