Diary - 日记本 by Diyang Zhou

日记本

 

日记本

是要记怕想不起来的事

还是要记能想的起来的事

 

会遗忘的事没必要回忆

真正印象深刻的事也没必要记下

模棱两可的事残留在日记本上

反倒混乱了

 

日记就是杂乱无章

像世界一样

该要遗忘的自然会被遗忘

该会注意到的自然会被注意到

 

日记是一个人杂乱的世界

世界是一群人杂乱的日本

 

Diary

 

Is a diary used to record something that may not be recalled any more,

Or used to record something that can be recalled in the future?

 

The ephemeral things do not need to be recalled (for the pettiness deserves to be forgotten)

The impressive things do not need to be recalled either (for these essential things cannot be forgotten)

We recorded the ambiguity between the soon-to-be-forgotten and the never-ever-to-be forgotten

And by this way,

We messed up our memories in our diaries

 

Diary is the collection of chaos,

Like the world,

Something insignificant will be forgotten anyway

Something attentive will naturally catch our attentions

 

Diary is the chaotic world of a man

World is the chaotic diaries of the men
