Presence, company and absence of family members or significant others

2019.12.13 I accidentally came to a Pizza Hut that has never been there before, sat at the first table in the door, ordered afternoon tea and watched a movie.

It's been a long time since I walked into a restaurant so casually to read a book or watch a movie.

I seem to enjoy jotting down what time, what scene, movie or book I watch. Like every time I watch movies and books, for me, it feels like a rare trip is about to begin, like the excitement of going through a different pilgrimage.

I seem to be prudent but not cautious. I will carefully select the movies to watch, according to my current mood, time, etc., but the choice seems to be casual, there is no movie that I particularly want to watch, and the one I choose is a movie . But after reading it, I will accept it, whether it is good or bad.

"Mr. Church" was seen by accident before, and then marked the one I wanted to see. I still have a cold today, so I had no choice but to go out for lunch. I originally wanted to order takeout. I'm also very happy when I come out, because I hardly stay at home or where I live when I'm alone, I go to bookstores, often bookstores, and occasionally coffee shops. I just didn't expect it to be the same today.

I turned on the movie when I was eating at Huahui at noon, but it turned off after the first five minutes of watching it, so I had a good meal. I'm not a big fan of doing something else while I'm eating, because I'm a big fan of just enjoying the food. When I was eating lettuce, I suddenly thought that I always had a special feeling for lettuce and lettuce. It was a kind of reappearance in my life for a while, which became a memory with time, and then became a kind of whenever It's a special feeling when you see it.

When I was a child, my grandmother liked to cook lettuce for me. The first time I ate lettuce, I thought it was very delicious. Boil the lettuce until I say I can switch to something else. Grandma is like this, her love is like her character, she is more stubborn. And cooking lettuce reflects her character. There was a time when she thought lettuce was very good, and she boiled lettuce every time - she rarely thought about the same vegetable or meat, how would it be done in a different way - yes, she was so stubborn that many She is stubborn in matters, so others, including her children, find her difficult to get along with.

But lettuce has a completely different flavor than lettuce, and she can easily burn the lettuce very old. So I don't like to eat lettuce. But she doesn't seem to know.

I sighed involuntarily, um, it turns out that food will also seal personal memories. Sometimes eating the same dish, or a familiar cooking method, will bring back memories.

Therefore, when I watched "Mr. Church", I also thought it was a coincidence that when I was sighing about the memory of food, I watched such a movie. (There is an even more coincidental thing. When I was sitting at Pizza Hut, drinking tea, blowing my nose and brushing my Moments after watching the movie, the first Moment was a junior brother who sent him tea cups and tissues. Of course, I immediately told him to listen. Only to find out that we both have a cold.)

The top is mine, the bottom is my brother's

Presence and company of family or significant others - Mom and Mr. Church

After watching the movie, I realized that it turns out that not only food, but also living habits, quality, behavior, preferences, language, etc., will be subtly influenced by "family". Maybe this person has been with you for a long time, and he is not related to you by blood. But he is not "someone else" either.

This relationship is very delicate, and very few people's lives encounter such a sudden, good, lucky, well-defined and integrated relationship like this movie.

I think the heroine is very lucky. Even if this kind of description of life seems impossible, I think it is worth savoring.

Mom has always been an important role model and support, and the point of love for the whole family. From when Charlotte was very young, even though she did not have a father, her mother would give the most love and perfection, expressing that Xiaoxia was in the most cherished position in her heart all the time. She is beautiful, generous, gentle, strong, neither humble nor overbearing, neither strong nor light, everything is handled properly and comfortably in her way, which is a kind of personality or life wisdom.

Charlotte has also become a woman with a personality like her mother. Under the influence of her mother and Mr. Church, she became a well-informed girl, but she was still bold and sensitive.

She can handle and deal with life changes gently like a mother, but it's more of an unconscious influence from Mr. Church - I can take care of my life, whether it looks bad or not; No one will know about life, emotions, and problems, and you don’t need to care about other people’s thoughts. No one can actually completely affect or even cross the line on their own life.

Therefore, I appreciate that she can handle some very important problems peacefully when she grows up. Of course, it is also because she has always been relying on and the sense of security brought by relying on it, but more importantly, she can calm down her mentality, right? ? Sometimes it is not too eye-catching, and ordinary is also a good state of life. The existence and company of family members or significant others is the gradual formation of a kind of life, a unique life.

She got pregnant unexpectedly in college, came to Mr. Church's house, gave birth to the baby, worked in the restaurant to support the baby, until Mr. Church passed away, and after the funeral, she began to write the graduation essay that she had never written. ——Life is impermanent, and it is not necessarily the best arrangement for everything. No matter how sudden or bad things are, you can actually deal with them, because it does not necessarily bring bad results, but it does. It will bring back a memory or life experience. When you have this kind of mentality, you may be much gentler when you accept many things, and you will not be overjoyed and sad, nor will you feel sorry for yourself.

The departure of family members or significant others

Where there is love, there is warmth, and sometimes there is a feeling of home. Even if it is not a physical family, there will be a reliable and reassuring feeling of home. What kind of love can bring? Friendship, love, and affection.

The family is a constant continuation, and the family will always be there. Like "Dream Travel" tells us that being remembered is a kind of existence; like many stories and movies tell children, a person's death will become a star in the sky; like "Mr. Church" "In the funeral, some people will avoid talking about the person who left, some people will only talk about the person who left, some people will find ways to comfort you, some people will make you cry, and some people will be silent.

Perhaps there is still a relationship between the departed and the living, because the living will not only mourn the departed, but also care about the important people of the departed. A kind of caring for each other by living people is the warmest concern for those who have left.

Some time ago, it was difficult for me to accept a situation that might happen in the near future, that is, the departure of my relatives. I felt that I could not face this situation, and I could not find a way to face it that suits me.

But I feel like I understand it now. Sure enough, watching movies, reading books, and listening to music is a lovely journey of perception.

Just use your own way to unravel your doubts about the problems of life.

I've been listening to Chinese songs recently, and I'm also very warm when I hear Wu Yi's songs. Just remember: days when you feel warm but catch a cold

Mr. Church quotes

  • Marie: Charlie, Charlie wait. I am angry, too. You give birth to this tiny innocent little thing and you think, 'My God... , Oh my God, help me protect her.' And that is what you spend every waking moment doing. And then one day you wake up and you've got cancer. And you realize, my God, oh my God, what she will need the most protection from is your own life slipping away from her. But you love her so much. And you just want to smother her with love, and hugs, and words. With every moment you've got left.

  • Charlie: People act strange around death. There are those who talk about everything... but the person who died. Those who talk about only the person who died. Those who try to cheer you up. And those who can't help but make you cry. And then there are those who say nothing at all. Because they don't have to
