A true lotus from the mud

What happened or felt in the past, I am often willing to share with others, or at least say it to communicate with others. Later, until no one seemed to understand how I was feeling, or there was little opportunity to communicate how I felt about every little thing, I became very uncomfortable, like there was no way out.

Later, the people I met in my life were so independent that they would not often share their subtle feelings with others, which also made it difficult for me to adapt.

Until today, when I saw the heroine in "Harvard Road", I didn't understand that sometimes, when you are going through hardships, you really hope that others will understand you, and you hope that people will share weal and woe with you, so that you will have the motivation to move forward and persevere. Go on, but when I saw that this little fifteen-year-old body has endured so many unimaginable hardships, and she has nothing, and doesn't even give herself the opportunity to complain, I know , How much endurance people have to face suffering, this movie shocked me.

She said: "Fortunately, things like security [at that time] had been left behind, and I was only forced to move forward, and I could only think of looking forward and seeing how far I could do it. Where can we go.” Perhaps this is the attitude we should have when facing suffering.

What did this movie teach me? At least, while suffering, this is the best way to face it, instead of going all the way back, because sometimes, when you are not able to face the things that make you uncomfortable When it comes to things, blindly reviewing will not bring about real change, but may lead to a situation of constant analysis, trapped in "failure", trapped in emotion, trapped in complaining, trapped in hatred, Can never get away.

Liz's most powerful place is right here~ Go forward.
