Suppose Alex lives next door.

Watched "Into the wild" again. Compared with the Chinese translation, I prefer its English name. This has nothing to do with personal English proficiency or poor.

I don't want to say too much about how beautiful Sean Penn's shots are and how good the music is. I believe that no one will raise objections to these. Just want to talk about Alex. It is said that people actually have two selves in their hearts. One is who you are now, and the other is who you want to be. I thought about some abstract people who lived in my heart before. But there has been no specific image. It wasn't until I saw Alex walking and living in a wilderness bus one day that I suddenly realized that this was actually the self I wanted to be.

Of course, why that self will always survive. And there is no substitute. Probably because there is no way to do it. I have tried to go to some places alone, and found that I am super road blind. And even if I want to put aside the present and stay away from the crowd, I still fear that no one will speak.

So, I often think later that if Alex lives next door, maybe we can talk or be good friends.

In fact, as time goes by, the self in my heart becomes more blurred. It's like the definition of a friend becomes less clear as it goes on. This is the same reason.

So write it down.
