“Athena was dazzling,” I say, and I do mean it. “She was larger than life. Untouchable. Looking at her was like looking at the sun. She was so brilliant that it hurt to stare for too long.”
“On all those random occasions, I seemed to myself as implausible a father as she seemed to be a daughter.”

“太虚幻境”。两边又有一副对联，道是：“假作真时真亦假，无为有处有还无。”

“我享有自由，我拥有许多人想像不到的自由，我也拥有此刻自己不需要的自由。不过，这却是流亡者的自由，是没有影子的人所拥有的自由。”

“Today, I slept in until 10,
Cleaned every dish I own,
Fought with the bank,
Took care of paperwork.
You and I might have different definitions of adulthood.
I don’t work for salary, I didn’t graduate from college,
But I don’t speak for others anymore,
And I don’t regret anything I can’t genuinely apologize for.
And my mother is proud of me.
I burnt down a house of depression,
I painted over murals of greyscale,
And it was hard to rewrite my life into one I wanted to live
But today, I want to live.
I didn’t salivate over sharp knives,
Or envy the boy who tossed himself off the Brooklyn bridge.
I just cleaned my bathroom,
did the laundry,
called my brother.
Told him, “it was a good day.”
