Singleness is a false proposition

Recently I watched an American humorous comedy called how to be single, the Chinese translation is called Single Guide. After reading it, I feel a little bit, and it feels like a more dramatic reflection of my current state.

The story takes place in my Greater New York (of course), and the heroine is the heroine who plays Fifty Shades of Grey. The general idea is that girls belong to the kind of state that has been in a long relationship. As soon as they enter the university, they find the mr.right on the campus, and then the two stay together until they graduate and live together smoothly. If there is no accident, the two will get married. kind. But people always yearn for what they can't get. The girl suddenly felt this kind of stability, and she could see at a glance that the days of living in the next thirty years were not what she wanted. She felt that she had not experienced the days of being alone in her life, and she had not found herself, so how could she be like this all her life, so she decided to "take a break and go find herself" with her boyfriend, and then moved in alone. New York.

Seeing this, as someone who has never been in a long relationship, I can't understand what she meant by finding myself. Can't you find yourself with someone? Do single people know what they want? For me, this is more of a personal reflection, and it has nothing to do with whether you have a sweet bond.

In my opinion, many men and women who have just graduated from college have a sense of confusion. I feel that the first half of my life has been lived for one goal. For example, the goal of primary school is to get into a good junior high school, the goal of junior high school is to get into a good high school, the goal of high school is to get into a good university, and the goal of college is to find a good one after graduation. For a job, once you find a job and leave the campus, when your parents are really alone, you suddenly have no sense of direction, no goal, a sense of emptiness, and a lack of cognition. I will think about what I am doing now, what do I want, what should I do next, and then I find that no one is forcing you, you are like a deflated ball, and your fighting spirit is suddenly gone. So I think that this feeling of powerlessness about the lack of self-knowledge is a normal experience that must be experienced in life, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with whether you are single or not. But maybe it's harder for someone who's been in a stable relationship to see exactly what they want.

Then the heroine met a lively female colleague of the company, played by my favorite fat amy. She literally lived out a living "New York single girl" textbook. Every day, I get drunk at the bar, make out with hot guys, then go to the other party's house to make firewood and fire, and then embarrassed sneak out the next morning, over and over again, year after year. This obviously shocks the life outlook, values, and world outlook of Fifty Shades of Grey girls. I feel that single girls in the city can still play like this. Then the girl "goes into the city and follows the custom" with the boss of the bar downstairs. Well, ons is really fun~ It's no wonder that the good men and women in New York are so happy that they don't even want to find a partner.

This is roughly in line with how I feel in New York. Just walking on the main road, you can't wait for one of your heavenly vegetables to pass by every ten minutes. So staying in New York feels like encountering "true love" a few times a day. But, the difference between true love and all other things is that it should be rare, precious, and valuable; so when you encounter it, there will be one kind, which is not easy. If you want to cherish it, you are afraid that it will not be good. Treated, it slipped away quietly, or it shattered with a snap, and the feeling of never going back. But not in New York. Whether it's a smart brain, a perfect body, unlimited creativity, or an endless supply of bills, every kind of New York has a lot to offer. People who are heart-warming are like leeks by the river, which have been cut and grown again.

If you just came to New York with the idea that you can meet true love and then have a good relationship, then you will eventually either get lost in "true love", become lustful, and then gradually numb; The wounded body is incomplete, and then there is no ability to love. But it doesn't matter, you will eventually leave; you are in New York, but you are just one of thousands of passers-by; if you leave, there will be countless others who come to New York with the same romantic and innocent idea, and then repeat yours Mistakes, over and over again. . .

However, New York is still New York, and it is always there.

Next, the Fifty Shades of Grey girl suddenly felt that she had found herself, so she wanted to get back with her ex-boyfriend, but was broken up and became a legitimate single family. Under the leadership of fat amy, the girl tried Ye Yepu's golden single life in New York, and once thought that she had found true love among all living beings. In the end, she finally realized that being single is just a state, and there is no need to put any labels on it. A thousand single people have a thousand single ways to live. As long as you are mentally strong enough to accept what single life has to offer you and enjoy it with the utmost enthusiasm, that is the best single guide.

Of course, the main line of the film is the heroine of Fifty Shades of Grey. The whole film is also interspersed with some sub-lines of typical characters with special New York characteristics. It is a good supplement to sublimation for the central idea that the whole film wants to express. For example, the bar owner of Ons, the heroine of Fifty Shades of Grey, is a typical representative of the old fritters in New York's love scene. He never sleeps with the same girl twice, and even cuts off any drinking water source at home so that the girls can Thirsty to the point of running out of water to drink, I took the initiative to leave by myself. This setting may seem exaggerated. If you have really lived in New York, you will definitely know one or two such people. Maybe a friend of a friend of yours.

When I watched this movie, I thought of the uncle I met on a friend's hang out. Uncle is a typical New York golden-collar worker. He works as a senior executive in a high-end bank. It can be seen that he is well maintained in the gym. We all have three rounds of wine as a group, and when we are ready to go back to our homes, my uncle and I One direction, so walk side by side. When I was drinking, I didn't communicate much with my uncle. I just felt that he was a person who was very demanding of himself, but he also knew how to loosen himself up when it was time to relax.

As he walked, he took out his mobile phone, then made a call and said,
are you at home? I'm in ktown, just finished drinking, do you want me to come over?
Then hang up. Seeing me looking at him blindly, he asked me with a smile, do you know what a booty call is?
I continued to look blinded and said I didn't know.
He laughed again and said that I was just that. Little girl, when a boy calls you in the middle of the night and wants to see you, you have to remember that this is a booty call. Don't be silly.
Then he waved his sleeves, sat on the cab and left. Leave me alone and continue to be blinded. . .

I don't know why, but this memory is very impressive to me. At that time, I just came to New York, and I thought that uncle was as cool as the one in the movie. It was later discovered that this was a true portrayal of some people in New York. They may be the living archetypes of the singles guide.

Finally I want to say that no matter how you choose to live your single life, it is a personal choice.

As for people, the most important thing is to be happy.

    How can someone like Robin be a best friend for a little sheep like the heroine who pulls a zipper on the back and sets up an agency that doesn't know anything. It's not legal at all, okay? Robin suggested adding 10 times the number of scenes, this movie can be five stars. I read the original book for the author of He's not that into you. It's pretty routine in some places, but it's still not as good as that one.
