You will be your own person

nothing to get past

When we were kids, we all went through a lot of big things.

​When you were 6 years old, you accidentally broke a bowl. Afraid of being beaten, you lied and said that the bowl fell to the ground yourself. But in the end, you were beaten up by your parents. That night, you cried for a long time, and even had nightmares in bed. But when you wake up the next morning, you're jumping up and down, and you've long forgotten the bowl.

​​When you were 12 years old, you received a special letter. At that time, after you finished reading, you blushed immediately, and then you secretly took the letter to the head teacher's office and complained that someone liked you, as if you had done something wrong.

​​The teacher touched your head and said that being liked is a good thing. So from then on, you no longer regard liking as a burden, but turn it into a driving force and courage to move forward.At the age of 18, you failed the college entrance examination. The day you get your grades, you feel like your life is over. Looking at the classmates who are named in the gold list, you are both envious and inferior. Until many years later, you start a business and become a boss. One day, you recruit a student who graduated from the school you want to go to, and you suddenly feel relieved.

​​When we grew up, we also experienced many great things.

​​ When you were 24 years old, you went to a city alone to work hard. The rent you couldn't afford, the job you didn't like, and the confusion about the future made you feel depressed and tormented.

​​ Just when you thought you were desperate and wanted to give up, a seemingly accidental but inevitable good opportunity threw an olive branch to you. With your own efforts and persistence, you ended the experience of packing up and leaving in the middle of the night, and gained a place in this city.

​​At the age of 28, the girlfriend who had been in a relationship with you for 5 years proposed to break up. The night you broke up, you sat alone on the balcony facing the stars until dawn. You thought you would never meet the right person again in your life. Until another 5 years, you got married and had children, and one day on the road, you met the old her by chance. At that moment, you were already relieved.At the age of 40, your career has entered a serious bottleneck period, your parents have been admitted to the hospital one after another, and your child is in a rebellious adolescence.

​​ At that time, you would often sit quietly for a moment in the office after get off work before leaving. Later, you finally survived the most difficult period.

​​ In life, people will experience many ups and downs and setbacks. But when you look back, you will find that those hurdles that you once thought you could not overcome have finally passed; those difficulties that you once thought you could not solve have finally been solved.

​​ Along the way, you gradually become more mature, more rational, and more powerful. And those difficult things that once seemed huge, now seem to be nothing more than trivial things.

​​In fact, no one is born to know: it turns out that breaking a bowl is no big deal; it turns out that being liked by others will become the best memory when you grow up; it turns out that the college entrance examination is only a very important turning point in life, not the whole of life.In fact, no one is born to know: it turns out that as long as you work hard, you will make yourself better; it turns out that being disappointed in a relationship does not deprive you of the right to be loved; it turns out that you have to face life and death, and The responsibilities and obligations that must be fulfilled, as long as you do your best, you don't have to be too hard on yourself. But the experience of these so-called past people cannot be copied, and we cannot take shortcuts. They require you to try, experience, and experience for yourself. Perhaps in the process, there will be confusion, pain and trouble. But it is precisely those who make you sad, those things that disappoint you, that will become an essential test and exercise on the way to your growth.

​​ So, no matter how much difficulty and sadness you are facing at this moment, there is no need to feel pessimistic or hopeless. As long as you can be patient and strong, after crossing the ditch and the hurdle, you will eventually become your own past person.
