These days, my body seems to be traveling long distances, starting and returning, completely out of my control. There always seems to be a vague jet lag in my head. When I was in China, I knew the time in France was the right time. After I arrived in France, I started to miss the sunrise and sunset in China again.
How many times have I seen magnificent sunrises and slightly bleak sunsets in the sky? Large swaths of clouds stretched to the distant sky, and the arc-shaped sky showed a magnificent color... and those times when the plane was just moving forward, it brought me who was always sleepy. I accidentally forgot the time and even lost my position and direction.
Take the subway to the appointment in the afternoon. No map, no thinking. Just like most people living here, they seem to be used to everything here-there will be a free newspaper at a certain corner of the transfer station, and the Kinder Bun on the platform will always be two yuan, the end of the car A carriage will always be parked in this position, and the men with the car have been playing the same song for 3 months...
Everyone says that the people here are not willing to make changes often. Of course, love will always be the exception.
So simply talked about love during the date with the teacher.
The teacher asked me if I was ready to stay here for at least another three years.
I smiled and nodded.
He said that the past three years may not have been easy. Looking at the previous you and the current you, do you feel that you have lost too much.
I bowed my head for a while and said nothing. Finally, look at me...There will never be enough friends, but there will never be a shortage of friends. If you must ask about my losses and gains, then maybe there is only "loneliness" which is worth savoring.
Haha, for so long and so long, I lived alone in a corner of this huge city. I kept listening to the songs of my favorite singers, eating the unpalatable dinners I made, and then opened the window and stared at the not far away tower in a daze, the city lights flickering quietly under my eyes...There was nothing else.
Occasionally like a girl, the girl will only stay here for a short time.
We can only communicate in strange French, but we never get tired of it. We kissed cautiously on the empty old streets in winter, and rode across the city in the middle of the night.
I asked her why we two foreigners can always understand each other in the language of this country. She said it's actually very simple, just because we understand each other's loneliness as "strangers".
We leaned together to watch "Lost in Tokyo" that night.
"Look...Tokyo. Where I am going. After leaving Tokushima, I spent 4 years adapting to Kyoto, and now everything will be new again. I'm really worried..." I can only remember her words.
After a while, she went back to find her boyfriend, and I continued to live here.
What an ordinary thing.
Return to the subway station after the appointment with the teacher. I deliberately looked at the subway map for a long time, looking at almost every corner of this complicated picture. Where you have lived before, where you live now, the homes of people you know, or just passing by.
In fact, I was in London and Hong Kong a month ago. Reading the maps there is also something I must do before going out.
I don’t understand why I’m trying to get to know a completely unfamiliar city, to deliberately know everything there, including how to take a bus, how to buy bread, or just adjust my watch to the local time to figure out where I’m going and where I’m going. Direction.
I always lose all of these on long-distance airplanes, but I always need to pick them up again and again.
The first time I watched "Lost in Tokyo" was in Beijing. This is not my hometown but has given me too much city. Is it because I am going back, so at this moment, my body has begun to adapt to you over there:)
PS: The days to come will always be so uncertain. If I can feed myself enough, I would also like to have the opportunity to go to Tokyo.
Ha, in fact, like you said, deciding to live like this is very worrying!
