a bird

"A number!", Lady Bird is shouting to her mother, how much it will cost to raise her, and she will pay her back in the future. Indeed, seeing this inexplicable confrontation, I didn't expect some messy family affection to be measured by money. It is very like a feeling that everyone encounters in ordinary times. It seems wrong, but it has to be done. Well, I still can't describe it, I can only change it to a last resort, maybe it's a resonance (bar)

Then there was the first quarrel with her mother in the car. Miss Bird, in a fit of anger, pushed open the passenger's door, jumped out of the moving car, and broke her arm. Add one to the feeling described above.

"I wish you like me."

"Of course I love you."

"But do you like me?"

"I want you to be the very best version of yourself that you can be."

"What if this is the best version?"

Love and conflict in Miss Bird, that sentence, I wish I could experience something. Love is different from liking, it is the recognition in family affection, it is what should be experienced in that kind of experience, in that township and mother, in that city and the world, it really shows no room for it, there is no other idea that is just like that. According to my own thinking, it should not only be summed up as simple rebellion, but it should never be done to fight against my mother or to win some kind of recognition.

The conflict between pursuit and reality should not always be attributed to people themselves. After passing the road test, Miss Bird's sobriety after drinking and vomiting in the big city should not be attributed to right or wrong, growing up. The weight should not be affordable with such a simple description. When she left a message at home, when she read her mother's letter, she was moved to tears and built on understanding, and it was sublimated to a higher level.

I don't want to write any more, I'll just get into all kinds of messes and unsightly. I still think of a lyric I saw before. It is probably said that life is 30,000 days in the world. At that time, my first reaction was to think that a year is about 300 days, so 10,000 days is a lifetime, so 10,000 days are the previous generation, and 10,000 days. Tian is this generation, and 10,000 days are the next generation. It feels like 30,000 days. It was only later that I realized that a person’s life is really 30,000 days, not three lifetimes. But then again, in the wrong sense, it seems that it can be perfunctory.

    I am very self-confident, basically without themes, that is, the trivialities of youth are stacked and magnified, there is no resonance, and the details of people are less pierced, and the heroine is very annoying.
