Beautiful! Do you have more? My need is unlimited. Short ones are preferred as I'm going to share with S and a long quote hurts his brain. Thank you so much!

Just so happens I feel like ranting about this.
Be me, wee kid and none the wiser, this shit tasted heavenly. Fast forward to late teenage years, finally learned what that dish really is then started avoiding it dish like a plague. My disgust reached its final form when I got older and found out it's dubbed "raw blood pudding" in English. Bravo, I guess? Simply couldn't be outdone.
The original Viet name didn't quite do it for me you see, it only started to sink in then. I mean, consistency, viscosity, and texture wise? Pretty text book pudding for sure. Hell, if I'd never had it before and my nose was coincidentally plugged up that day, then you busted it out claiming it's "raspberry pudding with hazelnuts" or some shit, I would have believed you. Anyway, the point is realizing it's in the same category as say caramel pudding - a rather innocent and straightforward dish (that's otherwise loved by most btw). Now that, that definitely gives me the heebie jeebies.
So yeah, health risks aside, the ingredients alone made damn sure I'd never touch that dish again with a ten foot pole, raw or cooked (okay maybe the latter is passable). One of those "ignorance is bliss" moments in my life if I'm being honest.

Haha such an amusing piece! Language is so magic, yet deceptive.

I have a lot more. My favourite author is Steven Erikson, but I know that you won't want to read 2 paragraph long of quote, so I just pick some short ones above. And beware, I am on my laptop today, so the amount shall be bigger.

I relate so much to this quote, "Wholeness, she had learned, was not the absence of pain but the ability to hold it."
There are never too many. Thank you very much for sharing them.

Oh...oh...it's true if I were a man.

Dear honey.
I pray that in your world, every day is a beautiful day. Even if you forget to bring an umbrella, you still say to yourself: "I want to get wet today!" When the sun dispels the dark clouds, you are always radiant.
I hope you grow up not by force. Learn to laugh without speaking, admit but don't believe, learn to understand people's hearts are endless. I know you're a hot-tempered person but take it easy and everything will be fine, don't rush.
I wish you luck always. Always be grateful for life, love the good things, and also love yourself. You smiled brightly, very beautiful.
I hope you keep yourself strong but also keep a little soft. Kindness must follow principles, feelings also need to be limited. For those who are unpleasant, you must repay both capital and interest, but be strong and do not lose etiquette...
I hope you don't skip petty, don't go easy on yourself. If you want to have the right to choose in the future, from right now, you must try to learn and absorb. All the things you do are not for anyone, so don't find excuses for all the consequences, you have to be responsible it yourself.
I wish you a lifetime of trying, a lifetime of being loved. On the most tiring day, meet the real another half. When you are twelve or so years old, you will probably fall in love, but don't drop, if you can't love, don't wait, absolutely don't lose your dignity. Find someone willing to be with you through the years and grow old with him.
I hope you can live the way you want. Don't flatter someone you don't like, and don't hate anyone for no reason. You always secretly notice how other people look at you, so it makes me bother. I hope you understand, don't keep things that are not worth keeping in your heart, his or her whispers are just like the wind blowing through your ears.
I pray that you will try hard. You are a girl who wants not to live a mediocre life. Someone said you are so strong, why didn't I find out? Okay, I don't quite understand you either. But don't make yourself work too hard, no matter how well the price is paid.

How could I advance in grammar skill, i can read and understand the meaning of one article or topic, but when i try to do the trial test grammar, omg, i cant believe in it

The best route to get better in grammar, is to learn from a teacher. English is vast, and trying to take a handful of it is not enough to cover every details you may come through. I strongly advise you to attend some seminars by verified English institutions, there you will get to know how English is applied in circumstances you never knew could exist.

Overpopulation has resulted in excessive consumerism: Biodegradables such as plastic bags are widely consumed for packaging, and since these would take hundreds of years to decompose after being buried under the ground. Consequently, the problem of soil degradation would be exacerbated.
