Four Sidewalks of Life

Location: Shanghai, China

 

By four sidewalks of life,

Everyday might be easy, hard, and or tough,

Still, it is our pledge as humans to survive, fight for life and happiness,

The mood might be sweet as white flower and pea,

Or, can be as vulnerable as these pretty white flowers that,

No matter how devastating the storm can be,

Let these strong proud standing trees be our guidance,

Stand straight and smile, that is emotional dignity,

These bicycles might have brought our feet to different directions,

We suddenly might slipped the morals, we encountered and planted to our hearts,

However; do always remember that,

It is me, you, and us that make our lives paramount to the sky.

Love Is One Bitch Complicated Thing

A person comprehends love in so many ways depending on a lifestyle they do belongst for but not a thing is comparable with nerdy love. A nerdy adult can have an insensitive heart. It takes a lot of process before they can understand it is so-called “you’re falling”, “you are now liking the person”, “should I give a chance”, or "will this work?.” It is more of brain analyzation process before giving into the next hundred years of conclusion that “Hey, I like this person, and so what I shall do next”. 

These nerdy people usually are clueless to this genre of love. Stereotypically wise, these people wear something like thick black frame glasses with heavy amount of vegetables on their mouth rather munching chips while reading dusty books from the library. But now, these nerds are embracing fashion globalization with their best friend netbook-google, going out with friends with minute minutes to have their nails done, shop for cute clothes and etc. But still, their brains are un-imaginably bombarded with highly notes of knowledge. 

These nerds are beautiful of their own ways yet these are someone whom cannot presumably express their un-filial love through words rather are shown in action on how much they care: they write essays dedicating to their special someone; they forgot to read and open their books to attend to texting, facebooking as they are checking the profile of their love ones because they want to see their face ones in a while that makes them feel lighter and giddier; they are missing their sanity thinking of their special someone more than their lessons for the day; lastly, how can they change a little bit to fit the necessary standard to keep their love ones and forget the stereotype of nerd equals atom and “eww” boring.

However; a lot of “cool” people are misunderstanding and belittling their capacity to be “cool” as well. Never had they thought that these nerds can sing outstandingly some of Taylor Swift’s songs in karaoke. They can watch love movies too like Beastly in spite of Discovery Channel and Bloomberg, 24/7.  Some thinks that these people who do not know how to kiss one in the lips are off-cool and do not have a capacity to be love. Some thinks that those who are not committing premarital sex are nerds and traditional, crazy un-modern. Some thinks that they do not have the right capacity of having someone to fall in love to them, take them seriously; rather they are mostly off take as a huge alternative. Indeed, this makes love ouch for someone who has undergone the whole process of liking yet their love ones do have nothing but untrue love. In the end, good thing that these kind of character are composed of hard rocks, and not glasses; therefore, they cannot be easily broken. Good thing, they know that logic can be twisted but Rubrics square are square of mess yet still is a box to be done and fixed. Indeed, love is one bitch complicated thing but just follow your heart, and you will always do the right thing.
