addiction

At a certain moment when I was lying in bed in a daze, I suddenly realized that the addiction to ice cream hidden in my body had quietly disappeared. The disappearance or change of a habit is a bit like a memory being emptied. The loss of connection between two neurons, the disappearance of a synapse, the thought of forgetting countless memories and changing thousands of habits in one's life, unconsciously shudders at this annual sci-fi drama in the neurological world. If you feel lost, maybe one day you will find that no matter how much exercise, you can't secrete dopamine in your body. I have always been in awe of "lost" and "if". hallucinations.
I used to be a person who was addicted to ice cream. When I was in Europe, the wheat whirlwind with limited flavors in different countries was even regarded as a ritual by me. Of course, eating ice cream with a stamp collecting mentality will only have a fatal consequence. , it is hard to return. Now that I think about it, it seems that I haven't eaten ice cream for half a year.
In the middle of the film, Geoffery was smoking a cigarette and quietly waiting for Kate to return from the community activities. In the car, his friend Lena couldn't help but ask Kate, has he smoked back? Kate doesn't ring. Later on a hysterical afternoon, Kate smoked a cigarette and paced the front yard. The couples who look alike and detached are surprisingly consistent when they smoke, calm and restrained.

Is the smoke a metaphor for a vanishing habit? The misty smoke is entangled in the air, the white mist rises and disperses, looming and shrouded in the letter that seems to be from the Swiss police station, the airborne and defunct old lover, the dusty negative film, and the couple's heart. the diaphragm. One after another, the confession one after another has actually blocked some of the memory windows of the two. What Geoff remembers is the young and high-spirited self decades ago, and the young, lively and brave girlfriend. In his consciousness, she has always been his girlfriend, and it is Kate who "doesn't know what she is like" girlfriend. As for Kate, what she cared about was that she would never miss her husband's time in Switzerland. In her opinion, it was a time he was so glittering and proud of. Maybe Geoff didn't deliberately compare his girlfriend to Kate, because Kate in his heart is like a bowl of rice, a glass of water, and a breath of air, which is his habit. What he has seen is Kate's young and old state, of course, we can also say a little more romantic here, it is companionship and witness.
Maybe Geoff didn't even realize it, and he started smoking the cigarette he quit. And for Kate, there was also an unexpected surprise, maybe she didn't know it, she was reminding her husband and herself to see that he actually smoked the cigarettes he quit.
I really don't dare to agree with the rumor that "couples in love should not watch", if the relationship is simply borrowed from others, or if the original appearance of the relationship is not clear, the thorns will appear serious. Only children will avoid the heavy, and only cowards will avoid the barbs in the relationship.
