In my head, I know for sure that none of it really matters, but I still feel despair when my parents complain about my grades and cherry pick friends’ children with stellar grades to make me feel bad.
I can’t escape my parents and the world they try to force on me (i.e. the rat race against other Chinese kids for more and more marks on an exam), at least not before I get a degree so that I can earn enough money to move out. For now, I’ll have to spend so much time and resources on cultivating my inner world to be so rich and vast that my heart is convinced that the rat race isn’t real.
Good bye YouTube (at least the non-weird part). Goodbye Quora.
Goodbye real world.
