曠野中才能獨處
Only in certain far away places can you taste true solitude.
🏕
First and foremost, I’d like to thank Andrew Wu and Jerry Wu for being great comrades. It was so refreshing to get out of the hustle and bustle of the so-called “modern, developed world”. It had been over 20 years since I had camped out in nature. People who know me understand that I love being in tune with sunlight and nature via hiking and other outdoor activities, and I’m pretty much always willing to push the envelope, but camping by a stream or river in unpleasantly cold conditions remained unfamiliar to me. Even though it was considered glamping and not hardcore camping, I figured I would still share some notes from my introspection of the experience (please feel free to agree or disagree):
🏕
• Both pleasurable experiences AND painful experiences are used by the man upstairs to help shape your life. Both wonderful people AND difficult people are also used to mold you.
🏕
• The temperature dropped to nearly 0 degrees Celsius during the evening. Being out there in the cold, with only a few garments of clothing and a few layers of fabric to make it bearable was not exactly “comfortable”.
🏕
• Whatever life throws at you, find a way to embrace it. Being out there with a limited selection and amof food options was not “convenient”, but it naturally nudges you to look on the bright side of things and be grateful for having things to eat at all. 🏕
• Being out of the comfort zone with limited material goods puts things in perspective. You find that “things” one normally believes to be essential are not necessarily “must haves” at all. As a result, there’s a certain sense of peace and contentment that comes along with this realization.
🏕
• EXPERIMENT and TEST. Swim out to the ship as opposed to waiting for it to come in, so to speak. By putting down one’s pride, one can stretch their curiosity and empathy muscles, and be willing to try new things.
🏕
• Life is hard for one of two reasons. Either because we are out of the comfort zone, or because we remain in it.
🏕
• Try spending more time reaching for things other than phone.

CONCRETE JUNGLE WHERE DREAMS ARE MADE OF

Social media makes us feel like shit at times and somehow others always seem to have their shit together. Don't you at least for once wonder where your life's strayed away from the norms presented to you through people's picture perfect lives? It's toxic but you can't look away and feel your pride has taken multiple hits afterwards.

Growing up I had this issue of self-worth haunting me night and day. Don't get me wrong I am still consciously struggling to love myself even now. But things are looking better. Cuz I never stop trying despite the constant thought I am rubbish. You may find it ridiculous how I am so agitated by the thought of inconveniencing others with my dumb questions. I should research and come up with answers to them myself or just shut up altogether and be tormented by my own stupidity. It is no less of an extreme case. My personality, that is.

One time my friend and I got lost in the middle of nowhere in the rural Southern Vietnam. But the greatest me would still rather bury my face in Google Maps to figure out our exit than chase the rare sight of a local passing by on the roadside. I could have had us real bad but I still did not relent. Perhaps I would be the weak one to be weeded out in troubled times.

Sometimes I can't help fantasizing about a parallel universe where timid, shy, reserved would be erased without a trace in my mental dictionary. I could amass nonsensical confidence without a slightest idea what strength I possess. I could hustle my way to the top in a finger snap. Isn't that how the Kardashian did it? Admiration max level! That's a different kind of talent unbeknownst to rigid people like me.

One's often advised to hang around the rich or smart to become rich or smart, respectively. But a skeptical me would ask, why would those people with social power resort to hanging with us? It's every man for himself in this cruel world. Don't they wanna seek more influential people to hang with as well? Why bother with the bottom of the pyramid?

But I still want to be worthy of such relationships. I want to bring something to the table so that it's a two-way street. I might not have the wits but I could become interesting in my own way and humor them with my stories. It's not sustainable to be the only one receiving and absorbing knowledge. At least that's my two cents.

I guess my point is I am getting better at asking for help as I feel like the current me could return part of the favor. And that little piece of confidence came from the fruit of my efforts to continuously find my niche and upgrade myself. Only you can save yourself. With cues and nudges from the universe, you will get to where you belong eventually. So does my low self-esteem really matter if it pushes me to strive for new heights? I might never know.

Never settle. Keep dreaming.

Love,

P.S. my selfie game is weak.

Episode 131, A Textual Analysis
===============================
We open with Char sitting too close to the screen who goes on to tell Bell not to sit to close to the screen. In the background is Purple Pony - not sitting too close to the screen and the only blameless character in this entire story. Bell ignores mom's instruction and makes a virtue of sitting too close to the screen by pulling faces. She gets so close she accidentally nudges the camera.
[The opening "Hi" was from later in the VOD and got pulled to the front to set up Char to fail.]

As Bell runs out of and back into shot, we get the first hint of the cooped-up energy that will power the following drama. A misunderstanding occurs between touching and moving - in the literal interpretation of a three year old, accidentally touching the cam isn't deliberately moving it. The potential for conflict increases.

Char rightly involves Bell in her hair drying choices and the shot finishes on Purple Pony exhibiting an expression that tells us what it takes to survive in this household; Pony's seen things we people wouldn't believe.

Char is attacked by her own domestic appliance, makes an appeal for sympathy but gets a wide Pony grin. She puts on a brave face, Bell attempts her first strangulation then possesses the stream, Char gives her first 'not like this' speech explaining why Bell and chores don't mix. Bell proves she and chores don't mix by jumping on freshly folded laundry which fully triggers Char leading to Act 2.

Act 2 - full Bell meltdown. Char's ultra-mom skills birth Bell off the bed and slowly out of the world of pain she created for herself but she's still full of "no". Char counters with breathing, hugging and drinking but Bell responds by banning her from talking to Chat. Char deploys an entire bookshelf plus water plus science in what is rapidly becoming turn based combat then Bell makes a fatal mistake. Instead of banning mommy from making animal noises she instead bans Chat from reading a book we can't see anyway (well, she is only three!). Bell is slowly running out of "no", Char corners her into talking about her feelings (scary, am I right fellas?).

Act3 - age check, strangle #2 and Bell's in possession again. Char counters with "hug" but Bell cruelly starts to follow her knowing full well mommy's got more used to losing followers than gaining them. Bed incursion and the stream is knocked flat, Char enters the fray but Bell kicks clean over her to floor the stream again - our vision's blurred: medic!. Then Bell shows how she did it by kicking her mommy but it's too late: we lost this one Chat. A knockout, two falls or a submission, them's the rules. Game over.
