It's still early, we're still young Fiction
It's still early, we're still young

Those heart-wrenching sounds of despair, in the late nights when sleep eludes us and in the early mornings when dreams startle us awake, float in the whistling warm air of the air conditioner, mingling with the tendrils of smoke. Leaning against the bedside, accompanied by the flickering glow of a smartphone screen, drifting with the music, reminiscing about the times of deep affection easily betrayed, it seems like I have done something wrong, yet not done anything wrong, constantly oscillating between self-doubt and self-approval. Even if I become carefree, when someone slaps you on the left cheek, I cannot offer my right cheek as well. Regardless of career and relationships, I have taken steps, and I have steps left, which I decide to reserve for my self-respect. In an age where everyone pushes the fallen walls, we must each fend for ourselves. True emotions have never been able to hold on, only tactics can win people's hearts.
