     I am not here to ruin you.
     I am already in you.
     I am the work you don‘t do.
     I am what you understand best and wordless.
     I am with you in your chair and in your song.
     I am what you avoid and what you stop avoiding.
     I am what‘s left when there is nothing left.
     Love me hard， pilgrim.
