On This Road, I See My Future and My Dream.

      Walking alone on the street is my favorite. It's my time, my world, and my little fancy. It seems  like the clamorous and complicated world is nothing to do with my heart. Studying in Hualien, I have more and more rare opportunity to go home. I go back to Taipei once a month. Two weeks ago, I went to Taipei as usual. Every time I'll spare one day for myself. In my opinions, meeting old friends or dating with girlfriend are not as crucial as getting along with myself. People work hard for their life, their lovers, or their dreams. We always keep busy, but forget to concern ourselves. Life is a long journey. Spending some time to get used to loneliness and to love yourself is relatively vital. That day I walked from the Taipei Main Station to the Taipei City Hall. It became a routine when I was in Taipei. I tried different route every time. I still remembered that day was cloudy and a little chilly. I was walking alone on the street. Observing people and views was my favorite thing to do. Perhaps, it was just a book, a scene, or a behavior made by passengers. It would provoke some thoughts in my mind. Sometimes, It was related to my past life experiences or dreams that probably would come true in the future. These scenes gave me sort of hopes and powers to go on and provides me with some notice which was about the dark side of the world. There were a couple of lovers fighting on the street. I knew it's a common scene in our life. However, I stopped, stood, and watched them. Of course they didn't notice me. The most astonishing thing I considered was the words came out from their mouths. I promised it was the least fierce fight i had ever seen but every sentence said by them just harsh, insulting, and cold. The first perspective came out in my mind was "god bless you." I tried to imagine many results for them. Love wasn't easy. Even it was a stable and long relationship. Even though they had a lot of complaints, why they couldn't tone down their languages?

      Love is vulnerable. Many things would collapse in a second. I didn't know, and I just thought of my friends and families and kept walking. For me, a road trip should not be so narrow. It can become wider and deeper. For me, the most fascinating thing in the road trip is the reflection or the revelation  I can receive from it. It encourage me to care about people more and to weave my future and dreams more. 

My Best Friend
      People say that friends are the sunshine which will give you a hand when you are in trouble. I can't agree more. This is the story of my best friend, Angelia. We knew each other since 4 years ago. The first impression of her is nothing more than a strange person actually. At a first sight, you can realize how much passion she has, and how great her eloquence is. In the surface, at times, you even wander whether she is a woman or not. She is courageous, daring, and have more guts than men. From the aspects of life, she is a little sloppy and easy-going. However, after a period of time getting along with her, you'll find out she is more sensitive than anyone. She can see beyond what people need, and put herself into others' shoes. Meanwhile, choose the best for herself. She is clever, subtle, and sometimes formidable. I consider that it's the most attractive personality of her. you know, combining many aspects of characteristics. That's complicated but also the most interesting thing of a person. Moreover, she is like a tour of my life when I have some worries. She'll help at all costs, and stand by your side. Although now we study in different places, the delightful feeling of deja vu of our meeting exists.

My little road, my little world

      Have you ever been alone on the street? Have you ever had a small road trip by yourself? When I was bored or depressed, I'll go on a small road trip in Taipei. I usually walk from the beginning to the end of Zhongxiao E. Rd. The reasons why I choose this road are not just it's the most prosperous area of Taipei but also I can notice many stories and phenomena there. Wear my headphones, walk, and see. There are many new modern buildings here;however, across from the street, they're ancient mottled constructions. I reckon that's why this city is attractive. You know, a magnificent work of humanity and history. This road also reveal both its passion and indifference toward people. Why I feel that? On this clamorous road, the only thing can not be hidden is loneness. The more passionate people act, the more lonely people feel.  At times, I'll see a stylish woman who grabs a cup of coffee  walking fast through a man. A man beg for money with a shabby coffee cup. People are used to it. Maybe the most ironic thing is that identical cup sleeves with different temperature. Moreover, I love to observe lovers. They hold each other tightly on the street smiling delightfully. For them, at the moment, the whole world is nothing but their love. Even though a lonely boy stands next to them staring at his cellphone with frustrated eyes. Wear my headphones, see, and walk. These scenes can always smooth my fidgety emotions. Settle down my feelings, enjoy this little road trip, enter my little world.
