A letter to Shadow

饼干糖

Dear Shadow,
    Do you know what kind of person you really belong to? I, sometimes, feel that I just like a beast standing alone on a huge stone in the wild and howling. But my howling can not reach anyone’s ears, for the melancholy sound of the wind swallows up everything. I know I am a little disconsolate, a little cynical and a little resentful. Would not everyone be like this in his or her life when troubles come to knock the door of sadness?
    I am trying to standing on a rolling ball like the clown does. But as the ball keeps on rolling, I fall down all the time.
    “Don’t cry, my friend. Just try again.” You said.
    I know. Anyhow I will wipe my tears to ensure that no one can see my tearing face. But before I carry on being brave, can I just let myself cry out loudly?
    Recently I love lifting up my head and staring at the sky. Sometimes there are birds fly over my head, and the plastic bags drifting in the air. While in the evening I would like to look at the myriad glittering stars, talk to the moon, or just gaze at the gloomy sky.
    When I am tired, these boring things will make me refresh.
    I am quite sure that I am not the only one who is an eccentric in this city. There may be someone behaves like me. The mere sight of sky can give us magical pleasure. Perhaps I do not have the chance to come across him or her, I know exactly how he or she feels.
    Thanks for listening, my dear friend.
                                                         
                                                          Yours,
                                                               Debby

These words remind me of my high school years. I was eccentric, maybe, to those classmates, which I didn't know until the day we faced graduation and one of them gave me kind words as follows:

"I do not know what has happened in your world, yet I think it's up to me to tell you that, in the sea of humanity, souls are looking for their soul-mates. And you are going to find your soul-mates, who are also looking for you now. Nobody is alone in this world in this sense."
