“When you look at the sky, what is the first thing that springs to mind? The fluffy clouds, taking shape of a favourite animal? Or a complaint, coz the darkest of dark cloud are rolling in the distance as you hang out your laundry?

What? Me? You want to know what I think of when I look at the sky? Haha! You will find my answer quite boring! I would rather not! What? You insist? Well, if you say so. But don’t say I didn’t warn you!

When I look at the sky, I think of how everyone is connected. When you look up, a stranger is also looking up. In a way, you and that stranger is connected by the same sky. Funny, isn’t it? How a simple blue dome could connect everyone no matter how far apart they are.

That’s why I like looking at the sky! I feel like I’m watching it with someone! I could pretend that I’m watching animal-shaped clouds with someone, or complain about the weather with another stranger! It makes me feel less…!

Less…..

Lonely….

Ahem! As I said! My answer is boring! You should feel quite bored right now! What? You want to know if I’m always alone? Why yes! I’m always alone! But that doesn’t mean I’m not happy! I’m happiest when I’m alone! I can do whatever I want without people judging!

…..

…..

Who am I kidding? I won’t deny that I do feel happy when I’m alone. But sometimes, I wish I could share this happiness with someone…. Is there anyone out there, someone who I can share this happiness with?

Where are my manners? My name is Kou Yun. Fancy meeting you!”
