In the winter of 2022, it was the longest winter I've ever experienced. Looking back, I often confined myself to the bathroom, smoking, drinking, and watching movies. I could spend hours there. Time felt like an extra gift, or perhaps a pause. I confidently deceived myself, ignoring the troubling matters outside, sneering inside, and enjoying the surplus of time; escaping the stillness of time.
2022年冬， 是我过的最漫长的冬天，回想起那时候我经常把自己困在厕所里，抽烟，喝酒，看电影。我可以在那里呆上几个小时。时间像是额外赠送的一样，又或者，像休止了一样。我放心大胆的欺骗者自己无需理会外面的烦心事，在里面窃笑着。
我在厕所里享受着时间的停止却也逃避着时间的停止。
