Something that makes you angry and what you’d do to change it.

Others will never feel my pain. Even the closest person, parents, lovers, friends, and that person, the one you've always liked.
Noticing my friend, A, was an accident. Maybe it was the same trait between us, or maybe he had a moral character I didn't have, the net which symbolized that our relationship was gradually weaving.
I was eager to establish a deeper connection with him. In order to achieve this goal, I always accompanied him and listened to him when he was sad. To be honest, I am a person who is easy empathic and always bring myself into his position, which makes me very painful and suffering. Nevertheless, I thought everything worth it when I see him in a better mood.
I naively thought he would do the same thing when I was sad.
But apparently, the situation I expected did not appear. One day, I encountered something bad and was eager to talk to him about it. After listening, he was so indifferent that he even thought I made a mountain out of a molehill.
At that moment, I felt nausea for a while, and there was a sense of loneliness mixed with injustice and unwillingness. I think this is the feeling of anger, gray, fuzzy powerlessness and the feeling of hope that he will disappear.
All I did was alienate him and the net represented our relationship gradually melted over time.

• Something you really believe in
I believe that everything has two sides. I used to be an extreme and stubborn person, thinking that many things are unalterable. This made me make a lot of wrong decisions, and my thinking became limited, which affected my learning and design.
When I found that things can be viewed dialectically and critically, I found that my thinking was broadened, some things I didn't understand in the past can make sense, and my character has become more inclusive, which has been of great help to my study and design, especially during research, making my design richer and expressing views more powerful.

• Something a wise friend or relative told you
A smart friend of mine told me that people should learn to face their hearts. Sometimes people close their hearts because of shame and dogma. Although people can regulate their words and deeds through these. From her perspective, too much adherence to this view will lead to blind conformity, even letting human being become mediocre and losing their own personality characteristics. When you want to find these precious things that belong to you, you will find that your mind is solidified, and your idea has no bright spot.
What's more, disobeying the original intention will cause serious anxiety. Blindly imitating others will cause an invisible competition. Of course, it's no problem to learn and absorb the merits.
As a student studying design, her point of view inspired me a lot. My design does not need to cater to market. The most important thing is that my work can perfectly convince myself, only when i am confident can the work have strong personal characteristics.
