If you met the true love you were destined for, would you sacrifice the most important dream of your life in order to be with him/her forever? What if it's a dream that can be realized as long as you keep working hard?
Recently I watched a French romantic comedy love movie called To My Strange Lover. The hero and heroine in it encountered this multiple-choice question. Whether in reality or in another parallel time and space with them, there is no way for both of them to stick to their dreams, and the ending can only be that one of them sacrifices himself for the other. dream, to fulfill another person's dream and the love between them.
Why do you have to sacrifice one of your dreams as a condition to love someone for a lifetime? Whether it is the heroine's dream of being a pianist or the hero's dream of being a novelist, they are all very important and precious existences. Good love should achieve each other, just like Mia and Sebastian in La La Land (the name always makes me play Black Butler), they love each other, they both have dreams, but in the end They choose to separate and let each other work hard to realize their dreams.
Dreams are very important, to the point that they are a small boat that saves you from the sea of misery when you are in the dark and there is no way out.
My favorite anime character is Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto, his parents died when he was a child, because he had a fearsome nine-tailed fox sealed in his body, so people in the village were very afraid of him, no one wanted to be friends with him, and always said something very bad in front of him. hurtful words. So Naruto when he was a child always liked to cry alone in the dark. He was very lonely and very painful.
Until one day, he found his dream. He wanted to become Lord Hokage, a leader who was more powerful than any previous Hokage, able to protect the village and let everyone in Konoha Village recognize him.
Every time he said this dream, he would be laughed at by others, but he never gave up, never doubted himself, and persevered in hard work, and eventually he became the seventh-generation Hokage-sama.
If he didn't have a dream, Naruto would never become the shining self he was later on, nor would he get the precious friendship he never had, would not have the warm family he had always longed for, and most importantly, he would not be able to get rid of it. The pain, the loneliness and the sadness that haunted him.
Love is important because by nature we all crave to love and be loved. But dreams are equally important, because that is the important way for us to strive to find ourselves, evolve ourselves, and finally achieve ourselves; that is how we can grit our teeth and persist in living no matter how much pain, how many tears, and how many wounds we open. And the reason to laugh; that is the true nature of us as individuals, different from zombies, different from others, and different from other creatures.
Mayday has always been my favorite music idol other than Jay Chou, a group of men who have reached the age of greasy old men, but they are not greasy at all, their eyes are still sparkling, and their hearts are still the dreams of teenagers. Every time I listen to their songs, my blood boils and my eyes fill with tears.
Love fades, it changes, it gets disproportionate to what it gives. But the dream is different. Only by sticking to the reality, no matter how dark or long the tunnel is, one day there will be light.
May you have the ability to turn your dreams into reality, and on that basis may you love and be loved.
