I hope I can understand the things I'm interested in by improving my English listening skills. Therefore, I found a video about teaching people how to play the drum. I watched the video and took notes, but it’s still super hard!

In The Farewell, the main story is about a big secret. A Chinese family doesn't tell their grandmother that she has cancer.
To many Western people, this feels wrong. They believe the truth is very important.
But in Chinese culture, this is done out of love, and this is a good lie. The family wants to protect her, not hurt her.
In the East, family is more important than personal truth.This is very different from Western culture. In the West, people care a lot about freedom, choice, and honesty. The right to know is important. That’s why the main character feels very confused. She grew up in America, and she thinks the grandma should know the truth. But when she goes back to China, she slowly starts to understand her family’s way, even if it’s still hard for her.Many Asian Americans feel like the main character. We live between two worlds. At school or outside, we learn to speak up and be independent. But at home, our family teaches us to be quiet, respect others, and take care of each other.These ideas sometimes don’t match. The movie does not say one culture is better than the other.
It shows that love can look different.

“The meaning of your life is defined the moment you decided to find a meaning for your life.”

I watched the movie Soul, and it really made me think deeply. It is not just a story about music or dreams—it is about life, purpose, and what makes us feel alive and just look like a person. The main character, Joe, is a music teacher who dreams of becoming a famous jazz musician. One day, something unexpected happens, and he enters a world of souls. He meets a soul named 22 there. At first, Joe believes that everyone must find their “spark”—something they are meant to do in life. But later, he learns that life is not only about doing "one" special thing.This movie made me think more about the meaning of life. I used to believe that we all need to find one big goal or passion. But after watching Soul, I realized that living is already meaningful. Life is not just about doing something important for the world. It is also about the small, beautiful things: eating your favorite food, watching the sky, talking with people you love. These moments are simple, but they make life special and beautiful.

Inside Out 2 just like the first movie, it helped me understand more about emotions. And this time, Riley grows up, and she starts to feel new emotions. There are more voices in her head, and she needs to feel more about this world. In the movie, we see the extra emotions like Anxiety, Embarrassment, and Envy join the group. They don’t always make Riley feel good, but they are still important. This movie made me think about my own emotions. Sometimes I try to hide and run away with my sadness or worry, because I don’t like how it feels. But this movie showed me that it's okay to feel different things. We don’t always need to feel happy. It’s normal to feel scared, nervous, or angry sometimes.After watching this movie, I hope I can accept all sides of myself and learn to hold every feeling with care, because they are all part of who I am.

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missin' you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missin' too
When you're gone, the words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missin' you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missin' too
And when you're gone, the words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you

We were made for each other, out here forever
I know we were, yeah, yeah
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do, I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me, yeah

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missin' you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missin' too
And when you're gone, the words I need to hear
Will always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you, mm

oh oh, oh oh
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh ..

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

oh oh, oh oh
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Verse 1
Spotlight on the stage — that is ours
Panic under streetlights — that is mine
Counting one by one, the missed-out scenes
Numbering the stars I’ll never reach

mask we wear in front — that is ours

forgotten thoughts beneath — that is yours
Painting frame by frame with gentle smiles
Escaping frame by frame from haunting trials

Pre-Chorus
Will you leave?
Or am I just thinking too much?
line you always say
Maybe it's just helplessness

Chorus
Ay yi yay, yi yay, my little world
Like poison I can't go
What darkness am I chasing?
Spinning fast but never whole

Ay yi yay, yi yay, what kind of world
Perfection's just the starting bell
Forget the days of youth
No belief left, no one to tell

Verse 2
Spotlight on the stage — our moment
Panic in the dark — my torment
Reciting every missing take
Wishing on stars I cannot fake

Face we show — all dressed in play
Truth beneath — it fades away
Wait for old wounds to fade
Is it worthy?

Bridge
I’m not smart — can’t get it right
I still wait — day and night
Why don’t you believe in me?
Please don’t overthink, just breathe

I still care — but does it help?
I spoke out — did you hear me out?
Why won’t you wait, just one more time?
Tell me — what did I do wrong?

Chorus
Ay yi yay, yi yay, my little world
Like poison I can't let go
What darkness am I chasing?
Spinning fast but never whole

Ay yi yay, yi yay, what kind of world
Perfection's just the starting bell
Forget the days of youth
No belief left — no one can tell

Bridge
It’s okay now — really, it’s okay
Not bad at all — just stuck yesterday
You lost the one who knew your heart
I lost the one who tore mine apart
I — Have no more strength to grow with you

Final Chorus
Ay yi yay, yi yay, my little world
Like poison I can't let go
What fire was I burning for?
Still I missed the brightest glow

Ay yi yay, yi yay, this kind of world
Where “perfect” is just the start
I turn away and drop the blade
Though I still ache — I learn to part

Outro
Spotlight fading now — just memory
Wounds behind the lens — my history
Step by step, I count the prints I made
Dragging scenes from old films that never fade
