Cruel Aesthetics

Remember when we were kids and we were lonely because we didn’t have  friends? Now that we’ve grown up, loneliness is much worse than it was  when we were younger. […] I  only have one question: if we love someone so much, how could we take it  if they passed away? […] You know the answer, Tong. Is it really  possible to love someone and not be afraid of losing them? At the same  time, I wonder if we could live… without loving another person at all. That’s  my loneliness. I’ve lived with it for five years. I know how bad it  feels. And it only gets worse.
