Everyone is growing up every day and is inevitably moving towards the next step in life. This seems to be a law that needs no explanation. We gradually become acquainted with the state of life, knowing that if we keep going along this path, we can go far without making any changes. However, many times, that road does not lead us to the destination we hope to reach. At this time, we are confused and just want to escape from our current job, escape from that city, escape from that apartment, that street, and that At the subway station, go back to the small town where I lived when I was a child. Like a child, I don’t have to bear any responsibilities, just do what I want to do. Just like the 30-year-old Li in the movie, even if she is just an ordinary lifeguard in a small town, she will feel very happy, because after removing her burden, she can drive with her childhood friends The car was bumping and laughing on the grass slope. She could smoke marijuana in the woods at night, and could have relationships and fall in love with an 18-year-old boy, as if the 30-year-old herself was still the 18-year-old girl when she graduated from high school. Unscrupulous and free.
Perhaps it is true. There is nothing more to miss than the summer at the age of 17 or 18. However, growing up is a cruel reality that has to be accepted.
An adult can go back to the past, occasionally holding a coffee cup in the sun, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers and the tranquility in the air, thinking about the silly self, the crazy self, the arrogant self at that time... However, separation is again Unrealistic, when Li was intoxicated in the dream of escaping from reality and forgot her true identity, even her mother could not understand her childishness, and drove her out of the house, forcing her to face her adult and 30-year-old In reality, even friends began to say that she was a lunatic, but she had nowhere to go and she could only live in the house of her little lover, Jason.
However, no matter how beautiful the dream is, there will be a moment of waking up. When Li and Jason found the body of a friend in the woods, when Jason couldn't stand the spirit and hid his face and wept bitterly, Li finally understood that there is a difference between an adult and a child after all. Children can cry when they are in pain, and an adult does not expect children to comfort us when facing this. On the contrary, adults should have the maturity and responsibility of adults to comfort young people who are in pain.
When we were a child, we all yearned to be able to wear high heels, put on heavy makeup, mix in the adult world, and be respected and understood. However, when we really grow up, we can’t say that we leave because the adult world is not as beautiful as we imagined. God has given us the right to set foot on the time train, but unfortunately, this is a one-way train. Since we have chosen If you move forward, you cannot stop or turn. When entering the twentieth year of life, when thirty has become one of our labels. Perhaps, we will all have doubts, feel irritable, and uneasy. Seeing that the best time in life has just passed away, there is nothing we can do to stay and even find that we seem to have done nothing in these years. We regret and complain why we didn’t do that in the first place. Do, why didn’t we make that choice at the beginning, why didn’t we have the courage to take that step at the beginning, we hate our indecision and timidity, so if we want to go back to the beginning, maybe we want to start again, or maybe we just want to Escape from the current self, gradually getting old but doing nothing. But in fact, avoiding is never a good way to solve the problem.
The goodness at the beginning cannot be copied again. No matter how we persuade ourselves to be able to go back to those years, everything is just in vain. Now that we have grown up and become adults, we should bravely take on our own responsibilities and take good care of ourselves, so as to prove our accumulated maturity when we grow up. If you are confused, stop and take a deep breath, but don't rush back, because, no matter how we sprint, the light is getting farther and farther away from us...
