friend, lonely

Before a person meets friends, he is a lonely existence. Depressed, helpless and even denying themselves.
The little girl in "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" is such an existence. Born into a middle-class family with living parents, everything seems normal on the surface. But she couldn't find the meaning of life, and she had a secret plan to end her life in 165 days, when she was 12 years old.
By chance, she met the concierge of the building, a vulgar-looking, bloated woman. The porter happily named her cat after a character in Tolstoy's novels, and maintained a very good reading habit, even though she was seen by others as a porter doing a lowly job.
So, when she was with the porter, the little girl felt happy; the accidental death of the porter made the little girl realize the value of life.

People running on the streets of the city always have too much helplessness in order to maintain their lives. This kind of thing starts every morning, getting up early, the car is crowded, and the commute to get off work with no end in sight, we are no longer ourselves, and the elegant life is so impetuous. Rape, living without grace, people become slaves of life. At first, I still feel the pain of hesitation. Year after year, the soft heart is tortured into a stone heart and then completely numb.

You can also try to interpret life in another way, fuck social values, fuck hypocrisy, benevolence, righteousness and morality; friends, you can also create and find them yourself, it can be a book, a song, a An essay, a movie.
For the luxury of a confidant, people need to think a little bit. If you get it, I am lucky; if you don't, I will die.
Dance like no one appreciates it. How can it make you happier? Enjoy freedom or change yourself for rumors.

    It has become my favorite movie. "Like a goldfish in a fish tank and end up in a plastic body bag" all I could think about was "So we put the goldfish back in the pool" Observing the world record through the utensils and monologues Perched on your own while reading Where are you at the end of the day? The little girl who planned and simulated death The concierge who loves to read The Japanese have their own graces A heat wave ran through my heart We are all hedgehogs I suddenly remembered the sentence "In our life, when we meet love, we meet sex It's not rare, what is rare is to meet and understand." Retaining loneliness, there will always be a unique soul in the world who said to Mr. Ozu in Paloma, "Mrs. Michelle, she reminds me of a hedgehog..." My nose was sore, I pulled out a tissue and wiped the gushing tears "Even a person can have two identities." Look, this is a gentle fit. The soul needs a death for love and stories to stop reasonably

The Hedgehog quotes

  • Paloma Josse: Planning to die doesn't mean I let myself go like a rotten vegetable. What matters isn't the fact of dying or when you die. It's what you're doing at that precise moment.

  • Renée Michel: Happy families are all alike.

    Kakuro Ozu: Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

    [Quoting from Tolstoy's 'Anna Karenina']
