more important than growth

I have a friend who had a few scandals when he was young, but then it was gone. I like Eason Chan's songs, and singing "Ten Years" on KTV is also very beautiful.

As a senior member of the Appearance Association, I think this is good, because the girls around me still feel hopeful. Even if I tease him when he plans to come out, he just says, hey, how about you?

To be honest, I have seriously thought about this.

Friends get together to give birth to children, and those who originally posted selfies and travel photos have changed their faces one after another. Every stage of life has a melody for every stage, changing the rhythm like listening to a song, and the book by the bedside has become a diaper, making fun of the single dog's heartbreak and envying the freedom of an independent individual.

He was still unmarried, and he was on business trips with the company. He was traveling everywhere. In the past year or two, he called him in the middle of the night. He said he was in Xiamen, and I said, what a coincidence, I am also in Xiamen.

So I made an appointment to meet at Zhongshan Road and asked me where I would stay at night? I said that I would just go to a small hotel. He asked, is it the one with a small card or the one without a small card?

I said you took me for someone, and I booked two rooms for business trips with my female colleagues.

Yo.

It's just that the female colleagues disagreed, saying that it would be good to book a room for the company to save money.

Xiamen is a beautiful and dull city.

That year, the large-scale anti-pornography campaign in Dongguan had not yet happened. After the bus got off work, the low-rise buildings on the deserted Zhongshan Road were dimly lit by street lamps, and the dark corners between the alleys always lingered with the smell of fat powder.

The girl standing on the street was pale, and her lipstick was like the embellishment on a corpse.

The older ones will lean forward with their limbs and say to you, hey, do you want to play with the handsome guy, 100 yuan and 20 minutes.

He passed them by as usual. Some girls stopped talking when they saw him.

He suddenly said to me, "Actually, they are braver than us, and I don't even have the courage to get married."

"Are you picking or not finding the right one."

"I think it's because of the innate ability to turn the right into the inappropriate, and it seems to be suitable for everyone, but after a long time, you will feel tired, there is no constant relationship between people, and It’s not a childhood sweetheart, two children have no guesses, and now I can’t go back to my childhood, where can I find such a person, it’s nothing more than getting to know each other, comforting each other, and then when I get bored, I start using excuses to escape, being alone, and this is the end of

my life.” I suddenly didn’t know how to answer. .

There was a commotion between the silences, and the sullen girls ran up to hide in the distance, and an old old policeman rode a bicycle to drive them away. The scene was more like an absurd dream, hopeless and helpless, as if the Germans were deporting the Jews. .

"I think, the old policeman has to drive you away too."

"Why?"

"No one will treat you as a cowherd if you hang around here?"

We bored at the end of the street and got into the twenty-four McDonald's, which is open every hour, is like two lonely men driven out by their wives.

He can drink Coke in one go, eat five chicken wings, and leave a bone.

"Did you like any of those girls just now?"

"No, I was rejected by them."

"What do you mean?"

"Once Qin Fanfan told me to get married, it was not separated from two places, one from Fuzhou and the other from Xiamen. , then I don't agree, she will break up with me, I like her very much, but I don't like to get married."

Qin Fanfan is also my half friend, a very straightforward girl, and I don't meet much. Most of the three people were at the meeting in Fuzhou, hanging out together when they had nothing to do.

"Yeah."

"Then after I answered her call about breaking up, probably at this point, I was very depressed and wanted to sleep with the girl. I never thought about it like that before."

"Then what?"

"Then I swept it away. The girls took one look, picked one who didn't look directly at me, pressed it into the corner, and she suddenly said, 'Come back next time.'"

"Why?"

"I don't know."

"Then I went home, drank some wine, and fell asleep."

"It hasn't changed for so many years."

"It can't change, it's stiff, like a plant spreading its leaves toward the sunny side, like Bears always like to eat honey, like the ice cream that doesn't go in the fridge in Xiamen always melts, like the great dad fox is always going to steal chickens."

Where Wes Anderson described a fairy tale, it was clearly man's situation.

Women in this world are insecure, if there is, then she definitely doesn't love you.

I remember the first time I watched "Fantastic Daddy Fox", I just felt that the colors were bright, the picture was relaxed, the soundtrack was lively, the composition was symmetrical, the plot was just the joy of a children's drama, and there were some misconceptions.

Later, when I watched it again, I found out that this is an adult fairy tale that Wes Anderson sneaked into the film. The anxiety and family crisis of middle-aged men can only be felt when you reach that age. There are also moving ideals. doctrine.

So the second time I watched this movie, I thought of McDonald's in Zhongshan Road, Xiamen at one o'clock in the middle of the night. I couldn't remember the face of my friend. Is he a fox disguised as a gentleman, or I am the fox , and he was more like a wolf waving at the fox in the cold ice field.

Your untouchable freedom has paid a price that makes those who love you puzzled. All the choices about life have become fables, and what we have experienced indicates the road ahead.

Even if you haven't grown for so many years, even if your savings are even less than before, even if your friends are married and have children, even if everyone accuses you of being too old for nothing, but I am very envious of what you have. the life you want to live.

For him, the more important thing than growth is to follow his own nature.

If you lose your own nature, the so-called growth is just a compromise to reality, you may retain respect for the world, but don't let yourself become monotonous, boring and smooth.

What a boring thing that was.

Interesting is full of risks. Men in their thirties are still in this state, and they are easily labeled as losers. The trap of life is just not seeing the cage, but it does not mean that the cage does not exist. The fox began to make a wish, if he could escape , we will get married.

A self-aware life has grown into various shapes in such willingness and reluctance, so in the summer of 2016, I remembered the chicken wings he had eaten all over the place.

Call him and ask where he is.

"Teaching in Yunnan, there are a lot of monkeys here, do you want to come and play?"

"Go, go when you get the chance, are you married yet?" There was a long

silence, but there was the cry of a baby.

"I've already given birth to my second child. I've gone to change the baby's diaper. I don't have time to talk to you now."

"Who is so unlucky to marry you."

"Qin Fanfan!"

    dahl~ It's a bit embarrassing for a fox to walk like a human~ Music praise XD

    Nostalgic style + cold humor + a little inspiration, suitable for family viewing. As a very caring young man, when faced with an animated feature film, he can't help but lower the standard a little bit, 4 stars.

  • [Coach Skip is teaching Kristofferson the rules of Whackbat]

    Coach Skip: Basically, there's three grabbers, three taggers, five twig runners, and a player at Whackbat. Center tagger lights a pine cone and chucks it over the basket and the whack-batter tries to hit the cedar stick off the cross rock. Then the twig runners dash back and forth until the pine cone burns out and the umpire calls hotbox. Finally, you count up however many score-downs it adds up to and divide that by nine.

    Kristofferson: Got it.
