Of course, I felt #torn. I did love my clan after all. As I entered my 30s, I came to a realisation — nothing shocking in the least — that my extended family was the embodiment of toxicity wearing an elite mask, rooted in hypocrisy of the ugliest heights only a Thai noble house could reach. #inkMine

I didn’t get to explore otherworldly #concepts like Parallel Earth and Parallel History. Long hours at the university library in Wellington were spent focusing on the required readings for my assignments. So, I didn’t study ‘worlds alongside worlds’ in any depth until I was in my early 20s. #inkMine

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

The outside world knows him as a man of #style, clean shaven, always elegantly dressed, sharply tailored suits and overcoat. Isabelle gets to see him without his armour, a scruffed-up figure in shorts and open robe, yawning his way through his first coffee, all stubble and bed head. #vss365

School made me unbearably sad; it was where I was constantly bullied. I was born into privilege, but struggled in every way possible. Was there something I wanted to be when I grew up, #perhaps? Not really. Somewhere in the background was my family, pulling me into line, squashing my dreams. #vss365

My childhood was dictated by people whom I had no trust nor respect for. But the parallel world of jianghu provided moral direction; in a way, I considered jianghu to be my ‘elder’.

As an emotionally fragile kid looking for guidance outside of the harshness of reality, I nurtured friendship, honour, sincerity — #values that didn’t govern life at home or at school. Even while these examples were played out on TV shows, I didn’t really believe that jianghu was fictional. #inkMine
