When I was young, I hated my father's unsmiling expressions, and I often yearned for a different dad. For example, my uncle, I stubbornly think he is funny, humorous, and understand my troubles, hoping that he can take me away. However, I was too clear in my heart: This is an impossible thing.
Therefore, growth is actually a process of confronting fate for the first time. In the first confrontation, you learned: No one can change their birth, they can only accept it. This process is full of sadness. This kind of sadness is often ignored by the adults until "that mysterious man" appears.
In the movie "The Heart of Atlantis", an 11-year-old sad boy meets a mysterious old man. The teenager thinks he is very different. He is also keen to talk to the teenager and never treats him as a child. He told him not to underestimate the ability to read, "for thousands of years, great men have led us out of the darkness." He said to him: "We are all prisoners of time and eternal hostages." He even told him: You will kiss that girl. You will. What a lovely girl. In that kiss, feel yourself.
Every teenager has sadness. The sadness comes from the fact that adults think they don't understand anything, and they are always full of disdain to talk to them. In fact, they understand everything. They can see sadness, they know what love is, and they know what heartbreak is.
Every teenager has sadness. The difference is that some people cultivate sadness into a kind of Ah Q spirit, some people turn sadness into rebellion and anger, and some people bury themselves in sadness and never get out. If you are lucky, it will take a long time for someone to gradually understand that if you encounter sadness, relax, it will slowly go away, let go, take it easy.
This boy is the lucky one among us. The mysterious old man disappeared. They never saw it again. He looked at his back and felt that his youth was also gone.
"You know? When you were young, there were so many beautiful moments, you felt like you were living in a magical place. You thought Atlantis must exist. Then we grew up, and our hearts were broken. "
Atlantis, an ancient prehistoric country rumored to be in charge of the descendants of Poseidon, the pinnacle of continental civilization, but after a disaster, the whole country sank to the bottom.
Our childhood, like the fallen Atlantis, was once full of countless magical stories, but now there is no way to find it. The only good thing is that we all thought that when our hearts were broken, we would never be better again. Later, when I was heartbroken for the second time, I realized that I was still alive. I waited until the third and fourth times to realize that heartbreak is a must in life, just as we are destined to be hostages of eternity in time.
In your life, there will always be someone who will teach you: I will not regret knowing you. There will be someone in the nightclub who will teach you: Nothing can stay the same forever.
But I know that Atlantis, eternally exists in my heart. It really existed. Just like that young man, he will never forget that mysterious old man who has existed in his life. It is not a fictional character, it is a testament to his Atlantis heart.
Each of us, in fact, who has ever abandoned our "Atlantis". Even if the heart is broken, the heart is broken again and again. Even if I will never see myself, my hometown, and the people I met forever.
