| You Are Sauvignon Blanc |
 Engaging and energetic, you have a lot to offer the world – most of it they’ve never seen anywhere else!You are the type of person who carves your own path in life… and you invite everyone else to come along. The only thing predictable about you is that you could have anything up your sleeve. You’re all about sampling all of life’s experiences. Both the savory and unsavory ones. Deep down you are: Laid back and young at heart Your partying style: Anything goes… seriously! Your company is enjoyed best with: Smoked meats or spicy food |
Sadness is but a temporary epidemic that the plagued will eventually be left alone to recover. In this world no one is strong enough, neither mankind nor their despairs and fears.
Even when adversities stack, if you see that your friends are still fighting on and eventually having success, you know hope is alive and there’s no way to say die.
By the way, how to answer the question “how are you” anyway? Reality is always complex.
Encountered Fog Sculpture by Fujiko Nakaya on the way to the Sun Tent where I was attending a Sun Festival talk on writing. I was in the mist under a bridge and a few barely visible human contours were in the vicinity.
The expiration dates of friendships are not as you predicted. You want to know when it is but you never could. Emails meant to keep in contact eventually end up dying out, like a few feeble ECG impulses. After some time past, no one looks or sounds familiar any more. Is this the person I used to know? There starts to be doubts.
I’m having one of those I’m-not-having-my-day days. Heads dizzy and heavy. Tons of revisions to do. There is a hunger and thirst in my soul. I tried to fill it with snacks: chips, drinks, bread sticks, yogurts… In the end I’m just getting tired of snacks. They only have such varieties. And they satisfy nothing. Not what I needed. Reading. Wish I comprehended everything. The dissatisfaction of life cannot be compensated by the satisfaction of taste.
When people say “we”, it means they and other people, as opposed to me, which is often addressed as “you”. Not playing a part in “we”, a perpetual outsider I am. There’s something in me that draws a line and builds a gap between “the crowd” and me.
The reference of “you” is also highly ambiguous. It could be unclear whether it refers to a single or multiple persons. In some cases, “we” and “you” could be crowd vs. crowd, bilaterally basked in the warmth of collectivity.
