It's been a long while since I last found inspiration to write a classic rant like this. Writing such things always make me feel so delighted, so hopefully, I'll have more chances to write these.
Today, I was lucky enough to get a free ride in my uncle's car. Finding myself the quietest corner in the back of the car, sitting alone and indulging in my current favourite song with my earphones, I was able to make some observations, feeling extremely relaxed. The car passed through some highways, where through the car window, I was able to see the spectacular night view of Hong Kong. Even though it wasn't the famous Victoria Harbour, the view captivated me. There's always something magical about places at night.
I don't know if it's because of the darkness, or because of the silence, night sceneries never fail to delight me. It's always full of wonder. There's always the bright lights shining out from buildings and streetlights, giving such a dreamy feeling. Perhaps that's the stunning point of big cities, the overwhelming brightness among absolute black skies. Some of the lights shining bright yellow, some white, together they create this mysterious scenery in front of me.
And then I imagine, what is going on near the sources of light? I wish I could go everywhere, listen to the stories going on there. That's how I'm like, thinking about so much just by seeing a simple bit of night view. There are so many stories of so many people going on, right now, none of them seem to have anything to do with me. It makes me wonder, how is it like to live in others' lives? Is it depressing, or will it fill me with pure happiness? If there's pain in someone right now, I'd want to feel it too. What is this feeling?
As much as I love watching the night view from a peaceful place, it makes me feel lonely. The city is definitely an interesting and exciting place, but watching it makes me feel disconnected from it. It's better described as a extreme feeling of loneliness. I feel that amidst this beauty of the city at night, perhaps there are sad events occurring right now. What if I were to live in this city all by myself, not knowing one single person, what connection do I have with this city?
Nights are such amusing things. The first moment I see night sceneries, the beauty surprises me, and I squeal with delight. Then, maybe it's just me, but I always think about so much things. It's such a calming thing to watch, but then it also makes me feel somewhat saddened, and maybe that's the wonder of it.
Excuse me for being such a weirdo, associating so many things. Ideas keep popping up in my mind while calmly watching the view outside me. I guess... I am just such a weird person.
