Once upon a time a girl was asked to set the tone of her book; is it pessimistic or optimistic?

At one point or another, we all have to figure out the tone of ourselves: pessimistic or optimistic? Submissive, docile kitten or Virginia Woolfishly independent and deep. When your man pretends to pay attention and seems just a tad too eager to wave goodbye, do you shrug and sniff: “Typical. Man.”? Or do you try to talk it out with him? If the latter is the case, don’t you, a little sadly and pathetically, secretly harbor the fear that you might appear too clingy, too demanding—in a word, too dependent?

In most cases, men are not as deep and complicated as most women would give them credit for. But, does this mean that women have to lower themselves to men’s level and simply suppress the emerging thoughts so that peace would reign a little bit longer? Apparently, experiences and those tragic stories have told us that what is suppressed and hidden for the moment would eventually erupt, only with more frightening momentum and destructive power. As a typical husband-and-wife joke goes, women tend to become historians when they argue with their husband about some trivial issue at hand for they invariably dig out the grudges and grumps in the past that should have been vented the moment they have them but instead have been building and growing during their imposed hibernation. So a small bickering turns into a fight and a rift opens up into a gap, until things could never be patched up again and another “live-happily-ever-after” fairy tale closes, with all the drama behind the curtains.

Men and women have heard of these lessons for sure, but they never learn. Maybe men, after all, are from Mars and women, Venus. Keep that in mind and next time when anything that is beyond your realm of understanding shows itself and just makes you really mad at your beloved, you would know that it should be blamed on the universe which has programmed it, not the one you love.

1.   Has it ever occurred to you that maybe the whole world’s been a big fat lie and that everything’s just an illusion?

2.   Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, you don’t actually belong here on the Earth? It might have been an incredible mistake to be born, to ever be alive.

3.   Have you ever wondered why someone could be such a jerk as to deliberately hurt you and rejoice in your misery?

4.   Have you ever had the feeling that everything is just falling apart and you are being enveloped in this dark, seamless web of the pieces with no exit whatsoever?

5.   Have you ever been swallowed by the insufferable despair and self-pity that you just want to quit and get the hell out of the place?

6.   Have you ever seen the smile on someone, which can wipe all the crap above right off your mind?

晚上下课，坐车回家。
晚上凉凉的风，很舒服。
车窗外，看见学生背着书包飙车；
那么自然地，就想起高中时、大学时的我；
不顾一切地飙车；
不知道现在还会不会；

不过知道，
现在学会了，在开着窗的车里，
眼泪跟迎面的风对抗；
车到西湖边上，
很柔，很美的夜晚，
所以湖边手拉手的，肩并肩的情侣很多，
想起有人说过的，跟某人一起走过，
看别人走得再亲密也总觉“不及格”，
嘴角得意地上扬；
最近还是很累，
于是怀念去年这个时候，
再累都能喊喊“漂汗的人生不需要理由”，
再累都斗志满满的那个小米;
昨天背着一个沉重的书包上楼梯，
快走到楼顶的时候，
人突然向后仰去，
在失去重心的一霎那，
心里飘过白色病房的影子，
居然觉得向往。
摇头摇头，
这样不好。
偶会挺下去的。
于是继续上楼。
老麦同学听到偶有气无力总是很烦，
偶也决定不再叹气，
毕竟，能承受的，
只能是自己。
明天，偶要很XX很XX很XX地上班去，
偶答应了的，
偶要做到。
撅着嘴向妈妈抱怨，
儿童节没有蛋糕，没有礼物，
妈妈抱住偶，
笑着说，给你买了面包，
心里照样是满满的幸福。
亲爱的，儿童节快乐。
N辈子的儿童节，植树节，劳动节
情人节，圣诞节，XX节。。
都快乐~
