EL: Loneliness
She said:“Before I met him, I seldom felt lonely in my life.
“After I met him, I felt how lonely I used to be before.
“Now he died, I feel so lonely in this big big world full of so many people.”
I patted her head . I guess what she lost is not just a husband, but also another “myself”.
But at least she is lucky to meet another “myself”. So many people walk through their whole life and still can not meet the another “myself”. However, she has met, though her another “myself” has died..
“Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach me." Read it somewhere.
I guess most of us have already said enough, but the other half still can not reach us.

And, if somebody feel that already said enough but the other half still can not reach her/him... well, I guess that it's mainly because of the content of "the said". lol. JMO, anyway.
hi mick. actually i read that sentence in somebody's profile. you know whose profile it is.
I guess one of us have already said enough.....
Hi Janmei, no idea where you could have found it ...
Quite touched about loneliness. I have to admit.
Hehe, your conversation with Mick... seem that there is some secrets around that I don’t know. OK. Let me myself discover it as I also have a bit free time now.
It more about her beautiful love to her husband and his love to her. BUT, anyway, I think I can feel the loneliness from her if just read up to... “Now he died, I feel so lonely in this big big world full of so many people.”... this kind of lonely, I think I can imagine about it.
this sentence is not what she said. i just read this sentence somewhere and feel it is beautiful and think that it grasps the gist i want to express in this blog.
I will keep that in mind.
yan she said:
zài wo yù dào ta zhi qián, wo cóng lái bú jué de gu dú.
zài wo yù dào ta zhi hòu, wo jué de wo cóng qián shì duo me de gu dú.
xiàn zài ta lí kai wo le, wo jué dé cóng wèi you guò de gu dú.
These are very profound words...thank you!
but the wording would different, just something like this:
“Before I met her, I never felt lonely before.
“After we broke up, I never felt lonely either and I cherish
every moment in this big big world full of so many people.”
Normally half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that
the other half may reach me.
Not this time .This time all I say is meaningfull and I say it so
that all could reach her
I guess most of us have already said enough, and luckily that
other half still can not reach us.
you know I have to say something meaningless from time to time....
just to keep in shape
To be honest, I can only speak Cantonese but I can not type its pronunciation like what you type here. Just like I can speak my hometown dialect but I can not type its pronunciation. Your typing is correct, but I don’t know whether you can pronounce it correctly. … I learnt Cantonese at 5, by watching many Cantonese cartoons in TVB.. ha ha.
Hi mick.. wow.. you are a poet!!
I hope I can learn you, “After we broke up, I never felt lonely either and I cherish every moment in this big big world full of so many people.” but actually…
Well, I guess I have already said enough recently. I talked a lot to other people, other people talked a lot to me too, but the one I care about does not talk to me anymore.
Hugh.. It is always good to see you. Like your new blog. What is the secret?
OK, I got it.
And I was thinking about those she wrote...
If I'm corrected, then, I think I had already read something similar to that from somewhere long time... on a book or story... I can't remember exactly, but as long as I think about it as much as I feel is quite familiar... I'm a bit curious to know the author... anyway, I confirm again that gave up to discover the secret lol
Goodnight!
i hope you won't be deleted by cs. because you seem to be as popular as CT or jim or Easywriter (who is easywriter?)
