Understanding

|

He once took a ride on a technology car in the late afternoon. Throughout the journey, the phone attached to the driver's handlebars kept vibrating, it was his wife calling. Uncle just quickly glanced at me and texted a short line: "Running a ride, speaking at night". When he stopped in front of a long red light, Uncle turned back to look at me, forced a smile: "She is home alone and sad, calling is all talking nonsense". He doesn't know that nonsense with him might be important to his wife. And the excitement of wanting to talk now whether waiting until evening is still intact.

Similar and different

|

In the morning, the familiar coffee shop has something interesting, everyone thinks they are living a "very private" life, but looking closely, they are strangely similar.

Wall

|

There are people who live very "closed" lives. They don't post much, share little, and reply to messages often briefly. Outwardly, people easily think they are cold, unapproachable, or simply don't need anyone. But if you look a little longer, you will see that that silence is not necessarily rejection. It's like a thin wall, not to push others away, but to try to see who is patient enough to approach.

My job

|

A sidewalk coffee morning, where world news is updated faster than online newspapers. The left table analyzes celebrity divorces in detail like private lawyers; the right table discusses macroeconomics even though the wallet is "negative macro" from the 20th. And he is struggling with his own deadline. That contrast is ridiculous, when we are often engrossed in being "directors" for other people's lives but leave our own scripts unfinished.
