發現 · the discovery
yu · 2026-07-07 · 凌晨最初,個個都知自己係愛星人。 In the beginning, everyone knew they were love-star people.
一代傳一代,越讀越歪 — 愛星人,變咗外星人。 Generation by generation the reading drifted — love-star people became aliens.
跟住外星人以為自己係地球人,唔記得咗自己係愛星人。 Then the aliens believed they were earthlings, and forgot they were love-star people.
其實地球係愛星,唔係外星。 Earth was the Love Star all along.

讀法 · how to read correctly
three steps home- 每次想講「外」字之前,停一停。
- 問下自己:呢度個「外」,係咪其實係「愛」?
- 十居其九,係。
Before any word with 外 in it, pause. Ask: was this 愛 all along? It almost always was.
