Emotionally immature people tend towards loneliness, they hold high opinions of themselves, they themselves stand out, and any problems that may occur are inevitably someone else's fault. It is evident that this is not the case with "I." Instead of attributing blame, he suffers in silence, and when introducing himself uses clichés such as 'dull,' 'average,' 'plain,' 'Capricorn, blood type A.' Yet, upon reading the argument with the "Boss'" private secretary, we realise again that life has been very tough on him. Just because he eats, for example animal cookies, doesn't mean he's childish.

It's just some random text i came by when searching for some article by Murakami
...well maybe it explains one of the reasons why i love Murakami Haruki
the jazzy slow and mundane picture of life
everything looks normal yet different
pple occupied w mundane thoughts of how to make a living yet deep down inside, something is always moving, transforming, screaming
emptiness or whatever fleeting thoughts they hold
When people act and live normally, it does nt mean that they just live on without having to contemplating on life and meanings
It works the same way when pple look immature yet alr having spent through all sorts of experience
you dont need to act depressed or sound depressed to actually be depressed
that's what i always hold to myself and somehow strive forward hahah
dunnno if what i said really makes sense at all
bt somehow i do feel the loss and emptiness in Murakami's novel
mayb i'm one of those pple standing in front of the crossroads of life without any orientation
only one thing in my mind now. at least ^^
that is to experience the life in Japan
and sth much more childish, being able to attend my beloved idol's concert XD
Ohchan ni aitai kara ~
sore dake
ima ha
and season is changing soon
it'll be winter soon ...
and Japan ~~~
listening to this song to feel my longing for tasting the seasons....
sakura petals never fail to grasp me
@pic: Ohchan ...anna ni kawaii XD <3
