Youth is a period of transition, a state of unpredictability, and the bridge of transience which draws a predetermined childhood to a looming adulthood. Every young person faces comparable trials pertaining to identity, society and occupation. Liyan wants to sneak in a few shots of individuality and distinctiveness into his own youthful pursuits; exploring the faint inkling of an idea which he has had since he was a child. If his search for purpose alone was to be fulfilled, he might be dealing better with his current anxiety problems. But there are other distilled spirits he is obliged to swallow. Over time, his choices have proven to be inharmonious and incongruous. The clash which arose between his parents and him, regarding his ambiguous political aspirations, over two years ago, had inflicted him with such sorrow that he began doubting who he was, in the duration of an impossible hangover. The aftereffects of which continue to plague him. Swarmed by perplexing questions of collective and existential loneliness that cause him severe mental fatigue and flame his insecurities to their limits, he is lured into a dead, consensual embrace with time, in wait for an unpromised compensation like a drugged man. How can he return to being in control of himself from his passive submission to this despondency? He needs to relearn all that he had recognised as part of his core long ago, and unlearn the parasitic tendencies he keeps giving into. There are no definite instructions to be followed and discerning the course of consequences is always left to be experienced by the host.
Dear Child, stay beneath the boughs of shelter;
Stay awhile, until you can no more.
It shall not be your will but your fortune
That which inclines you outdoors.
When you stray towards your own path,
Unaided and wary,
Indifferent to the ways of the world,
There will be no time to question;
No qualms to settle
Between open liberty and cultural order.
But where experience lies stagnant,
Constraint and loneliness take root.

Tatouie: There wasn’t anything I didn’t like except maybe more of a finality to the European Charter that was up to no good. I feel like they wouldn’t have left so quietly. Otherwise loved the story, great rhythm can’t wait to read more books.

Obsidian: He's hilarious. Like, actually. I loved it. You're writing style is great, although you could do with a few less murmurs and mutters. I know it sounds critical, but I have the same problem and I hate it. Overall, it was one of the best stories I've read on here so far. I liked it better than those M...
