Thoughts in Bonsai: One Hundred Eighty-Eight

1. Sometimes, let even your dearest person
remain in their sadness.
Don't keep prodding if they don't want you to.
Every person has the right to remain sad.

2. I go and sit at the exact same spot
on the hillside every evening.
And keep waiting
for the sky to become like my heart.

3. Come, let's run away.
Whatever else may or may not happen,
we must live!

4. A relationship without mystery
doesn't take long to break.

5. Once we fall asleep,
we each become
inhabitants of different worlds.

6. If you asked me
to choose only one thing,
I would choose peace.

7. In the end, those who do well
are the ones who know how to live by letting go of what they love.

8. If you annoy someone so much
that they're forced to block you,
know this: you only have a phone,
not a shred of shame.
Of course, you can buy a phone with just some money.

9. I cannot live without listening to music.
Nothing else in this world
cares about my feelings!

10. Don't think I only love myself.
I'm truly not selfish;
I am, in fact, alone.

11. Certain moments come in life
that, even though they're happening for the first time,
feel as if the moment had come before.

12. It doesn't take much to prove yourself senseless—
just call a complete stranger
three or more times in a row for your own needs.
By stranger, I mean someone who doesn't know you.

13. Most of those we give our time to
are of no use to us.
Very few people understand this simple truth unless they face trouble.

14. : If you could arrange your life from the beginning, exactly as you wanted, what would you want to do?
: Ah, if only I could speak a little less and give others more chance to speak!

15. Try to behave a little better.
Otherwise, I won't be around even to make this request.

16. I like thinking about you.
Even when I think
you're saying terrible things about me to others,
... I still like it.

17. No, you're not lying.
But you're telling the truth exactly
in the way it pleases you to tell it.

18. Come, let's have mutton biryani anyway.
Surely the taste of biryani is better than extra years of life.

19. Some people are always angry.
They think nobody understands them.
Yet they don't try to understand
that unless absolutely forced, no one goes near an angry person.
In this world, people have many better things to do than tolerate others' anger.

20. Those who know how to love deeply
cannot express that love properly, no matter how hard they try.
The less love one has, the more one displays it.
