Life,Here I come

Occasionally, I have an illusion that contains the deepest doubts about my growth path:
in fact, I am still in the same place; in fact, I have not stepped out of my student days;
in fact, sometimes,
I want to go back.
Go back, do it again,
and this time, I won't let regret be regret again.
This time, no matter how busy I am, no matter how busy I am, no matter where I am,
I will attend the graduation ceremony, put on my graduation gown, and finish it once.

I think,
with a ceremony to pay homage, I can be considered to walk out, and then I can continue to walk, so that I
can gradually stop dreaming like most of the people around me, gradually get married, have children and support my parents. Another ordinary day.

When everyone around me is moving on to the next stage, and I still seem to be stuck at a certain stage and monotonous,
I have to admit that occasionally, I have this illusion.

We are often influenced by the "majority"
and use the "majority" view to constrain our behavior, restrict our "dream" and force ourselves to try to catch up with them.
When it is really unable to catch up, it will return to the time when
it was once, and look back.
Perhaps, looking back, you will find a "past" left unnoticed and recoverable, and perfect it into the future.

In fact,
life
is far less pretentious.
At a certain stage, it does not necessarily have to be completed with a ceremonial ceremony.
Maybe one night,
write a few heartfelt words, drink a few sips of slightly spicy wine, and have a sweet dream.
When I woke up again, the ritual was complete.
Those pasts are not necessarily perfect to make up for every regret.
Perhaps, it is these flawed pasts that make them more memorable and precious.

All we need
is a gesture,
raised from the bottom of our hearts, a beautiful gesture of
daring to say to ourselves: Life, here I come
