out of balance

Burdette 2022-03-20 09:01:26

Basically, I think, life is a process of compromise. Not getting what you want is a normal thing. When we were young, we dreamed infinitely, we thought we could do it, but in fact it was not like that. The person you love is not necessarily waiting for you in that place when you want to turn back. What you want to do, even if you are 100% prepared, you can still fail.

One day, you think, forget it, you can't find a lover, just find a suitable person. Then you suddenly realize that a spring breeze is blowing like this. However, your spring heart is rippling, is it because she is really a true love like a once-in-a-century flood, or because she is a different person who just came to you? Just like when you are drowning, when you are about to drown, you will catch the straw when you see it. I don't think Sandra Oh's character is Jack's true love, but the phobia of getting married before marriage suddenly caught the straw.

Miles doesn't necessarily call his ex-wife because he suddenly realizes how much he loves her after hearing about her remarriage. It's just that he suddenly realized that he didn't have that straw to catch him forever. Whether or not to catch it is one question, whether there is a chance is another question.

I didn't have the patience to read it this time. Last time I risked my death, I didn't know I finished it when I was writing a certain paper. I heard that at the end, Maya gave Miles a chance. Not to mention the age of uncles and aunts, even the love of young people nowadays is like "whoever loses it can't live". This time, the turnaround was successful, and the straw was caught, because the other party happened to be empty, and he didn't have the strength to pick, and there was nothing to pick. Otherwise the story wouldn't be like this at all. In other words, there is a kind of reunion ending because it is a story in itself.

I suddenly remembered what I had seen, roughly speaking, falling in love is to meet a suitable person at the right time, he has a fairly suitable feeling, has a suitable background, and it just so happens that he is also the right partner at the right time. I expressed it, so, it is appropriate.

Life itself may be a process of pursuing balance, balancing inner desires and limited abilities. When I become an uncle, I still don't know what I want and what I can afford. Obviously, it does not meet the requirements of the times. Another aspect of that, of course, is that we always have a hoped-for version of ourselves. There is a chance, but not necessarily.

Eh, I don't really like the character of Miles, maybe I don't like such a self-entangled person. But, as far as the actor is concerned, he acted like a tangled person who made me feel uncomfortable. That was a success.

I like Wu Shanzhuo, and I also like this kind of woman with personality.

Maybe I should also come to see it after I become an old aunt, and then feel the helplessness of my life. I just don't think so. Well, life is better. Don't take yourself too high, and don't take yourself too low. Give yourself a chance and give others a chance. Don't make a decision without banging your head, but obviously no one is waiting for you to hesitate every day.

In love, everyone is a cabbage, don't think of yourself as a scale, just pull it up.

    1. I can't kill myself without even having a book published. Most of my life has passed, but I have nothing to show. I am a fingerprint on the window glass of a skyscraper, a dung dregs on my pooping finger, and run to the sea with the filth of thousands of sewers. 2. The memory of the long conversation with Maya on the sofa is particularly deep. They are undoubtedly the same kind of people. They understand movies, literature, and wine. Fortunately, he finally knocked on Maya's heart. 3. The first hour and a half was boring. It was just two men who were busy picking up girls and tasting wine in frustration. But in the last half hour, they got better and started to discuss the mediocre life that everyone will experience, but this kind of thing doesn’t work. The frustration is not as desperate as Nebraska, and it is a happy ending. 4. I like the role of Maya. She is intellectual, elegant, dignified, and understands life. Although she is trying her best to get out of her last failed marriage, it is obvious that she has started a new life. 5. That last bottle of 61 year old wine shouldn't be wasted in a paper cup at a fast food restaurant, haha

    I like to imagine the life cycle of wine. I like to imagine what happened in the year when the grapes were planted, how the sun was shining, and whether there was rain; I like the constant change of wine, just like we opened a bottle of wine today. It tastes different every day. In fact, a bottle of wine is alive, it is constantly changing, and it has more and more depth.
