City on the Sea
A few months ago, I was contemplating putting the shutters on this website for good and making another website basically the same as this one, but without any proper nouns — that is, instead of calling a place by its name, I'd describe it instead. The city of Shanghai became "the city on the sea", an idea I got/stole from the author Mian Mian. I only wrote one post, North and South. I promised more posts of a similar nature in its last sentence, but in the end I returned here and City on the Sea has remained dormant.
I've been suspicious for quite a while that I’m in a rut and have stopped developing, but rereading this has made me realize how much my thinking about so many things has changed over the course of this seemingly uneventful summer. Maybe someday I’ll be able to put those changes into words.
Without further ado, I present North and South here on saddleblasters for the first time.
