18 years old, first time
Li Zibei is one month older than me. We were both 17 years old that year. At that age, when we thought the world was wrong and love was beautiful, he would hold my hand and call me "little girl". He would often accompany me to run around the playground after school and provide me with warmth when I argued with my parents. I kissed him for the first time by standing on tiptoe, and he blushed before I did. Seeing his shy expression, I suddenly wanted to spend my whole life with him.

Get Your Head Out of the Way
Sometimes we just need to have our heads out of the way. We need to find the connected screws and unwind them slowly until we hear a giant ‘pop’ when our head finally is removed from our ass. Today, the coffee acts as a mild sedative for my unhinged, racing mind that creates difficulty in finding awareness in the midst of the racetrack running to first place. It has difficulty in seeing the splash in the river by the fish that just flopped by, or the breeze that blows through the trees so tenderly. The motorbike is exhausted. I increase the throttle to push through the patch of emptiness that lives inside the fuel tank, throttle, throttle, throttle… It runs out of stamina regardless and it’s right as I arrive aside the fuel station where I pull in on the last gasp of the night and roll safely to meet the man with the giant nozzle I’m requiring.

Human Design - The New Age of Self Discovery

Confused Beings In Existence
“For one to have a presence there must be a level of confusion.” - Confused person A scientist is just as confused as a rock. That rock is no less confused as the air. The air shares the same confusion as you, the reader. However, you most likely are to believe you’re intelligent and not confused by any degree. At the least you have knowledge of simple mathematics, know how to clean things and wash yourself, may even know a thing or two about complex matters. This is true you are intelligent, everything is intelligent by definition but nothing can escape confusion. Quite literally, NOTHING CAN ESCAPE CONFUSION. You’re a something, a somebody like me (who is also confused), therefore we’re subject to potentially being confused by any fathomable thing. It’s only that I’ve accepted how much I don’t understand or could ever understand. Obviously, I’m not totally clueless about the fundamentals of existence just confused like everyone else.

Common sense is not so common
“Common sense is not so common” is a phrase that we often get to hear and more often get to see in action. It’s definitely a loaded statement and quite ironic, to be honest. I once saw one of my batchmates putting ice cubes in a bowl and placing it right under the ceiling fan, hoping that it would slow down the melting process. Told you it's quite ironic sometimes.
