What disgusted her was not the ugliness of the world, but the beautiful mask worn by the world

Beautiful Mask

🎭🖤🌫️ What disgusted her was not the ugliness of the world, but the beautiful mask worn by the world. (The Unbearable Lightness of Being) // 令她反感的,远不是世界的丑陋,而是这个世界所戴的漂亮面具。–《不能承受的生命之轻》 Lìng tā fǎngǎn de, yuǎn bùshì shìjiè de chǒulòu, ér shì zhège shìjiè suǒ dài de piàoliang miànjù.–“Bùnéng chéngshòu de shēngmìng zhī qīng” // Lệnh tha phản cảm đích, […]

When you reduce your life to black and white, you can't see the rainbow

Life In Color

🌈🖤⚪ When you reduce your life to black and white, you can’t see the rainbow. // 当你把生活变成黑白,就看不到彩虹了。 Dāng nǐ bǎ shēnghuó biàn chéng hēibái, jiù kàn bù dào cǎihóngle. // Đương nhĩ bả sinh hoạt biến thành hắc bạch, tựu khán bất đáo thải hồng liễu. // Khi bạn biến cuộc sống của mình thành […]

Sitting Alone

[I’d rather be sitting here / Cũng là ngồi, nhưng muốn ngồi ở đây] 🏞️🌬️🍃 Sitting alone, mind often strays, Emotions linger, thoughts in a daze. Clouds enshroud the mountain’s base, Wind howls through the valley’s space. // 独坐常忽忽, 情怀何悠悠。 山腰云缦缦, 谷口风飕飕。 Dú zuò cháng hūhū, Qínghuái hé yōuyōu. Shānyāo yún màn màn, Gǔkǒu fēng […]

I never know how natural it is to let it go, but I know how realistic reality is

How Realistic

🌿🌊🌞 I never know how natural it is to let it go, but I know how realistic reality is. // 我从不知道顺其自然有多自然,但我知道现实有多现实。 Wǒ cóng bù zhīdào shùn qí zìrán yǒu duō zìrán, dàn wǒ zhīdào xiànshí yǒu duō xiànshí. ​​​​​​​​ // Ngã tòng bất tri đạo thuận kỳ tự nhiên hữu đa tự nhiên, đãn ngã […]
