We laughed and kept saying "see you soon", but inside we both knew we'd never see each other again.

from La Leggenda del Pianista sull'Oceano in 1998

We are often told to "put on a brave face” or to be strong. To do this, we often have to hide, or at least minimize, whatever fears, flaws, and vulnerabilities we possess. However, such an emphasis on strength is misguided. What truly takes courage is to show our imperfections, not to show our strengths, because it is only when we are able to show vulnerability - or the capacity to be hurt - that we are genuinely able to connect with other people.

二二八連假四日遊 (Day1)

去年底的玉山群峰, 去程時, 因為台21預警性封閉, 所以我們開夜車走台18, 不少路段都是能見度約一公尺的濃霧, 然後我就意識不清楚地經過阿里山到塔塔加.
那是我生平第一次經過阿里山......
玉山群峰的回程, 我跟rey說, 找機會去阿里山玩吧! 輕鬆行程, 開車去搭小火車...XD
農曆年前後, rey就真的在規劃228連假去阿里山玩, 那陣子我一直恍神飄來飄去的.
我只事先聲明, 如果你們不介意我這大電燈泡, 就算我一份, 然後繼續裝傻...
rey則是把行程/交通/住宿都處理好了, 揪感心.
