Doing the right thing is more important than thinking about the meaning of life

I watched the Japanese cartoon "A Fairy Tale of the Years" quietly at home. The plot didn't have too many ups and downs, there was no love, hatred and hatred, and there was no deep discussion of human nature and awe-inspiring heroism. Sincerely.

Just like our own life.

Had a splendid childhood, but also lived up to life

In the film, Taeko, on the train to the country, keeps thinking about the past events that happened when he was in fifth grade. And this also triggered my memory nerve.

The first time I ate pineapple, the family didn't know how to eat this species known as the "king of fruits". After waiting in the mouth, they didn't taste the delicious taste they expected. The eager anticipation turned into a disappointed "but that's it".

Mathematically too bad, I only got a terrible score in the test. I still don't understand how to use 1/4 to score 2/3 apples. When even my sister wondered if she had a problem with IQ, I was depressed for a while. It became a trouble for a little boy.

Although he grew up late, he was always teased and coaxed by the more precocious classmates around him. The first love was a little sweet and a little astringent. At the age when he would really blushing when he met, he gave it to the innocent and handsome baseball boy.

For many girls, menarche cannot be treated calmly. They are panicked and shy. I just feel that menstruation is quite "shameful".

And my memory floodgate was also opened, and the triggered memory nerves also extended all the way...

I remember the first time I ate bananas, it smelled delicious, and I was even more reluctant to eat them. I had to save half of them to eat later. I was reluctant to eat them all at once. endlessly.

When I was in the third grade of elementary school, my math grades were all the way down. There was no principle and no bottom line. Compared with Taeko at that time, the most painful thing was to take the test paper home and ask the parents to sign it. It was also from that time that I learned the pattern words. The amazing thing is, signing my dad's name later was even more sloppy than him.

Primary and junior high school students are in the countryside. All the classmates are friends who live in the same village nearby. It is also time to go home together after class every day to expose each other's scandals. Thinking about it now, at that time, the classmates saw that you didn't have any scandals and arranged for you directly. The name of the opposite sex makes you worry, and your heart is broken for the object of your scandal. Thinking about it makes people move.

The first time I had my period when I was in junior high school happened to be at home on Saturday. When I saw blood on my pants, I thought I had something wrong. My mother calmly took a toilet bag and gave it to me...

Having had a splendid childhood, and having a fairytale-like time at the beginning of the years, it is also the life that lived up to it.

Rainy, cloudy and sunny, which day do you prefer?

Taeko said that he likes cloudy days, and the baseball boy said happily: Me too.

I like rainy days. I don't know why, but rainy days always give me an inexplicable sense of security.

There is someone who likes what you like, and Aiwu and Wu are just like that.

But for me, this requires a role reversal. When I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, I had a crush on someone other than the other chasing me. Look at it with his eyes, laugh and play with your friends in front of him, just to have the courage to get closer to him, and to attract his attention.

Although there is academic pressure, there is no need to bear the pressure of life, just enjoy the feast of youth, passion, vitality, and enthusiasm. There is also some small sadness, but it can be healed. There are also some small fortunes that will make us have more expectations for the future.

I always think that I am the most unique one. The future has not yet come, and there are infinite possibilities.

In a twinkling of an eye, I am 31 years old, single, and still an inconspicuous screw in the company. There are endless unpaid classes. I have already started to pay attention to health care. I have been using the combination of wolfberry and thermos for several years. , more exercise, common form of walking. One way of saying it is that it is good for your health, and another private thought is that you may be pregnant and have children at an advanced age in the future, try to prepare for it now.

Maori said, I used to try very hard to be unusual, but now I find that ordinary is simply an unchangeable destiny.

It turns out that there are too many people who are more beautiful and better than themselves. Prince Charming only exists in fairy tales. The reality is full of people who are the right match, how much income, and whether there is a garage.

It turns out that when I meet someone I like again, I don't even have the courage to fantasize about it, and I have the ability to be self-deprecating.

It turned out that I had too many expectations for life and no response, and really finally adjusted my desire to the lowest value. In Maori's words, a glass of water turned into ice, no matter what, my heart would not be shaken again.

It's more important to do what you think is right

Some time ago, because the show was cut, Wu Xin cried to her friends on the show "My Girlfriend". Although it has been a while, but during that time, she was rehearsing without sleep or food, but at the end she was notified that the show was temporarily canceled. That feeling still brings tears to my memories.

In the program, Wu Xin also expressed her anxiety. She has not improved her work ability for so many years. She is still single at the age of 36. She wants to get married but is afraid of affecting her career. Age has become increasingly disadvantageous.

This is how life is. You know that there is a pit ahead, but you have to jump down. I have to endure the pain, cheer myself up, wipe away my tears after crying and continue to work hard to climb out of the pit and walk the rest of the way.

Some people say that life is so cruel, what's the use of knowing it?

It is true that thinking too much will not make your career progress, the relationship between husband and wife is harmonious and harmonious, and your body is healthy and pain-free. The important thing is to do it, to change.

Taeko finally chose to stay in the countryside to become a peasant woman, giving up a stable and decent job in Tokyo. In terms of the phenomenon that many rural people yearned for and rushed to big cities at that time, it was a kind of reverse walk. If you care about other people's eyes and pursue the so-called trend, after all, you can only place the body in the city and the soul is at a loss. Not necessarily happiness.

Doing what you think is right is more meaningful than worrying about the meaning of life. Be brave, be decisive, live according to your own wishes, and work hard and follow what you like.
