December 21 - 1 -

It's almost the end of the year, with only a few days left, but I haven't written in my diary for a long time because I haven't had any dates, romances, or love stories in the past year. I have been on a few dates, but none of them reached the point where I wanted to continue dating. Plus, I've had too many troubles at work this year; I've been so busy and have been involved in lawsuits, etc., so I'm completely out of the mood for any romance. Love is definitely the most luxurious spiritual luxury of the superstructure, absolutely. That's why, even a very independent woman like me, who has financial freedom without worrying about bills or income, if entangled in the trivialities of life, I can't find the mood to enjoy romance, the purely spiritual luxury-simple: I'm just not in the mood for love or romance.
Then a year slipped away in a blink, and already there were less than 10 days left in 2024. Suddenly, unexpectedly, the entire world collapsed and melted into darkness, at the destined 7 minutes.
The story begins like this: The day before yesterday, yes, today is Saturday, so I mean Thursday, my right teeth have been red, swollen and inflamed for several days, the pain was so severe that I couldn't eat for several days. Even if I chewed food with my left teeth, the pain on the right side was still so severe that it told my brain that I didn't want to eat.
