A pair of jeans with magical power travels the world, bearing the imprint of the family, friendship and love of the four girls. But what is most impressive is the imprint that belongs to Tibby in pursuing his dreams. In that imprint, a little girl named Bailey is unforgettable, only 12 years old, but extraordinary maturity, a very special child. Bailey was an unexpected surprise in Tibby's seventeen-year-old summer, Tibby's little friend. Bailey and Tibby's first meeting was in a supermarket, where Tibby works part-time, and both of them brought a little bit of a scoundrel. One cowardly fainted, and the other cowardly printed the label on the package on his forehead. The second time we meet, Tibby returns Bailey's dropped purse. But Bailey said the money in the wallet was gone. I think she said that just to talk to Tibby and be friends. Perhaps it was the discovery of a series of equipment that Tibby used to shoot documentaries. After knowing the two themes of Tibby's filming: the peaceful and desperate life and the humble existence of human beings, Bailey's curiosity was infected, and she wanted to make her life more meaningful. significance. So far, Tibby has been entangled by this little troublesome ghost. Bailey said: "I think you need an assistant, no money, free." The result was obvious, rejected. In Tibby's eyes, 12-year-old Bailey is just a ragged child with not yet plump feathers, a little troublemaker. If a person has a clear goal, finds his value position, and wants to live the way he likes, he will stubbornly try his best to find all ways to achieve his goal, and he will not be defeated by a little obstacle. Persistent to the point of almost desperate. The third time we met, it was Bailey around the corner of the supermarket with Tibby's camera equipment on her back. The unwilling child said cheekily: "Auntie agreed, and she also agreed that I would become your assistant." When Tibby was about to get angry, she stopped the loss in time: "I found a good subject, "According to this, the temptation to participate in the filming. Taking the initiative to pursue what you like is the best choice. Bailey is lonely, curious, and eager to explore the world. Exploring the world, or wanting to understand others, isn't another level of meaning to explore oneself and discover one's own position? So in every shoot, Bailey couldn't help asking the questions she longed to know. As Tibby complained to her best friend: "She came out of nowhere and started asking questions, and she asked them the questions in their lives that she wanted to know, like she wanted to try to get to know them." Bailey's The thirst for knowledge is so strong, it's as if she can't wait to get something done. We always think that this little girl who is just 12 years old does not behave like a child at all. Her cognition is more mature and broad than people of the same age or even older than her. Generally speaking, everyone's childhood is full of joy and carefree. People who have such a childhood are lucky, so their minds are often ignorant, belonging to the ignorant simplicity of normal age groups. A child who behaves like an adult often has a major change in her life, and her experience shapes how she lives and how she views the meaning of life. Bailey has leukemia, and for her, she can only spend 12 summers. This is her last summer. Under the deep blue starry sky, Tibby and the two were lying on their backs on the green grass, and Bailey said, "Do you know what I like about stars? When you look at them in the sky, you know there must be something more important." The more important things in life. We spend our entire lives searching for meaning in life and pursuing a higher quality of life. But we all forget where we should place ourselves. Just like a question I saw on Zhihu: "Why am I so tired in my early 20s?" When you are striving for the goal of living out yourself, because it is fulfilling, even if it is tired, But you won't feel it. To understand, we all have to be charming and rich people throughout our lives, and as long as we live the way we like, doesn't life have meaning? I feel sad for Bailey's confession, but I admire her very much. I ask myself that if I was about to die at the age of 12, I couldn't be as brave, optimistic and strong as her. "I'm not afraid of dying, I'm more afraid of not having enough time, not enough time to figure out who I should be, to find my place before I die, I'm afraid of what I'll miss." In the world, to discover self-worth and live the way she likes, time hastily deprived her of the right to life. She can only do what she aspires to do in a limited amount of time, trying to get to know others and get a glimpse into their lives to make up for what she misses in the future. On the other hand, we are still a confused group of people, complaining that life is tired and asking how to improve the perception of happiness. In real life, there are so many people who struggle with illness like Bailey, and they have never complained about this or that. The only thing is to cherish every minute and second that you can hold in your hands, and try your best not to regret it for the rest of your life. Maybe it's because we feel too good about ourselves, we always think that we have time, we don't cherish it very much, and we mess around with it. A little unhappy, and what I planned If there is any discrepancy, I will shout tired and sigh that it is so difficult for me. This cycle went on, and in the end, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I just gave up. Later, when I looked at myself beyond recognition, I recalled the original intention of the lion at that time: to live the way I liked and live the life I liked. What is your mood? Do you regret the beginning? Thinking about it now, it's actually not that difficult, just grit your teeth and persevere. We should all have the self-knowledge of ordinary people. After all, the kind of people who have experienced great winds and waves to achieve a great career are very few. Or it is because the dream is different, the definition of life and success is different, and the process of pursuit is naturally different. But it's mostly just our minds. As Bailey said: "Maybe we all have a small part of us who are useless. Happiness is not about perfecting everything in life, but connecting the little things and making them more meaningful than bad. "Allow yourself to be a jerk at some point, but not allow yourself to be a jerk all the time. If you can't change the status quo of your life, you can change yourself. If life isn't going your way, try to be the best you can be. Happiness is to be perceived, not to enhance the perception of happiness.
