February 19 | Half a glass of Imperial Stout on the day out

Why did you come into this world, into this human body.

Witness the impermanence, everything is unpredictable and unstoppable.

Worried about graying hair. At first, I would pull it out, but later I found out how exuberant the white hair was, it was already a clump instead of a root, and I realized that the ink glands in the genes on the skin had died, and there would be no new growth and lush black hair. The future must be full of silver, sooner or later, so let it go. A cat without ink, the color spreads from its back, leaving white limbs. At that time, 30 years old, or it can be said that half of life.

There are also pigment spots on the cheekbones, which gradually appeared on the tip of the nose and eyelids. Oh, it could also be that the ink spots on the scalp are drooping. After a certain military training, there were three left, which was the result of sun exposure. After that, I continued to travel, dive, and hike, and my skin became darker and darker. I will also remember the importance of sun protection. When I go out, grab the sunscreen and rub it hard, or put on a hat opportunistically, and the choice of glasses can automatically become black. Where did the melanin dissociate in the body, and finally silently shrunk into a mole.

The bloodshot of the eyeball directly reflects the quality of sleep, plus the fine lines, dry lines and dark circles under the eyes. I wake up suddenly in the middle of the night and go to the toilet once or twice, or I am attracted by a book and stay awake for a long time, or my struggle to wake up from a dream fills my eyes with tears. Recalling high school, when the head teacher first took office, he secretly discussed the wrinkles at the corner of the teacher's eyes and joked that he must be over 25 years old. 25 years old is old enough for the former teenager, but he doesn't want his current self to have already surpassed those boundaries.

Signs of aging will always crawl over this body, and a second of the present is different from a second of the past. But it is difficult to get rid of the obsession with the flesh. It seems that it is hard to get it, and it is even more necessary to take good care of it. It takes a few reincarnations to have a chance to give birth to a skin. So skin care, sun protection, fitness, weight maintenance, and vitality. But I also know that this skin is borrowed after all, and it comes empty or empty.

The book says that there is no self in the world, let go of obsessions, accept impermanence, and welcome emptiness. This is also left to the literal understanding, but cannot be profound. Because of the lack of experience about death, I was also fascinated and felt that it should be seen through. Thus a way of life emerges that reduces consumption and material desires. When a desire arises, lay out your own assumptions, ask yourself if you really need it, whether it is influenced by outside information, how long and how often you will use it, and then ask yourself if you die soon, what will you buy? Use, whether it is easy to clean up, what kind of trouble will it leave for the living... So, I don't want to buy too many books, clothes, souvenirs or solid objects, try to use electronic devices to simplify future cleanup scenes. Whether it is inappropriate to assume this, whether death is too far away or even impossible to say, aging is even more of a fear in my heart, until 2020 will slowly improve as the years pass.

Have a half glass of Imperial Stout on your days out.

Half of me is actively preparing, and half of me is having fun.

Friday was also a holiday scene, and the boat that left the island had no outdoor seating. Many websites post some hiking routes on the island, the lizard house on the island, the small coffee on the island, the cheap life on the island... So the island is getting more and more lively, and it is almost going to become another metropolis. Woohoo.

25 minutes by boat, 15 minutes on foot, 5 minutes on MTR, 10 minutes on foot, to a real crowd gathering place. If you don’t go out for a long time, the beeping of traffic lights is confusing. People in the same direction and people in the opposite direction are dazzling. Even the skills of knowing the way are degraded. Looking at Google Maps, you will turn an intersection ahead of time. After wandering around, I finally found my destination, and I chose Taproom for lunch on a weekday.

It is calculated that the acquaintance was at the end of 2016, the evening Cantonese class at CUHK, and it is now in the blink of an eye. I haven't seen each other for a long time. I don't know how many times I have been quarantined, those who have given birth to babies, those who have gone to other cities, and even those who have been quarantined. It's really been years. Although happy, but did not dare to drink too much in the afternoon, so the peat empire Stout with an alcohol content of 12% came first with a half glass. As for all those who have not tried the total desire to try, after all, although material desires have faded, they have been transformed into caring for the body, transformed into strong appetite, and transformed into greed. Unlike youth, when there is no bitterness in the heart, it is more restrained to drink happily. But also looking forward to more gatherings, thinking collisions, and feeling the exchange of energy between people.

Unable to read on the bus, sleepy, get off the bus to complete the daily fruit and vegetable shopping, that is, take the boat to sleep back to the island.
