Unbearable weight in life

I'd rather have "The Virgin Suicides" literally translated as "Death of the Virgin," because it highlights the outright cruelty, while the slow, hushed tone with sad sighs is an indictment of "the unbearable weight of life."

Unexpected plot, I suddenly think of childhood. Suddenly this word means that the shadows of the past have really dissipated and disappeared in my pieces of precipitation. These gray things I thought would remain forever, like a nightmare repeating every day in my life.

Before, that suffocating pressure shrouded my heart, and my mind was heavy with gray. So I used to be silent, but I couldn't hold back my dry heart. I wanted to escape, I wanted to give up, I wanted to die, I wanted to live, I wanted to smile, I wanted to cry, I wanted to make noise, and I wanted to say goodbye. But at that time, I only had stubborn silence, silent struggle, silent exhaustion, kept silent all the time, and kept my inner screaming still.

Then, before I knew it, when I got to university and entered graduate school, I began to master myself, from body to mind. I gave up the shackles of caring, just for free wandering, I am willing to follow the river of life, meandering all the way.

I write this because that time is really in the past. So, today's diary is to tell myself that the past is gone, and I only have the present and the future.
