My friend went to the Basement Bookstore again today.
This time, she bought 4 books.
I found these two pages to be really cute.
I was even nodding to a few of the quotes.
People should say 'I Love You' more often.
My dad says it every single time he calls me.
I used to not reply to it because I felt awkward, somehow.
However, something in my brain changed early this year.
I told myself that I would start saying: 'Love you too.'
And I do it now, with a little more ease.
Love is a verb. Love is a noun.
Love is an adjective and everything more.
I am a lucky person
for my family showers me with love ever so willingly
and tells me that they love me too.
Though at times, I do not understand why they love me.
Sometimes, it is hard to know why.
The bottle that my friend gave me for my 21st birthday
has this line stated on it:
' To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.'
I wonder if bliss and happiness are linked together.
If they are, would the detachment concept
mentioned in Hinduism bring you happiness
when it blesses you with bliss,
after you have renounced worldly feelings such as love?
Could a person be happy without love?
Love for god is still a form of love and so,
may I conclude that love is not a worldly feeling?
And since so many people are capable of love,
Can we say that they are all out-of-this-world?
I have always liked this song: Companion by Huang Xiao Hu.

A Literal Translation by Me:
如果 命运可以订做 If fate could be planned
如果 有另一次选择 If there was another option
我想我 还是会 I think I would still
把手让你紧握 Allow my hands to be grasped by yours
快乐地陪你去坎坷 And happily accompany you through hardships
就算 你有天变落魄 Even if one day you are in dire straits
就算 你老得不能动 Even if you are so old you cannot move
我想我 还是会 I think I would still
挽著你看日落 Watch the sunset with my arms around you
你的心疼在泪光中 With your distress reflected in your tears.

嘴巴上 彼此嫌麻烦 During conversations,
the both of us complain about each other
眼神中 关怀那么满 But in our gazes, there is so much care shown
没说爱 Without uttering the words of love
却早已认定一辈子的伴 We have already chosen our partners for life.
在人前 从来不浪漫 In front of people, we are never romantic.
在心中 却总为对方打算 In our hearts however,
we are always thinking for each other.
最懂的人 最暖的伴 The most understood person,
the most cozy companion.
就算 我以后变罗嗦 Even if I become naggy later on
就算 我老了有病痛 Even if I grow old and have sicknesses
我想你 还是会 I think you would still
照顾我到最后 Take care of me until the end
隐藏脆弱不眠不休 Hiding your vulnerability
whilst sacrificing sleep and rest.
没有辛酸 没有遗憾 Without bitterness, without regrets
什么是陪伴 什么是心安 What is accompaniment? What is peace?
你是答案 The answer is you.
