ideal result

On a summer afternoon on Saturday, with the noise on the Second Ring Road outside, I was half asleep in the living room, feeling uncomfortable. Gaming is no longer an enjoyment, it becomes a reaction to your cerebral palsy. And his love for the computer network is persistent and indulgent, so I sleep with mine, and he plays with his; it's just that I always have trouble falling asleep, even in such a low-quality sleep state, I still need him to lie beside me and talk A few words to cultivate my formal drowsiness.
The sense of responsibility in my heart always drives me to choose the pressure I don't want to endure, work, life, inner thoughts... So I'm never free, I'm in the labyrinth of buildings I designed and listen to one after another outside the city The password of so-and-so: left, right, forward, backward! I said to myself rationally: You must obey all the rules when you are in it; my emotional heart has rejected such arrangements countless times, and fighting at a loss makes me tired, irritable, and depressed. I want to be happy, I want to smile as brightly as they do, but I can't. Some times, my rational side is about to overcome the emotional side and completely drown it. Of course, this is what I hope, so that I will not have these complaints and these crazy thoughts that others cannot accept, but it always fails to materialize. I know: this restlessness that hides in me will never go away. On me, the mirror mask will not be peaceful, it is not a static thing in itself, and the masks I wear in the daytime are all branded by the mirror mask with my dark smile: faint, sad, indifferent... ...at a loss, silent.
The princess and Helena in the film are opposites of appearance and behavior, but in real reality we are often not only two-sided, (this reminds me of Wang Xiaobo's writing about Li Jingchang's many brains working at the same time! Khan!) So which one do you choose? Governing the body in your outer world is especially crucial, it determines the various environments and people you will meet in the outer world. Smart people choose to cover up their dark, passive and indulgent self most of the time, while stupid people can only let themselves go sadly.
And I, always wandering between smart and stupid!
