"Are you angry"

"..."

"Do you want to smash this bottle of wine from your friend?"

"..."

"(Bang!) What else to smash"

"And that vase (bang!) that bull, I've never liked it (bang!) and that painting behind you, yes that (bang!)"


The paralyzed rich man in the upper class chose a black man who broke into the house and had a lot of criminal records as his life care among the many candidates. Although everyone around him said it was incredible, Miss C, who was sitting next to me, broke it out: he is going to What happened to paragliding was originally an adventurous person.

After getting along with Dale, Philip began to open his heart slowly, and gradually regained contact with his pen pal Lily, using Yeats' poems to express his gentle and strong love. Prompted by Dell, Philip called Lily and met with him. Just like what Lao Fei was worried about, Lily hesitated in front of the reality that he needed help from others to eat. His embarrassment had nowhere to hide, and his self-esteem made him choose to leave immediately.

He blamed all this on Dale's pressing step by step. He could have used his own way to slowly get in touch with Lily. He could have protected his heart. But in fact, it was him who took the initiative to speak after the call, and he was the one who rejoiced after the appointment. He just listened to his inner voice with the help of Dell.

The saddest thing in life is not to be deceived by others or to deceive others, but to deceive even oneself. After weighing the pros and cons and choosing between the pros and cons, make a decision with relatively low investment and low risk, and then find a bunch of objective reasons for the excuse to come to a conclusion that is only somewhat regrettable. In fact, the so-called regret, but did not go all out. It is human nature to look ahead and worry about gains and losses, and it is safest to stay in the comfort zone, even if you know that you are boiling a frog in warm water.

The appearance of Dale seems to have given Philip a new opportunity in his life. The place he wants to go will start immediately, the person he wants to see will be seen immediately, and the paraglider that made his life fall to the bottom will be conquered again. He listens to operas, writes books, talks about investing, smokes marijuana, tells dirty jokes, and dances in a wheelchair. There is nothing to hide, only flesh and blood and desire constitute a complete soul. Why do you choose what others think is suitable, even if you are paralyzed and want to ride in a sports car.

During dinner, I talked to C about a person who appeared downstairs at 2:00 in the morning. C said that this behavior was impulsive and irrational, and I said that this just moved me, and I happened to be such a direct and enthusiastic person. You can't hurt your heart for a second. In fact, I called C at night to say that I was suddenly going to some remote place. She scolded me for being insane while helping me drive. She supported the truth of my life in her heart.

Follow your heart, all the unreachable will become

within reach.
