Rosa tells me of a word in Russian, быт, pronounced bytʹ. The Internet translates it as “everyday life”, but it really means something more melancholy, the drudgey underbelly of existence.

Kitsch 媚俗，是一種更低階的藝術形式
When something has meaning, it becomes work.
When something is meaningless, it becomes play.
要Work還是要Play?
由於我是很早起來
現在變得愈來愈早睡覺
然後又愈來愈早起來
感覺這樣早起其實也是一種熬夜
不知道需不需要改善
或者就是面對這個現實
