Poetry in trivialities
Percival 2022-04-22 07:01:55
This kind of minimalist animation, I would never watch it. But on such a cloudy evening, I just want to escape the loneliness of reality in the cartoon. Fortunately, we are not disappointed. In life, our vision is the small world around us. As for those farther away, they are all blank. Trivial and plain, but warm and sincere, in the midst of the noise, it is a life that is a little helpless but worthwhile. What's more, there are exquisite haiku, as the end of life, decorating every daily life in the mundane fireworks.
To grow is to look down on all surprises, and to live is to see poetry from all trivialities.

Woman at wedding banquet: Life, as they say, has its ups and downs. At times, the waves may taunt you, tossing you in their swells. But take heart. It's hard to stick with it and make it on your own. But even a couple of losers can survive most things if they're together. So listen, take some advice and have children as soon as you can. Children are the best reasons for riding out life's storms. Nowadays, people say child-rearing is challenging and difficult, but we've done it from time immemorial. Children grow even without parents. So hold them close to your heart as they crawl, then walk. They'll be fine.
