me and my world

Cleve 2022-03-23 09:02:36

What kind of story is this? I tried to describe it in one sentence, but couldn't. A waitress, her boss, an eccentric, fussy old man said to her, "You're definitely not just a waitress, you don't know how much inner strength you have." Survive? How to get along with it? I feel more and more strongly that this problem is haunting me everywhere. She said the only thing I ever wanted to do was run away. In fact, that has always been my ideal.

The world is like a gigantic monster, trapping the tiny us in it and unable to extricate ourselves. Not only that, it's indifferent to us. Just like Jenna's husband, tie her to his side. In order to prevent her from leaving, he didn't even let her drive, picked her up from get off work every day, didn't give her a penny, confiscates her daily salary, forced her to listen patiently to all the annoying trifles in his work, forced her to swear even if there was The child also loves him more than the child, and plays with her like a doll, just because he offers her a house and a life without food and clothing. Other than that, he was indifferent to everything. What Jenna likes and dislikes, how she feels every day, what thoughts and feelings she has, and he doesn't even know how many months Jenna is pregnant. The boss of the restaurant where Jenna works only said three words to them: "Don't you have any customers?" "Don't stay in the kitchen all the time!" "Go to work!" Jenna knew she had nothing but her loneliness and the desserts she made. she. She researches new tricks every day and names dim sum after her mood. She is like a lonely dancer, dancing with her shadow in the middle of the empty stage.

Pregnant Jenna has an affair. A chance encounter at the station with a new doctor, who tells her about the waitress who made desserts like her, whom she had a crush on as a child. He said, "You remind me of her." Jenna blushed, and she said, "No one has ever paid attention to me like this." Love just came so suddenly. She said, "I started to talk and I couldn't control it." "I only had my mother as a friend since I was a child. Can you be my best friend?" Because of who you are, but because of who I can be in front of you. Jenna has two colleagues and friends, Becky and Dawn. Dawn looks average and nobody cares, and after 5 minutes of dating a man, he is madly in love with her. Dawn was initially heartbroken, "The first time in my life that I was a perverted molester!" But she later fell in love with him and married him. The man recited impromptu verses of love, wild romance, and ebullience to her every day, and Dawn said, "I know he's ugly and a weirdo, but nobody cares about me but him." The boss cheated, and she explained to Jenna, "After living my life with nothing for many years, I decided to take a small risk on myself." Jenna asked, "Do you love him?" "Who knows, but I love this Something. Funny and sexy and sneaky. I like to wake up every morning with anticipation because someone is dressed up." "Does he love you?" Forget my crippled husband, my loneliness, forget my damn unnoticed boobs."

Every day, people around us come and go. We talk to them, we argue with them, we work with them. Sometimes we call friends and accompany them to eat, drink and have fun together. But no matter what you do, you can't get rid of the shadow of loneliness. These lives exposed to the sun are so unreal. However, our true appearances are always hidden in the dark, hidden in the shadows, unwilling, daring or unable to be placed in the sight of everyone. Sometimes this kind of loneliness that no one cares about is so deep and heavy that it can no longer be endured for a second. Only by leaving the world and leaving oneself can we get rid of it. Most people, most of the time, are thinking about how to live their lives and how to fight the negative thoughts in their heads. When the world around us is indifferent to us, we always want to do something, try our best to maintain even the slightest contact with the world, even if there is a trace of understanding and encouragement in the eyes of a person looking at us, we are willing to be with the world Compromise, willing to try to continue to live in peace with it.

It was the new doctor who gave Jenna this hope at first, staring at her with the eyes of his first love. Let her unexpectedly discover the kindness of fate to her and the merciful hand of God stretched out to her. She couldn't control herself sinking in this feeling. However, she clearly knew that this did not conform to the rules of the world. She wanted to end it again and again, but couldn't bear to give up this only hope. Becky and Dawn gave her a book, advising her to write letters to her unborn child. She wrote in the letter, dear baby, I do not welcome you. I don't feel the joy of your growing up day by day, and I'm not excited to be a good mother at all. I know the world is not as beautiful as this book tells you. I'm not even a good person. ...you ruined my dreams, the crib you slept in was bought for my dreams. Every time I see you lying there I think, darn boy, darn crib, you ruined me! ...

The doctor suddenly ran to her house and looked at her with sad eyes, "You look like a mess, you look so sad, really sad." The doctor hugged her. In her letter, she wrote, "Dear baby, I hope one day someone can hug you for 20 minutes, that's all." I hope they don't leave, don't look at your face, don't try to kiss you. All they do is hold you tight, hold you tight without distraction. ...she taught the doctor to make dessert, humming the song she hummed when her mother taught her to make dessert as a child, "Baby don't cry, gonna make a pie, gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle. Baby don't be blue , gonna make for you, gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle." The

child was born, a beautiful girl. The nurse asked, "Madam, do you want to hug her?" She took the child and looked at her. First amazed, then smile, like all mothers smile with love. She finally understands that this child from her body will be her true link to the world. The husband said, "Do you remember? You said you couldn't love the children more than me." She turned to him, expressionless. "I don't love you anymore, I want to leave you, I want to divorce you. From now on, you are not allowed to walk within 6 yards of me, and you are not allowed to touch me again!" When she left the hospital, she said to the doctor: "We can Put on a big show that ends slowly in a few years and makes everyone miserable, or it ends now, you know? No one cares, just say goodbye. I'm saying goodbye."

She finally left that could ruin She gave up her life and opened her own dessert restaurant. She hugged her daughter, hummed the songs her mother had hummed, made her favorite dessert, and imagined the same happiness that her mother experienced in those days as she experienced at this moment. Such an ending is not so perfect, but perfect happiness is untraceable after all. At least at this stage of her life, in the battle with her life, she won.
