I Am Single

It is nice to be single. I can give you an example. I met a friend from India this afternoon in the city. He just got married a few months ago and now his wife is pregnant. I could see how happy he was when I asked about his wife and future kids. His smile was very beautiful, I would say. So I guess, there is one thing good about being single: you have too much room to dream for your future happiness.

It is nice to be single. I can give you another example. I met an aussie guy on the street the other day while I was walking to my aunty's place. He stopped me on the street and asked whether I was from China. I said "Ya", and he said, 'I studied in Beijing for three years.' And then we started to talk in Mandarin! How cool is that, and we left phone number to each other. He is a drum player and said he would like to go to some concerts with me. I said "maybe" and smiled. And today, he called back. So I guess, there is one thing good about being single: you never feel guilty when you talk to strangers on the street and go out with any guys whenever you feel like.

BUT you know and I know, it is BAD to be single.
In example one, you find out that relationship is a lie and marriage is a prison.

In example two, you find yourself fall in love with a guy you originally just wanted to have some casual fun with.

WORST of all, it is always true, that you don't want guys who want you. You only want the guy who doesn't want you.

After all, it's all your own fault. STOP DREAMING!

Random Talk

I met a woman on the train. She dressed in black but looked sexy. She started to talk to me. She told me she lost her mobile phone on a taxi and couldn't get it back, and she lost her job two days before that. It was on Thursday night that I met her. She fell out from the stairs on Monday but didn't get hurt seriously. I listened with great empathy. It seemed to me that she was looking for some comfort and confidence in herself. So I told her. 'stay positive, don't put too much pressure on yourself, things will get better and you will be fine.' I told her, 'you look good', when I felt that she might started to lose confidence in herself, and my compliment worked obviously. After she got off the train, I was thinking, how lucky I was. On Tuesday I just found a new job. At the time I met her, I just had great korean food with my friends in Carnegie. I also felt warm when I was thinking of someone. But life is strange, as it usually is. Something changed that night, after I made a few phone calls. Right now I feel hollowed. But it might not be bad after all. Cos you never know..
