"I want to see people, even the bloody heart."

I'm afraid I'm afraid that when I'm very old, I'll just lie in bed and be slaughtered, I can't stand up, I can't write, I can't talk, I can't think, I can't feel I really don't know what it means to live like this I'm really scared every time I think about what I've become when I'm old. What is the meaning of the universe, does it exist, what do we do alive, I don't think it matters, not at all, what matters is that I can feel it all, I can see the stars on the ceiling now I hear my ears The sound of the air conditioner on the side, I feel my stomach hurts, I just watched a movie and I can feel it in my head, even if no one can prove it, there is no proof, but I know it is there, this is the most important. One of the most terrifying things I have ever thought about is that one day no one in this world knows me, no one knows my name, no one remembers my feelings for me, when people lose touch with everything, this is The scariest and scariest. We need to connect with other people, but many times... watching this movie alone with the lights off, it feels like drowning. At the same time, I communicated once with the characters of this film. The communication between people is an important manifestation of connection, and I am very happy. Sometimes I say I kinda like the feeling of loneliness, the feeling of drinking bitter coffee, and I'm obsessed with that feeling, the person who made me feel that way, but I know I'm only saying that because I'm not drowning in loneliness. Not caring is really cowardly, caring, caring requires courage, I am willing to say it a thousand times is not enough, "brave" is the most precious, important and incomparable virtue in this world, and there is no other. By the way, I am also very afraid of becoming a person without courage.
