However, on the other side of youth, it is often full of pain and haze. Those are often the parts that we do not want to recall, and we will selectively ignore them when recalling.
However, any painful memory has its meaning. If it is not accompanied by those pains, how can we feel those beautiful things more deeply.
Charlie has many shadows of deja vu, just like that introverted, sensitive, kind-hearted adolescent, who dared not participate, wrote the answers in a notebook, and silently satisfied himself; he would not resist when bullied, and endure silently; Seeing the girl he has a crush on with other boys, he doesn't say anything, but just guards her silently in his own way; even if he wants to break up, he doesn't dare to open his mouth because he is worried about hurting the other party, only when he drinks too much He speaks freely when he drinks alcohol or unconsciously takes medicine.
It is difficult to fully understand everyone's mind, especially an adolescent with such a delicate heart. I dare not say that I fully understand his thoughts, I just follow his vision, to feel his life, to feel his heart, and to feel what I feel in him.
Before high school, Charlie's life must have been terrible, so he counted how many days he had in high school, hoping that it would end a day earlier.
No friends, but luckily he met a good teacher;
he was laughed at by his classmates, bullied by his classmates, eating alone in the cafeteria, and looking at the lively crowd around him, he looked very lonely;
fortunately, he met Patrick and Sam, a pair of candid and outspoken people. Straightforward brothers and sisters, maybe they seem to have various problems in the eyes of others, but they are really a good brother and sister.
They accepted Charlie, brought him into their circle, made him feel like a company, felt cared for and accepted.
Compared with the loneliness before, what a joy it is. Even the hallucinations that often appeared disappeared.
So after being away from them for a while and after they left to go to college, the huge contrast inside was so unbearable.
He valued his friends so much, they were part of him, inseparable, irreplaceable.
Fortunately, he found such a home.
Finally, under the melody of that song, he stands where Sam used to stand, with his arms outstretched, feeling the "infinity" he feels.
The heart that was once trapped in the corner was finally able to break free from the shadow and be released in the vast world.
Although the pain of the past made us fall into despair at one time, we once thought that there would be nothing more painful in the world than this.
After that kind of pain is surpassed, we will be able to more truly appreciate the feeling of growth, and we will be able to appreciate that there are still such beautiful things in this world.
That is probably the meaning of youth.
