Youth is gone, grown-up

When I was in elementary school, no one played with me for a while. Every time after class, when others were playing on campus, I would lean against the door of the classroom and watch them play. I didn't go out to play on weekends, just stayed at home alone. Now I can't remember what caused it, but it seems to have messed with the children in it! I don't know if it's because of this experience back then that I'm still a little out of touch now. Now I still often go to the cafeteria to eat by myself~~~

I just entered high school, and I need military training first. Once during a break, I turned around inadvertently and saw a girl with a long ponytail playing with the boy next to her in the distance. The girl is slightly fat and has a baby face. From a distance, she is quite cute. Although I took a few more glances at that time, I still told my introverted self at that time that this kind of girl is not in the same world as me, and there is no possibility of intersection. I don’t know that the class will be divided later. The girl is in the same class as me, and the seat is still with me. In front, I see her black waterfall every day, which has led to my signature for a long time: your hair brushes my face, and I smell your fragrance. Later, the cheerful and lively she became my first love (I had a secret love for a long time...), which made me, a dull and silly boy, become less lonely in a lonely high school, and added a lot of smiles. However, in the end, she was still young and ignorant and did not fight for it after graduation. Now she has already married someone else and had children, and I am still here alone.

Most of the reason why I like this movie is that I think of when I was young, as if I saw a young and lonely self. At that time, I was a loner, introverted, and not good at words. I wanted to enter other people's circles, but I still didn't have the courage in the end.

When I saw Charlie eating and reading alone in the cafeteria, occasionally raising his head to look at other classmates chatting and laughing at other tables in the distance, I think he still yearns to be with his classmates. When they finally drive through the tunnel, say
This one moment when you know you're not a sad story. You are alive. And you stand up and see the lights on buildings, and everything that makes you wonder. And you are listening to that song on that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment, I swear we are infinite.
I really want to cry.
Youth is gone, it is already an adult, and all kinds of youth are also in the past, which will never be forgotten. Now I always think, in fact, youth is the most beautiful time in a person's life.
