Life is like flowing water in many cases, from high to low, always unable to control oneself. We are all doing things that we think are easier. That kind of undercurrent oppresses you and makes you too late to think, or you have never planned to think.

Brian finally chose to quit, because he finally learned to cry, not cowardly, but a real perception, because he cares, because he feels needed, the belonging he truly feels in his heart, no longer lonely, emptiness, or fear , Because at that moment, or just at that moment, he was really thinking about what he wanted after all.
