Description

I love strolling on an empty street at five o’clock in the morning.

I love discussing the absurdity of the world with wanderers.

I enjoy watching the sunrise, slowly waking up the sleeping world.

I enjoy having random philosophical conversations with strangers.





I make mistakes.

I mess things up.

I invite chaos to my life,

And then self-sabotage with cries.

I’m on a journey to accept my weaknesses,

Forgive others and myself at the same time.





Sometimes I don’t care what people say about my works.

It’s a record of how I see the world.

Sometimes, I long for someone to see through my art.

I only want to mean something to a special person's heart.





I laugh a lot, and prank even more.

I cherish tiny happiness in the world.

Like the hot air on a cup of coffee on a rainy day;

Or couples hug and kiss at the airport.





I have a pessimistic mind but an optimistic heart.

I love and hate humans at the same time.

Their motives and behaviours confused me a lot.

They can’t understand my intuition either.

Sometimes, I'd rather stay away from the crowd

And keep people out.





I moved from China to New Zealand in my 20s.

Then left Auckland to London now to Lisbon at 30s.

I’ve travelled to four continents.

But there is no place I could call home.

I’m always being a Christmas orphan,

But never thought my loneliness is a misfortune.

Through content creation,

I found my roots and built relations.





I am still on the road.

I don’t know life's next episode.

I want to turn my existence into a poem.

I want my life to become an exquisite art.

Though the path is destined to be hard,

Through authenticity, I could find my truth.
