Treat others how you would like to be treated.

That's a principle I learned many, many years ago. Originally its meaning intended to discourage kids from bullying one another and to encourage them to treat each other nicely.

Ultimately, my favourite kind of love is still 'sweet love', the love that is raw and fresh! The love that is new and unexplored. That's adapting, that's anticipating, that's sweet and romantic!

Dou hai gong fan gor goe. Tum har ngor la, hol ma?

I'll wait.

And yet I cannot escape the mist of doubt, of fear and of sadness.
I am afraid.
I am so afraid.

And my birthday began and ended as one. Shrouded in uncertain tears.
