UYal's blog

As I continue to run my blog, a few questions keep circling in my mind.
“What kind of posts keep getting read?”
“What content actually lasts?”

Then, one day, I thought of classic literature.
Words written centuries ago, yet still lingering around us.
Timeless in value — not because of trends, but because of essence.

That made me wonder:
What kind of things carry the same kind of permanence?
Gold? Diamonds?
They don’t change easily. Their value doesn’t fade — if anything, it becomes proven with time.

And somehow, this train of thought took me back to a memory: my trip to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is… unique.
It’s not China, not fully Western, not quite Indian.
It feels like a mixture of all those things.
But at the same time, it has no strong “tradition” to anchor to — at least none that visibly remains.
What’s left is neon. Modernization. Speed.

And to be honest, that speed felt… uneasy.
As if the city must constantly accelerate just to stay alive.
Like a place that would fall apart if it ever paused.

In stark contrast, classics, gold, and diamonds — they do not rush.
They simply are.
One sentence, held by people for centuries.
A material, unchanged by time.

That slowness — that essence — is something I find myself drawn to lately.
Not just for blogging, but for life in general.

Words that don’t sparkle, but survive.
Attitudes that don’t shift, but stay true.

That’s what I’m chasing now.
