All this drug-taking, smoking, binge drinking, having sex stuff once seemed so extremely decadent. And once upon a time I could simply dissociate myself from all that, spout all sorts of condemnation of it, because I lived in a tiny protected bubble called rj. But now that I’m out in the real world, it’s so much closer to home. You make friends with people who do such stuff. You see and hear about people doing such stuff. And then you’re forced to re-examine your reasons for hating it, and you realise you can’t give a good reason why. Or maybe you can’t, because they’re your friends and by that it somehow seems to be more acceptable?—The sun is still shining, Jie Ning, 2 March 2010
