I want to fall in love early, but it's too late...

"I want to fall in love early, but it's too late..."

This is the helpless feeling of many adults who have been educated in Chinese style.

Youth is like a dream, passing in a flash. Unlike the stars at night, it is difficult to get close, but it is better than the passing of meteors, which will only last for a moment.

I can see it, and I really believe it. I have it, but it's hard to get back...

I've been in a blank state and finished two seasons until the moment when everyone went to the funeral, my tears began to flow.

Have you ever wondered what to do? Have you ever indulged yourself once?
Maybe, adults, teachers will say that behind the madness or indulgence, there is a price we can't pay... So, we should not be crazy, so we should not relax...

Is that so?
Is that so?

I like the saying very much - sexual repression will eventually lead to psychopaths!

This was the first thing the teacher said to me in my psychology class. It was a very good foreign teacher. I can only say that maybe she doesn't understand China's national conditions. Although I agree with her statement, if she is an ordinary middle school teacher, she will definitely be fired, right?

A lot of things, we were not given the right education at the right age, then suppressed, then covered up, and then… exploded? or silence?

Maybe, the people on the show have crazy lives, and everyone thinks it sucks, her or his life. But, slowly, they will find that their life will change slowly, because of their own changes, and then, they will grow up...

Maybe, this is why many Chinese children get Ph.D., but they are not as good as foreign 18-year-old high schools birth's sake.

Maybe, no one has taught right and wrong, maybe, you will face all kinds of temptations and rebellion, maybe you will be hurt, you will be sad, and you will feel that life has no meaning if you lose love...

But, China In the end, it is often the outsider who gives the answer. In foreign countries, they are more asked about their own choices...

Then, whether the outcome is good or bad, only you can bear it.

Many people say that most of the foreigners' nerves are two circuits, and there is always only one that is energized, because they only need to ask themselves, do it or not, want it or not.
China, on the other hand, is a network of dots. Each dot is not one's own, but others are the society.

Many people, after reaching a high degree of education, look back at their lives, but there is nothing blank.

There was no madness, no hysteria, no helplessness... Everything was like a black and white painting, quiet and concise, and even the tears were just as described in the novel, light and tasteless.
It always seems so rational and calm... If you

don't do it, there is no right or wrong.
When you do, you will know right or wrong.

Is that the difference?

After reading it, I just want to say that I hope less and less people will have this feeling in the future -
"I want to fall in love early, but it's too late..."

In short, if you want to be crazy, go crazy, just do it! ! !

Because you are young, because you are you! ! !

Is not it?
