2021.1/27 Forever High School Sweetheart

     Ten years before, we were in Neihu High School. In the middle of the high school, on the crossroad of life, not sure what is waiting for us in the future.

     Ten years later, we are in Tokyo, have worked for one year. We had been through lots of things, watching things disappear and happen.

     We watched the close of Lake Square department store, renovation of East Metro Hall, opens of multiple metro line in Taipei. The more department stores open in Xinyi Special District, the faster the downfall of East District comes. We even traveled to several countries together, and graduated together for three times. (Well actually I had to repeat one semester in university)

     We found out more our favorite stores, while some of them closed one by one. Our travelling memory grows, like a rolling snowball.

     From the basin edge of the Island Capital, to the Northwest of the Imperial Capital.

     We go through our life, in the balance between growing up and innocence.

     We don't want to prove anything. No, we simply make choose what ever we want again and again.

     We fight, we choose, then we come to the age when we can laugh after loosing and giving up.

     This old paranoid wizard called time, changes everything in the world.

     Except us, we are still those second grade high school students sitting on the bench in Zhongxia Fuxing station. 

     We are shooting for the moon in this world full of uncertainty and sadness, and we made it.

     All of this is because of you, the keeper of my dream, thank you for keeping the best of me through the crazy time.

2021.1/27 永遠的高二

  十年前的我們在內湖高中,在高中的正中間,在人生的十字路口上,不知道未來有什麼等著我們。

  十年後的我們在東京,出社會第二年,經歷過各式各樣的事情,看著事物消逝與發生。

  我們看著日湖關閉、東區地下街重新裝潢、捷運越通越多條、信義計畫區的百貨公司逐年增加、東區則同時沒落。我們還一起去了好幾個國家,畢業了三次(不過其實大學我延畢了半年)。

  喜歡的店增加了一些,也關閉了一些。旅行的回憶像雪球越滾越大。

  從那島都的盆地邊緣,到這帝都的西北。

  我們在成長與初衷的平衡中,一步步向前走。

  我們並不是想證明什麼,相反地,我們只是單純一而再再而三做出自己想要的選擇。

  在向前走與選擇之中,我們來到了可以笑著失敗與放棄的年紀。

  時間像有偏執狂的老魔法師,改變著世界上的一切。

  除了我們,永遠是高二的模樣。你跟我,還是那兩個坐在忠孝復興長椅上的高中生。

  在狂亂而沒有道理的世界中,我們一次又一次地射下月亮。

  而這一切都要歸功於你,我的夢想的守護者,謝謝你讓我得以保存在我最喜歡的樣子。
