Living & Style

Fashion is not just for runways or celebrities — it’s everyday culture, shaping how we express ourselves and how society evolves. From subways to street corners, our choices in clothing are a living language of identity, belonging, and even resistance. This piece explores why fashion matters to everyone, showing how it mirrors history, forecasts cultural shifts, and quietly weaves itself into our daily lives.

We all carry discomfort—restlessness, fatigue, doubts we can’t name.
Some drown it in work, others in wealth or beauty.

This essay is about how discomfort isn’t our enemy, but a quiet teacher.

This piece was first written and published on my Chinese blog ten years ago. I’ve kept it unchanged—every word, every raw edge—because it carries the spark of where it all began. Today, I share it again, not as nostalgia, but as a reminder of how growth can honor its own roots.
