Only loneliness is always with you

The girl in the same lab told me that she ran back to the dormitory at noon and cried a lot, and then ran back to the lab in the afternoon to continue the experiment that she didn't know why. Chatting on QQ at night, she quietly asked me how to solve the sudden loneliness.

In fact, I want to say that I have always felt lonely, and everything I do every day is to resolve my loneliness. Whether I laugh and play with others, whether I keep silent, whether I sing with all my voice and dancing, whether I sit in a corner and stare blankly for a long time, all of this is just a pastime. To fight against my own loneliness that no one can understand in these days of transitioning from teenage to youth from simple to complex.

After answering her question about loneliness, I turned to the movie again. "Revolutionary Road", the name of a road or a summary of one's life. Some people see the uselessness of communication, some people think that if Jack is still alive, his love with Rose may be just like this, some people see paranoia, some people see emptiness, and some people see Kate's picture. The no longer plump face saw the passage of time. I think if it wasn't for her problem, I wouldn't have thought that maybe people have been fighting against boundless nothingness and loneliness all their lives.

After all, you are neither me nor you. You are unrestrained, willful and childish, I am sullen, paranoid and emotional; you want the other party to have a good temperament and good body, clean, optimistic, sexy and feminine, but I have a flat chest with splayed feet, casual, passive, simple and student-like; I hope that the other party is gentle, considerate, generous and faithful, and You are unsettled, unsatisfied, intolerant, and not long-lasting. You see, no one in this world is who, you want to go to Paris but I want a stable job and a man's self-esteem, you can't convince me and I can't understand you. In the end, I choose to commit suicide, you stay and wait, everyone is lonely anyway.

McCullers said in "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" that "she can stand in the middle of an overcrowded house and still feel like she's locked in by herself". What can we do even if we love each other, what can we do even if we are together .

Maybe loneliness is an innate nature and everyone tries to break it, trying to make a revolution with a makeover.

Although in vain.

    If I'm not firm enough, will you go away?

    This is what we fear, the ultimate destination of everyday life - emptiness and despair. A mother aborts her fetus, a son grows into a cold-blooded killer (We Need to Talk about Kevin) These two films are like two versions of the same story. It's not Paris's problem, nor her husband's problem, but the ultimate loneliness as a human being that she can't embrace.

Revolutionary Road quotes

  • Shep Campbell: You just... wanted out, huh?

    April Wheeler: I wanted *in*. I just... I just wanted us to live again. For years I thought we've shared this secret... that we would be wonderful in the world. I didn't exactly know how, but just... just the possibility kept me hoping.

    [takes a cigarette cush]

    April Wheeler: How pathetic is that? So stupid. To put all your hopes in... in a promise that was never made. See, Frank knows. He knows what he wants. He's found his place. He's just fine. Married, two kids. It should be enough.

    [takes a sip of martini]

    April Wheeler: It is for him. And he's right. We were never special or destined or anything at all.

  • April Wheeler: I saw a whole other future. I can't stop seeing it.
