The years are like a song, standing in the memories of time to look at youth, student days like the mountain spring, clear and sweet, as the moon on the sea, bright and clear.

During the youthful years, you don't have to worry about work, you don't have to run around for life, and you don't have to be tired of the chores of life, it's enough to have studied in your eyes.

The first thing that you need to do is to make friends and simply get along with them, play with them is a good friend, do not play with them.

When you are young, the feelings of the most simple, at that time, you have not been intruded on by the world, have not been involved in some bad customs, and are friends with people who can do as they wish, like to say a couple of words, do not like it is not fake.

Life

When you grow up slowly, you see too many hearts, experience too many things in the world, and many people have put down their initial hearts, no longer able to hold the initial simplicity to make friends with people.

Everyone says "thirty and standing, forty and not confused", once in the family to hide from the storm, but also slowly grow into a family shelter for the pillar, once free people also by a variety of realistic pressure, living more and more hard work.

The student era is always simple, so people in middle age, after experiencing the trials and tribulations of life, only feel more and more precious student era, so the class reunion emerged, and became a bridge for everyone to remember their youth.

In the beginning, the classmate's gathering is just a simple party, we get together to discuss life after graduation, reminisce about the fun of student days, who has a crush on who, who and who confesses, who is looking for teachers to report, etc., spit out the difficulties and hard work to find a job and happy together.

However, many years after graduation, the students went their way and grew into different looks in life, and the class reunion was not just a simple get-together, but gradually polluted by reality, with a strange atmosphere.

Each in the life of the road taken different, grow into a different look, people to the contrast is stark, the heart embarrassed.

At the party, some people talk a lot, are polite, some are full of foul language and boisterous, and others reveal scars, and are sarcastic.

The once familiar people have become so strange, once the conversation has become polite and distant, and even nothing to say.

The people to middle age, career and family have been stable, this time the classmate's reunion has long been completely different, so people to middle age should stay away from this contaminated classmates reunion.

When people reach middle age, the position they are in is stereotyped, everyone experiences different things, the environment they are in is different, and the people they meet are also different, so their classmates do not look the same.

Some people work hard and endure the wind and rain; some have office buildings, comfortable and cozy, warm in winter and cool in summer; some are in high places, and executives, well-dressed, enjoy the envy.

The snob at the party is patting on the back, honest people are playing with their phones with their heads down, and how many hurtful arrows are hidden under the surface of the mingling?

Some people at the party drink unconscious, mad with alcohol, talking about what to drink and spitting out the truth to show off their achievements today, or perhaps taking the opportunity to vent their bitterness, in short, a lot of ugly.

The memory of innocence no longer exists, only the remaining utilitarian.

The last layer of the student's beauty is torn apart, and the ugly face is revealed by the teeth and claws.

Successful people also have a successful people's battle, climbing career, climbing family, the words talked about is all about showing off, for those achievements of ordinary classmates are disdainful, so worldly, will only lose all the human edge.

People in middle age, what party has not seen, the party is just dinner, tea, drinking.

Feelings are deep and stuffy, whether or not they will drink, will always be this sentence to make it very difficult.

The drink is difficult for themselves, do not drink will be said, is not to look down on the people who persuade the wine, forced to drink, the more wine, the more friendship but the less drink.

Each classmate gathering brings not good memories, but bitterness.

The party has changed its flavor, and both economically and psychologically is under greater pressure. Originally it was to have fun at the party, did not expect to harvest all kinds of frustration, once the friendship was also party squandered little left.

There are achievements to participate in the party, the former silent people but in the ears to talk incessantly, the former contradictory classmates in front of the nod and bow, the most boastful words will not make you get the real satisfaction, you will only feel bored.

People who have not accomplished anything to attend the party, from the previous eloquent and become silent, strong to listen to them talk about topics they do not understand, can only smile, of fear that they do not know anything, a joke opened, attracting the ridicule and disdain of others.

Sometimes the cold eyes can see the reality, away from the class reunion, and will not make real friends away.

True friends are not maintained by such worldly parties. Be a sober middle-aged person to avoid experiencing the sadness of people leaving for tea.

The better people understand that people should learn to be alone in their middle age and learn to enjoy loneliness.

A party is a group of people's performance, are the eight immortals over the sea when each shows their skills, and loneliness is a person's party, is a person cooking wine to enjoy flowers, leisurely enjoy.

Looking back, it's not all bad, leaving an inch of room for classmates to think about or clean, unadulterated by other things.

The fact is that you will not be able to get a good deal on your own.
