I'm from a different world from Peter Pan

I'm from a different world than Peter Pan.
For freedom, Peter Pan doesn’t want to be bound by reality, so he can live freely in Never Land without growing up, but I never had Peter Pan’s thoughts since I was a child. Bound, live a life that satisfies oneself, and is not bound by others or even family members. Peter Pan and I both yearn for freedom, but very different.
A long time of freedom may cause Peter Pan's loneliness and loneliness, so he wants to bring Wendy and live together in Never Land. But what can such a life achieve? There is nothing but freedom. Wendy was not very happy on Never Land. He misses his family every day, falls in love with a Peter Pan who is close at hand but never likes himself, and sometimes struggles with Hook, the captain of the pirate ship. There is a Chinese poem "Life is precious, but love is more expensive. If it is freedom, both can be thrown away". This sentence means that freedom is more precious than life and love; for freedom, other things can be given up. Peter Pan is the man who threw everything away for freedom. How many people can really give up everything? I think he is a special case. As for Wendy, why did she choose to leave the person she likes and return to the boring real world where she has to abandon her dreams? In my opinion, the happiness of these children on Never Land is meaningless happiness, the happiness of walking dead. Be happy for freedom's sake, or, be free for pleasure's sake. How can this unconstrained freedom highlight the value of freedom? So they all wanted to go home. In fact, they always wanted to go home. If you don't want to go home, how can you play the game of "playing the house" and regard Peter Pan as his father and Wendy as his mother?
I love freedom, but I think there are many things more precious than freedom, such as family. I often think, how can I be free and unconstrained? So, I traveled alone. However, every time I go out, I see other people are very happy with the whole family, but mine is only alone, and more lonely in my heart. When all the children left with Wendy, only Peter Pan and the elf were left in Never Land. Peter, don't you feel lonely in the dead of night? Do you regret not leaving with Wendy when you are alone? No one reminds you, will you remember to take your medicine? If you were lonely, would you go to Wendy and let her tell you a story? Before she left, she gave you a kiss that turned your face pink and gave you strength. How could you bear it? After parting, you didn't go back to see Wendy again? Not to mention, you said "Forger? Me? Never". Are you so afraid of growing up, worried that every trace of love will make you miserable and not be free? You are so capricious and pitiful. What you pursue, we dare not pursue, if you dare to hate, why don't you dare to love? If you don't try, how do you know that you will not be willing to give up your freedom? You said "I believe in fairies. I do. I do." Have you forgotten these three sentences that you said repeatedly? You believe in fairies, believe in fairy tales, why don't you believe that princesses and princes will have a happy ending? Are you alone, are you happy?
Growing up is an irresistible factor. In real life, we certainly cannot refuse to grow up. And on the contrary, the more precocious the child is, the more things in the real world they are exposed to, and the less pain they may suffer in the future. If, when we grow up, we naively think that we don't have to grow up, then we have lost a lot. Sometimes, taking on various responsibilities can also bring joy. When we take care of our parents, we will be taught by our parents earnestly; if we work, we will be affirmed by others; if we protect our family, we will be happy. Peter Pan has nothing to protect, so he has nothing but freedom.
I don't envy Peter Pan, let alone be him. His story, after I heard it, would only laugh at it. Maybe I'm Wendy, more daring to pursue my own life. But I don't have Peter Pan in my heart. I won't be standing by the window at night, waiting for nothing to come. I don't believe in fairies. And I'm realistic too. Peter Pan and I are two parallel lines that will never meet.

Peter Pan quotes

  • Wendy: I think you have, Peter. And I daresay you've felt it yourself. For something... or... someone?

    Peter: Never. Even the sound of it offends me.

    [Wendy tries to touch his face, and he jumps away]

    Peter: Why do you have to spoil everything? We have fun, don't we? I taught you to fly and to fight. What more could there be?

    Wendy: There is so much more.

    Peter: What? What else is there?

    Wendy: I don't know. I guess it becomes clearer when you grow up.

    Peter: Well, I will not grow up. You cannot make me!

  • Peter: [after bumping his head on waking up] I was not asleep.
