19. I want to arrive in this northwestern Russian City, the cool summer St Petersburg of my fantasy for more than 19 years.

17. A tired-looking boy limps into the classroom, his bag full of books.
An angry man storms out of the house, with his wife following him by.
A limping man smiling after coming out of the coffeeshop.

13. In front of me was a flashing series of my own life that seemed to grow complicated as years go by. And as I stared at it, I told myself that I can't just sit down and let my life go like that. I have to decide on my own future. 

Time never stands still for you. But sometimes, you wish that you could just slow down time when you want to savour the moment. Or speed up time when something is just too boring. 

But sometimes, it just happens to me. Like when I'm smoking. Inhaling the smoke and when I finally exhale it out, everything seem so slow. Every word somebody was saying, every car that was passing by, every heart beat you could feel, "lub dub lub dub". And then suddenly time goes back to normal and suddenly everything feels normal again. 

That's when you know you have to stub out your cigarette. You crack your knuckles, breathe in deeply and just sip the coffee right in front of you.

That satisfaction cost me 50 cents.

when watching movies, you are so sick with happy endings but sometimes we should see the true side of life. you can have one moment of happiness and then it can fade away.

When you’re born you get a ticket to a bullshit show. When you're in drama, you get a front-row seat.
