People who have dreams are not alone

1.

Are you lonely?

In the morning, you go to work by yourself according to the schedule, and after work, you are packed in the car with a large group of strangers with a lot of sleepiness. The street scene outside the window is so beautiful that sometimes you feel inexplicably moved, and sometimes you feel disgusted for no reason.

You look forward to doubling holidays because you can indulge yourself in watching dramas until 3 am and then sleep until 3 pm. But you dread holidays because you wake up in a daze, with no direction except to order a bento for the evening.

You can easily get yourself out of bed, freshen up your body and go out shopping, but walking alone on the street, looking at this familiar but unfamiliar city, a sense of alienation wrapped in the bustle comes over you.

You dare not go out to the movies because the couples in the cinema will poke your sensitive nerves; you dare only buy the smallest inch cake for your birthday because you can't eat it all alone; you dare not forget your keys because you know no one will open the door for you.

For the future, you from the beginning of being full of confidence long ago turned into now gray. You hate the days that seem never-ending, with no progress bar in sight. You're desperate and feel like everything right now sucks.

But, you know what? There is another kind of people in life, the same early twenties, the same 9 to 5, but they are lodged in their castle never alone.

When I used to learn guitar, I met a girl. The girl grew up loving dance, and the university read the art major. When she graduated, she wanted to go to the north, because there is not only a higher level of the industry but also a good salary. But her boyfriend wanted her to stay and work together, and her parents and classmates also advised her that a girl running to the big city to suffer that crime.

But she felt that no matter money or ability, she needed a springboard, so she finally went out without a second thought.

When we met some time ago, I asked her casually during dinner: "It's quite lonely over there by yourself, isn't it?"

She said, "Lonely? I had a hard time when I couldn't make ends meet at the beginning, and I shed tears when I encountered unreasonable difficulties from rude trainees, but I never thought of giving up, let alone being lonely."

Without waiting for me to be surprised, she continued to break her fingers and said, "I have to have the leisure of loneliness, too, and now I just feel that I don't have enough time. You know, I'm still a lot away from realizing my dream: I need enough to pay for a year's rent for the venue, and all kinds of equipment for the dance room, hanging stereo, wall mirror, floor, floor rubber ...... and I'll have to hire a teacher or two by then, pre-publicity, it all costs money."

With a sip of juice, she said happily again: "Now although tired a little, I can make money, learn more and more things, and every day feel seems very full ah. Although the vast majority of the time is alone, alone to work, alone cooking, alone shopping, as long as you think of the future look, can not help but secretly happy." The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.

I thought of my cousin again. The cousin's college life is very boring, often by classmates and roommates teased that do not get along.

The other people are in class, shopping, or lying in bed playing with their phones, and on their double break with their boyfriends. But my cousin spent the majority of her time in the library and attending various study classes, in addition to attending dormitory dinners.

I sometimes joke with her, don't let yourself get too lonely, you'll have no friends like this.

She gave me a blank look, and then smiled and said, "Where would be lonely, loneliness never appears on the surface, but should come from one's heart."

I admired her inwardly. Like most people, she always knows what she wants; but again, unlike many people, she will work towards her goal step by step.

If she likes flower arrangement, she will find a lot of study materials and take flower arrangement art; if she likes painting, she will also use her scholarship and part-time job income to enroll in painting classes in her spare time. When many students are still bored and confused, she has already clearly planned her life trajectory.

About loneliness, I remembered a saying that I forgot the source but it impressed me: loneliness is not on the mountain but on the street, not in one person but among many people.

Most of the people who are in the dusty world are extremely dissatisfied with the current situation, but their plans for the future are incomparably abstract. They are always thinking of escaping, but they don't know where to go. In the end, the escape becomes an escape, laughing loudly in the noisy crowd and pitying themselves alone in the silent midnight.

There is a kind of person who seems to be lonely, but in fact, they are already blooming inside. They are not afraid of the 9 to 5 cycle of work, fearless of the boring life day after day, and silently chase their heroic dreams in the ripples of the years.

The truly lonely people are not the ones who bury their heads in the ground and are resolute and determined dreamers, but the ones who wander between reality and dreams, disappointment and longing. If a person does not see hope, it is only because he is disappointed in himself. If a person feels lonely, it is only because there is nothing but a mechanized life that can fill the gulf inside him.

I always believe in the truth that busy people are not confused and dreamers are not lonely.
