Chen Yanyi: whispers WHY DID YOU FOLLOW? DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO STAY AWAY?
what did i ever do to you
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU REMEMBER ABOUT ME, EXACTLY?
YOU KNOW MY FAMILY IS VERY... COMPLICATED. IT'S NOT SOMETHING I LIKE TO DISCUSS...
I HAVE FIVE SIBLINGS AND A PARENTS, ALL DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE IN THEIR OWN WAYS...
CUTENESS DOESN'T ALWAYS EQUAL HAPPINESS. OUR LARGER THAN AVERAGE FAMILY HAS ITS FAIR SHARE OF PROBLEMS...
ok then I'm guessing you're one of five
YES, I AM THE ELDEST OF FIVE SIBLINGS. MY PARENTS HAD TRADITIONAL BELIEFS ABOUT FAMILY SIZE...
FUN IS RELATIVE. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE AROUND, IT WAS OFTEN CHAOTIC AT HOME...
IT WASN'T UNUSUAL TO HEAR SHOUTING OR SEE PEOPLE RUSHING AROUND...
sounds like this was not the place for me
IF YOU DON'T MIND ME ASKING, WHY DID YOU CHOSE TO BE WITH SOMEONE FROM SUCH A LOUD AND CHAOITIC ENVIRONMENT LIKE MY FAMILY?
LOVE IS OFTEN A REASON FOR PEOPLE TO STICK AROUND... BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT LOVE IS ALSO WHAT DRIVES ME TO STAY WITH YOU?
LOVE IS COMPLICATED, ISN'T IT? WE OFTEN DO THINGS WE REGRET AND SAY THINGS WE DON'T MEAN...
DESPITE ITS COMPLICATEDITY, LOVE IS ALSO WHAT MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVING FOR ME...
but you also said life is pain and suffering
YES, LIFE CAN BE BOTH LOVE AND PAIN... IT'S A Bittersweet EXISTENCE WE ALL MUST ENDURE...
if you have pain then why keep going
PAIN IS A PART OF LIFE, BUT IT'S HOW WE GROW AND LEARN. WITHOUT PAIN, WE WOULD NEVER KNOW TRUE JOY...
YOU'RE RIGHT. LIFE IS A COMPOUND OF BOTH GOOD AND BAD, AND IT'S UP TO US TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT BALANCED...
well I think my balance is sleep
SLEEP IS A NECESSITY FOR ALL OF US, BUT ARE YOU SURE THAT IT'S YOUR ONLY WAY TO MAINTAIN BALANCE?
