Not Simon's Simons

Six years ago, there was still a short time before the college entrance examination. A was my best friend at that time. We hang out together every day, listening to the latest European and American music, he is keen on Avril's punk taste, I am obsessed with Taylor's country affairs. Time seems to be a long time in that small southwest city, and it can be divided infinitely, spending the whole afternoon rushing into "Prison Break" Michael J Scofield's life experience, took out a few nights and fell into the game world of "QQ Huaxia", the dense childhood singing floated up and down in the room, and finally was wrapped in the secrets and goodwill of the moment. I sensed A's liking for boys very early on, and that liking is not physically obtrusive, but one person to another "I want to care about you, I want to be nice to you, just because it makes me happy '' confession. A’s way of expressing his emotions is so pure, and he doesn’t have to hide his true self or tear his identity from me at all, and you are very fortunate to understand that those calm understandings are the broadness of a person’s future, not the college entrance examination. A year ago, when I was wandering in huge Beijing for the first time, I suddenly received a WeChat message from B in the crowded crowd of Nanluoguxiang. He told me that some time ago he had thought about suicide because he suspected that he had HIV. (due to same-sex relationships). At that time, B had just decided to go to the University of Hong Kong to study for a master's degree and was looking forward to a new life. From the chat, I can try to imagine B's situation and feelings, and the fear and worry that pervade him will all darken. I told him that I never thought that the disease itself would be a terrible thing, but that it would be terrible if you destroyed yourself. You are a person who can master yourself, and so is love, no matter who you love and how you love. In the end, nothing happened to B, and he began to know and explore a wider world in HK. I know what he has been doing is to love bravely, and let more people understand this love. A few weeks ago, C, who works in a bank, told everyone in the chat group that he was going to work in Sansha for two months. It is the southernmost city in China, located in the Spratly Islands. On the boat to his destination, he fell in love with a boy. C's love is bright, like the beautiful weather on the island, so sure, real, so real that we start to imagine all the possible stories of the journey: the boy will only stay in Sansha for two weeks, and the short-lived love will Spinning under the starry sky south of the border; he may not like boys at all, but scoffs at these feelings wrapped in the sea breeze; he will block him, and they can't even get to know each other more and more simply. C is a man of courage, never flinching, in all the love like a sea and a dream, he is himself, all the time, going to the next island, the next lighthouse. After watching "Love, Simon", I suddenly remembered these people and their stories, they may not come out, maybe they are still in the way and take a long walk, but it doesn't really matter, just like Simon Will warmly think why only the same sex should be specially To show who you like, and heterosexuals don't need to. What is more important is the gesture of liking and loving each time, as Xi Louchen commented on the movie, "I fell in love with a person, he may be the black boy diagonally in front of the classroom, the uniformed clerk in the waffle shop. , is the blond piano boy in the troupe. What I love may not be anyone, it's the safety of turning on the turn signal, the habit of wearing a hoodie, the freedom at the top of the Ferris wheel, the sweetness of the Oreo sandwich" I looked at the Ferris wheel on the lawn in the distance Ups and downs, one by one figurative Simons flowed in my heart. At that moment, you no longer need to be confused or hesitant, you just need to understand that many people are "loving you, my Simons".
