Daring to ‘ask’ is a luxury, and being able to ‘give’ is even more so. Living in the moment, speaking sincerely, dare you? I love my inability to be everywhere at once, yet I also resent it. To keep a bit of solitude in ME TIME, feeling inconceivable when seemingly having everything. Unable to remove the ‘not envying others’ Trojan from the soul. Defining a simple relationship turns out not to be an elementary question. Suddenly missing the painful moments of loving someone when being loved. After listening to a song, being able to like oneself a little more is such a luxury! Learning to breathe well in one’s life is already difficult. It’s not about being ungrateful, but rather about valuing what I have. Over time, some things suddenly become a luxury, such as becoming a singer like Xu Jiayin. Hiding the ones you’ve loved in songs, publicly knowing secrets. Writing the ones you’ve hated into songs, making you cry and laugh while listening. Not worrying about silence, because there’s always someone’s story to continue, in order to understand love, to be candidly restless, jealous, and vulnerable. Self-loathing is an inspiration, like painfully adding an egg to breakfast. Releasing an album every five years is almost like being late and oversleeping! Having nothing more to say to the world, yet still expecting to be understood by one person. In a complex era, how can we easily calculate and answer simple touches? The initial heart that brings both pain and joy is ultimately the most deserving to be cherished. She says it’s waste, yet she is content, because being able to give is a gain. A quasi-celebrity with a masterpiece, never starting on equal footing when singing. Writer Huang Liqun writes in the book ‘Feeling a Bit of Luxury’, ‘Never pleasing others’ is the utmost luxury of being human.’ For singer Xu Jiayin, being able to sing in front of you, to move you, to accompany you, and to make you like yourself a little more, is the luxury she cherishes the most at this moment.
