Waking Up at 5:30 AM

Honestly, I don’t know how long I’ll keep this up, but today’s the start of this routine.

5:30 AM feels early, but when I reached the entrance of the community, I found a lot of people were already busy. Commuters, breakfast vendors, even one or two elementary school kids — one looked about 10.

Biked to ZJU basketball court by around 6, started playing.

The roads were wide, the air fresh, the sky vast. The thought flashed by — why is the world so big, yet we confine our lives to 100 square meters of housing and a few square meters of car space? And we’re so obsessed.

Finished exercising around 7.

A quick shower at a teacher’s place, then started devotional time.

Left for work around 8:40.

Feeling great.
