Nothing to do with midlife crisis

After watching the movie in a dull mood, I suddenly felt that I was righteous.
Such a half-old man who has lived many years longer than me. The career is not bad, the income is quite good, there is a house, a car, a wife and children (although divorced and a lot of problems...- -b).
I think he is the kind of person who is qualified to say to me proudly, LZ has crossed more bridges than you have walked.
However, after watching the film slowly, I found that experience could not answer certain questions. For example, the life you really want, the things you really value, and the direction of walking that is obedient to life without going against your inner desires.

So, at the age of 20, is there any more reason to be confused?

Also had a dream, this person.
In a certain section of the film, he said:
I remember before, I imagined what my life would be like, what I would be like. I imagine myself having all these qualities, good qualities, qualities that make one excel. But as the years went by, I got almost none of those qualities. And the possibilities I faced, and the kinds of people I could become, are also decreasing year after year.
In the end, there was only one left, and that was who I am now. That's who I am now - Mr. Weather.
...
The person watching it was secretly cold, praying that he would not have such a monologue in a few years.

Excuse me, I'm about to mention Annie.
Annie said: "Just because she took a small step ahead of the people around her. The more she sees, the less she is happy. But time is always beyond our imagination. Our hearts can go ahead of time, and what we have lost and received must still follow the principles of time. ("Sobering Story")

At the end of the film, he strode forward with a bow and arrow on his back, even though he still didn't know where he was in his heart.
Talk back to yourself. Recently, I have come to realize that it is really useless to think too much about many things. It is better to cherish the present.
It's good to walk by.

"Easy doesn't enter into grown-up life."
So, whatever. Just move on.

Take Annie's word for the end.
How does it end. If only for the end, then we can go straight from birth to death.
Time gives the gift it wraps. We go without regrets.
