q: what is your understanding of a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose?
— tiff⚡️ (@tiff_ilosophy) August 18, 2022
zzn: some meanings are meant to be shared, others are meant for ourselves. life is short, what ought to be will be🌹#ZhouZhennan #周震南 #CPop pic.twitter.com/MLvDUKbMNW
q: what is your understanding of living in the moment?
— tiff⚡️ (@tiff_ilosophy) August 18, 2022
zzn: in my concert, we had a recording: "we can't go back to the past and we can't go to the future"
living in the moment isn't a choice, it's a matter of whether you accept yourself in the moment#ZhouZhennan #周震南 #CPop pic.twitter.com/xKqa8YT4iw
zzn: if you have a lot of discontent, if we turn this negative mood into self-doubt, if you keep going around like this in a circle, you'll lose all desire to do anything. i think this isn't the way forward — we should do what we feel like doing#ZhouZhennan #周震南 #CPop pic.twitter.com/oZxUs1gUPa

q: off work, do you spend time alone or play with friends?
— tiff⚡️ (@tiff_ilosophy) August 18, 2022
zzn: both, but i'm alone most of the time. music, movies and cats keep me company. i have a cat and my sister's cat is staying with me too. i've also been watching a lot of documentaries#ZhouZhennan #周震南 #CPop pic.twitter.com/uA19b3nWAJ
q: any documentaries you can recommend?

zzn: my octopus teacher — it's about a filmmaker who goes and films the same octopus every day, for a very long time. he was with the octopus from when it was small, to the day it died. i found it very moving#ZhouZhennan #周震南 #CPop pic.twitter.com/NCBZC9EXaF
q: apart from yourself, did other people help you climb out of your low point?
— tiff⚡️ (@tiff_ilosophy) August 18, 2022
zzn: staff and friends helped me. (but) there's an experiment by calhoun called the behavioral sink, i really recommend everyone to take a look...#ZhouZhennan #周震南 #CPop pic.twitter.com/fkE3iWc7B9
zzn: calhoun did an experiment with rats that really mimicked what modern life is like for a lot of us. oversocializing. nowadays with the internet, you can meet 10k ppl a day and by the end of it you don't want any more interpersonal contact#ZhouZhennan #周震南 #CPop pic.twitter.com/jQOj0wZzl9

zzn: it's like when we're browsing short videos. this second, a video makes you feel moved, the next second, a video makes you lol. you think you get it but you didn't really experience it. this will make you numb#ZhouZhennan #周震南 #CPop pic.twitter.com/C10bSjL6cz

q: what was the first thing that got you out of your low point?
— tiff⚡️ (@tiff_ilosophy) August 18, 2022
zzn: i adjusted my work-life balance, gave myself daily goals, such as learning, training, working out#ZhouZhennan #周震南 #CPop pic.twitter.com/HN96j8EEAz
zzn: why is working out so meaningful? it's not about how big i can get my chest 😂
— tiff⚡️ (@tiff_ilosophy) August 18, 2022
it's to let myself know that, in my life, there is at least this one small thing where i can get results through hard work#ZhouZhennan #周震南 #CPop pic.twitter.com/ZpRuSCiWR8
