whenever I heard it, the time paused. I love the metaphor of bird and flying, either for youth, or death. poetic!
yes, i switched major from science to language when i was in china. honestly, back then, none of them interested me much though I could do well on both. i did not like school and was not sure what I really wanted for my life.
