For Jane, it always reminds me of Jo in the 19th edition of "Little Women" and her classic line

"Little Women" lines from Jo

“I just feel like …women they…they have minds …and they have souls, as well as just hearts and they've got TAMBITION , they've got to TALENTS, as well as just beauty .

And I'm SO SICK OF people saying that ..that the LOVE is just all the women fit for. I'm SO SICK OF it !

But I'm so lonely…”

Words of this passage stuck in my heart like needles, and I burst into tears after listening to it. Now it is a classic engraved in my mind. It is highly recommended to memorize it.

Jane is about to turn 40 and earn money by writing. The meager income is not enough for her unmarried sister and elderly mother to live a prosperous and comfortable life. Her heart is very contradictory. On the one hand, she looks forward to love and longs to pursue love, but even if she encounters love, she backs down because she firmly believes that a marriage without money and wealth as the material basis will not be happy. On the other hand, she longs for wealth, because that is the only way to obtain happiness, but she is not willing to marry a family heir she does not love for wealth. In the face of the fetters of worldly life, she is in a dilemma, contradictory, and suffering!

The boy whom he admired when he was young and ignorant is now the father of six children and a muleteer. He asked her, "Do you regret not agreeing to my proposal?" She turned her head to look at the boy who was no longer there. , gently stroked the back of his hand and smiled. That's the answer, I don't think she regrets her decision, and the same goes for going back in time! She is so stubborn and firm.

I have watched some movies and TV series, some of which really touched me a lot, such as

Jane Austen's Regret

little woman

Gay and Mortal Season 1

Marriage is not the whole meaning of life, love is not, only you are. Are you doing well, are you happy, and are you still worrying about your livelihood?

Money is the foundation of all material and spiritual life. The world has never been fair. Some people are born poor and work hard for money all their lives. If they are not allowed to receive education, they are naturally not spiritually nourished. They seem to be inferior citizens who have been abandoned by God. Is this fair? In the end, it's just a lack of digital banknotes.

Since I can't have happiness and money at the same time, it's good for me to have myself, let myself become happiness and money itself, and happiness will follow me from now on. Instead of relying on others to achieve it, it is better to let go of your fantasy and make yourself the only strong person you rely on!
