Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat

On the way to the airport at 2am. 

While looking through the car window, you surprisingly realized that the scenery passing by is no difference from other cities. Seoul to Tokyo, Singapore to Taipei, or London to New York. The scenes always look black and white in your eyes. 

Perhaps you simply feel numb getting on the move. Everything changes too fast. You never have enough time to get used to it, and gotta get going in next second. 

You sense the solitude certainly, but you just can’t stop collecting the stars. You know you still need more to decorate your cosmos. Maybe till the day, the day you see forty-four sunsets and falling twilight, you’ll get to glance back and smile, and start the conversation with a “we”.

凌晨兩點，前往機場的路上。 

你看向車窗外，意外發現車外的景象和其他城市並無兩樣。首爾到東京、新加坡到台北、或是倫敦到紐約。坐在車上沿途的風景在你的眼中是一貫的黑與白。 

也許你只是對於不斷行進感到麻木。什麼都變化得太快。你永遠缺乏時間去適應，然後下一秒鐘又得前進。 

你當然也感到孤寂，但是你從未停止收集那些閃爍的星。你知道你還需要更多星星去裝飾你的宇宙（即便你也不確定用途為何）。或許直到那天，那一天你願意停下來一口氣看四十四次夕陽和乍現的星光，你會回頭一笑，「我們」的時空終始出現，在你的宇宙裡恆定 。

文章原本用英文寫的，翻譯成中文總是不太滿意，所以實在不想如實直翻。撰寫靈感來自於這張黑白照，孤寂的讓我想起紐約。庸庸碌碌，紐約人只追求「我」。 寫給心中永恆的懸念，究竟我們錯過了多少風景？
