One of the best things about living in NTU is the sunsets. Sometimes I stand at the stairwell for a good 2 hours, just watching the sun hiding slowly behind the hill in the distance. Watching the sky spliting horizontally into layers - the lightest, purest gold where the sun is, and a deep dark blue descending upon it that will eventually turn purple-ish black. Two halves that never mix, the falling darkness cushioned by the gold 'til the light is compressed into a thin stream like an aura around the hills, and the streetlights flicker on.
If this life is all I'm going to have and this world is all there is, then I want to spend every last moment in awe at the beauty of the world.
