A Shut-In Wants to Pursue a Big Shot

It's simply a popular unrequited-love story, or perhaps just an imagining by someone gazing at a dog. I'm publishing it in keeping with my original intention of writing a novel, to find peace with myself, or perhaps to let it all pass. People have to look ahead. Don't keep grieving over the past and what is gone. In the end, you have to let go of your obsession. The idea for this story came from my dreams. Every scene seemed wonderful to me, and sometimes I even felt like Zhuang Zhou dreaming he was a butterfly. My writing may be a bit rough, but at least I've got courage. I thought of writing this unrequited-love story after a girl recently sent a long message to the person she had a crush on. It made me think of my own pride and self-importance: I neither act nor let go.
