Hi February
Halfway through recess week. It's a good respite, alleviating the lingering sorrow from the brief CNY break. Made a couple of "big" decisions within the past 1 month time frame. Hopefully they will turn out smooth and fulfilling. Have been looking clips of "Return of Superman" since earlier this month, especially those of the triplets. The family is an epitome of an ideal one. Parents are outstanding in their own fields of work. The children are adorable and possess likable personalities. Parenting is done right. Everyone is healthy. They radiate strong kinship from their lovely apartment in Songdo, which offers a breathtaking view of the city (and maybe even the Yellow Sea). Hope I don't sound too deprived. HAHAHAHA.
Came across the following on the NY Times: "Neko Atsume: Kitty Collector is a game that appears to be about collecting cats. Only you never really collect the cats — merely your photographs of them, for your Catbook. The cats come, the cats go; maybe you see them, maybe you don’t. The cats do not care. They have other lives, other places to be. What brings you back, again and again, is that these semiwild creatures have decided, temporarily, to share their existence with you. You cannot collect them, merely the memory of them, for existence is fleeting and nothing, save for ourselves, is ever entirely ours."

Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking back at past relationships, less feeling regretful about them.
I think the writer should rephrase "The cats do not care" to something like "The cats will still leave eventually". I'm thinking about the streak of not taking initiative, which runs in the blood of many people. They have other lives and might be willing to meet you only if you ask them to, but if one day you cut off connections with them, would it actually affect them any bit? And you might never be able to guess the reason for people not opening their golden mouths - just simply waiting for you, or you're not worth them asking, or... And there are people who verbalize, but don't want to be straightforward. People are hard to fathom. So who should blame anyone for "thinking too much", because even when you really do, you might not get what the other party wants.
