You have to learn to be alone

Da Xin was one of my favorite girls in my college class. Sometimes I wish I could be her. One morning in my freshman year, the weather was sultry and hot. I hurriedly rode my bike to the information building. There was a custard bag and a cup of soy milk hanging on the faucet. It was hot and heavy, and I was annoyed by my procrastination-loving lateness as I hurried, just not being able to go out a few minutes earlier and start the day leisurely. At this time, I passed by Daxin by the Siyuan Lake. After the morning run and the delicious and warm breakfast in the cafeteria, I settled down and walked to the lake to read in the morning. The pale golden sunlight in the morning shone on her face, and she was very bright. I smiled and waved. The girl was so beautiful at that moment. Calm and simple.

Daxin was able to study by himself quietly, without anyone to accompany him, without a partner to pass the high-level written test, and without a class to get up early for self-study alone. And I admire this personality the most. I have a clear goal in my heart, and I work hard and calmly towards it, and this effort will not affect my normal life. It seems that progress is as simple as eating and drinking, and excellence is a habit. Daxin can do many things by himself, but the worst thing for me is to do certain things by myself.

For example, when I was a kid, I liked to go to the bathroom with my best classmates. I still have this habit to this day.
I couldn't eat alone until high school, it was not delicious and tasteless. In fact, when I was at home alone during the summer vacation, I turned on the TV to accompany me to dinner. But when I went to college, I finally started to be able to eat safely by myself.
But I still have no way to go shopping alone or watch movies alone. I think if I go and tell the ticket lady, please give me a movie ticket, the ticket lady will make me turn around and leave with a glance. So I was surprised when I heard Feifei's remarks, "I'm tired of shopping alone, why don't I go to the cinema to watch a movie?"

So I played the debate and became the host, but I couldn't speak.
There are three people around you in a debate, one in the host, and one in a speech.
I've been bad at speaking since I was a kid.
All the speeches I attended were given by my parents and teachers. Maybe not forced. But I am a person who will not refuse. If you look at me like this, how can I let you down.

But the speech is a person, so I can't.
When I was a child, I went to the shopping mall to compete with children in storytelling. It seemed that I didn't make it to the preliminary round.
In high school, there was a selection speech for an outstanding student who tragically forgot his words for 10 seconds. When I think about it now, I feel embarrassed, but in the end, I seem to have won the second prize. I also think it is very strange.
Yesterday, the counselor helped me sign up for the CCTV English Speech Contest. The topic was given at noon yesterday, and it will be discussed at noon today. It was 10:30 when I returned to the dormitory after class last night. It was nearly 12:30 when the manuscript was written. When I was writing, I kept getting stuck and stuck again, because there was always a voice in my head saying, "You can't, you can't, you can't speak."

I remembered my mood when I practiced the piano at the end of August. A momentary epiphany. It was the first time from the age of 7 to today that I had an enlightenment. When I practiced a new piece, it wasn't to return the lessons to my tutor, not to please my mother who liked listening to Clayderman's light music, or to live up to the hard work of practicing piano in childhood. It's me playing the piano, and the piano is being played by me. This song was finally practiced and played out smoothly. The joy at that moment was incomparable to anything.
Then I finished writing the manuscript.

In the afternoon of international politics class, Daxin sat next to me. Make an appointment with her to go to the board game Three Kingdoms Kill on Friday afternoon, and then go to poke the billiards. Then Daxin said, in fact, I always envy you, live a rich life, and have fun at any time, young people just have fun. Unlike me, the more I live, the more like an old man, I die every day with self-study. I laughed. You are only a month older than me. It turns out that this month is the dividing line between young people and old people. In fact, my heart is OS, my dear, you don't know how much I envy your calmness, girls should emit fragrance quietly and lightly, and work hard towards their inner goals day by day.

Speaking is a personal thing. In order to live up to your expectations, but also for the slash that crossed my heart.
After all, I have to learn to be a person.

Go for it or go f*ck yourself.

    Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

Akeelah and the Bee quotes

  • Akeelah: I'm naturally inquisitive.

    Dr. Larabee: Yes, which is also sometimes confused with being naturally obnoxious.

    Akeelah: You know that feeling where everything feels right? Where you don't have to worry about tomorrow or yesterday, where you feel safe and know you're doing the best you can? There's a word for that, it's called love. L-O-V-E.
