Hello! Welcome to Oyasumi World!

Oyasumi World is a personal blog that documents my learning, thinking, and experiences across different fields at different times. Here you can find:

Preface

Personal blogs seemed popular in the early days of the internet more than a decade ago. In this era, without traffic and big data recommendation mechanisms, few people will ever see this blog (if you happen to visit, then we are quite fated 😉). So, this blog is less about sharing with others, and more about a personal answer sheet for myself.

A person's life may span several decades, which is a trivial number in the long river of history, but for an individual, it is a long and emotional journey. Yet I am surprised to find that in my first twenty years, large chunks of memory are blank. If you suddenly ask me what I was doing or feeling at a certain time, I might frown in confusion, with only a few scattered fragments in my mind. Only then did I truly realize: people do not live a whole lifetime, nor years, months, or days, but only a few moments.

However, I believe people are fluid beings, and those fleeting thoughts or emotions in past moments are precious parts of us, though they vanish like morning dew. So, I want to be the manager of my own mind, collecting sudden ideas in time and placing them where they belong. Decades later, when I look back at these words in old age, maybe I'll smile and sigh: I had so many childish thoughts back then!

I often feel the world is upside down: a single standard flattens three-dimensional people, and extreme meritocracy makes human value monotonous. I am often bound by this, anxious, confused, and pained for my "future." But I firmly believe we all need moments to daydream, to space out, to think about meaningless things. This year I am twenty, in the golden age of my life, and I want to use keen perception to touch a diverse world, let my thoughts wander, and meet all kinds of lovely people and things. Since I can't "land ashore," I'll just keep swimming, until the silt settles and the sea turns blue.
