Blue Rainy Sunday

Posted in: # Love of the Aegean Sea | 2021 posts | blog images | Happy Sunday | Reading

When I woke up today, I felt like this: "Hmmm... maybe I don't wanna read that anymore [today]..."

I was this close to abandoning "Love of the Aegean Sea" novel again. So... I finished it this morning. Phew. I started re-reading this in 2016, lost the mood to read it for years and picked it up again this year. 

It's weird reading this after so many years. Now my way of thinking is different from before and I feel that I appreciate Yao Xiang more now. 

Some other things I learnt from reading this again:
- Long distance relationship is scary. It might or might not work.
- Take care of your health. 
- Be honest. Like seriously. If you only see someone as family, please don't give them hopes. 
- Keeping everything inside is not healthy. When those feelings burst out, it will be scary... especially for others.
- The more you hold back from wanting something, the more you want it.
- I'm so rusty. Forgot how to read some chinese characters.
- I need to do more piano practice. *sigh*

This photo on the back cover is a big lie XD
*In the novel, they never met like this in Greece*
