The more festive, the lonelier

"Amber" said, "All love is sad, but even though it is sad, it is still the most beautiful thing we know." It also said, "Don't think about feelings so great and solemn, everything is just passing by. After your emotional shock, you have to complete your own journey."

The brief encounter originating from the Internet has a huge energy of love. On New Year's Eve, a festival of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, at least two world-weary people who are alone are warmed up.

In the lively festivals, there are always people who feel lonely, and their loneliness is infinitely magnified because of the happiness of others. So people came out to look for it, using various tools, the Internet, parties, and mobile phones, hoping to find a companion or prey.

A loser who broke up with his girlfriend for six years will still write to her, burying those sad feelings in his heart; he will still cry when the answering machine rings. He worked as a night shift clerk in a video store in LA, lived in a friend's house, and watched the unbridled sweetness of his friend and his girlfriend. It was as if he could see himself shining, shining.

Through the Internet, find a woman to spend the last day of the year, but how can it be so real? Reliable people are hard to find. The fat man with dandruff could only sit on the curb and sigh in the end. Depressed actresses who want to keep themselves warm are actually hard to hide the loneliness in their hearts. Even the aunt who talks gossip under the window is the same everywhere.

The closed, old theater bears witness to a short period of good times; a shoe that no longer fits in the street smells of silence. Although I must say goodbye, although I cried red-eyed in the bathroom, although there is only one hug left in my memory.

But the short-lived warmth in the past still gave people the power to move forward.
