My Gray-and-White World

(Aiming for something closer to real life, with less melodrama and no angst.) After we parted, the crushing sense of loss somehow brought me relief. Maybe it was time to put an end to this mediocre life of mine. On a whim, I sold the apartment my parents had left me in the capital and settled in a southwestern plateau province.

I thought I'd start a new life here. After more than twenty years of living at a frantic pace, from the day I was born until now, it was about time I tried a slower way of life.
