[2017.4.23] Just like George, I have been thinking about things that are meaningless at this stage. I can't control myself. Facing the darkness and the future, a person is endlessly confused and overwhelmed, and once he stops thinking, he will have inexplicable negative emotions. I can't see my life clearly, it's like being in a hole, the exit is close at hand, but I can't get out no matter what. I want to break through this layer of confusion, but I am confused and can't do it. People who can seriously think about the meaning of life either have nothing to do or live a carefree life. I don't know which one I belong to. What I'm going to face, I know. But somehow, I felt no pressure. In other words, the smooth sailing life made me not have a sense of crisis. I know this is bad. After all, I know I have no way out. But like George, he also knew graduation was coming, but he couldn't find that meaning. But unlike us, his thoughts have family reasons. What's more, he has Jelly, and the white cloth in his dream will paint her likeness. He also tried to change his teachers and parents. Then came the divorced mother and the insolvent family, who clearly had some sort of responsibility. In this way, he seems to have found meaning. However, I still can't seem to find it. I once read a sentence, if you can't find the meaning of life, it is better to live first, maybe one day you will find it. However, what is terrifying is that this kind of purposeless life is very tiring. ... It's ridiculous, not sleeping in the middle of the night and getting nervous. But, what I feel, it is.

[2017.5.21] One month ago at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, I watched this movie silently. The word "confused" was very suitable for me and my mood watching this movie at that time. Fortunately, a month later I am not still so depressed. Just like George, pick up your homework, and for some reason, go on.

The Art of Getting By quotes

  • George Zinavoy: I'm sorry, I ruined your night.

    Sally Howe: No, I'm sorry. I lost you. I didn't keep my promise.

  • Dustin: Women like being desired. Just throw her up against a wall and start kissing her. Chances are she'll kiss you back, and if she doesn't, at least you tried. You've got to do something or else you'll lose her.
