I choose life.

Last May, I only read the beginning of guessing the train, and arrogantly wrote in the school log: I choose not to choose life, I choose something else. At that time, I didn’t want to disarm quickly in the face of the years, I always thought I will never learn to grow up, live in the shadow of youth, pretending to be fragile and stubbornly insisting on myself. I can't say that I am fully grown up or mature now. In fact, the people who say this are naive in my bones. I just feel from the bottom of my heart that I am getting better day by day. You can be unhappy and angry most of the time. Even if you are really sad or angry one day, you can still say to yourself with enthusiasm: forget all, forget all. Then you can really forget; you can sit down and listen patiently to everyone telling their troubles and give sincere advice and comfort. You will no longer listen selectively and talk unscrupulously as before; you can throw away your past prejudices about others and Seeing everyone's good, it's not like before, there were a lot of dislikes and falling into an infinite number of small groups and losing their own values. I used to panic thinking that "you must throw away sincerity, kindness and beauty and become hypocritical and cunning when you grow up". Now it's ridiculous to think about it. I haven't become that way because I love truth, kindness and beauty, more than ever, and more and more. In the eyes of more people, I have higher requirements for the sincerity of being a person than ordinary people. This requirement is not only for myself, but also harshly for my family and friends. Therefore, for several years, it is really not easy for you to stay with me all the way, but because of this, you who stayed make me cherish even more. In September this year, I watched the train guessing again. At the end, Mark walking on the bridge is very inspirational to me. It seems that I suddenly stood out from the whirlpool of youth and decided to go to change, cleaning up and moving on, going straight and choosing life. Who is not youthful fool I have groaned at a loss, but as long as we are brave enough, we can lose our youth and start again, and we can usher in a beautiful tomorrow if we presumptuously yesterday. Finally, I remembered the lyrics in Han Han's "Empty City Plan": Life is like this, it's not as good as poetry, turning around and hitting reality, waiting for the beautiful story to be corroded, the last good dream gradually disappears, put down the toy, raised both hands, without saying anything.

    Depravity also requires talent.

    After the erosion, a purposeful life is the right thing to do. Revisited on August 13, 2014. In preparation for "All Things Grow", the story about youth is different from mine, but in the end, they all end in the same way. I want to take Astragalus well and grow well.

Trainspotting quotes

  • Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Excuse me, excuse me. I don't mean to harass you, but I was very impressed with the capable and stylish manner in which you dealt with that situation. And I was thinking to myself, now this girl's special.

    Diane: Thanks.

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: What's your name?

    Diane: Diane.

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: And where are you going, Diane?

    Diane: I'm going home.

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Well, where's that?

    Diane: It's where I live.

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Great.

    Diane: What?

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Well, I'll come back with you if you like, but like, I'm not promising anything, you know.

    Diane: Do you find that this approach usually works? Or let me guess, you've never tried it before. In fact, you don't normally approach girls - am I right? The truth is that you're a quiet sensitive type but, if I'm prepared to take a chance, I might just get to know the inner you: witty, adventurous, passionate, loving, loyal. Taxi! A little bit crazy, a little bit bad. But hey - don't us girls just love that?

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Eh?

    Diane: Well, what's wrong boy - cat got your tongue?

    Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Now I've justified this to myself in all sorts of ways. It wasn't a big deal, just a minor betrayal. Or we'd outgrown each other, you know, that sort of thing. But let's face it, I ripped them off - my so called mates. But Begbie, I couldn't give a shit about him. And Sick Boy, well he'd done the same to me, if he'd only thought of it first. And Spud, well okay, I felt sorry for Spud - he never hurt anybody. So why did I do it? I could offer a million answers - all false. The truth is that I'm a bad person. But, that's gonna change - I'm going to change. This is the last of that sort of thing. Now I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm gonna be just like you. The job, the family, the fucking big television. The washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electric tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisure wear, luggage, three piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing gutters, getting by, looking ahead, the day you die.
