Toss

Today, I saw an article called "Young people, after work, they must be fooling around". After reading it carefully, I think it is priceless and tells a simple story, but it obviously tells not only the story itself, but also the expectation in life and the perfect combination of work and life.

The young man in the article is Julie, who is actually a 40-year-old clerk in a big company, and a frustrated little white-collar worker. She answers complaints for the company every day, and her life is crowded with rubbish messages and even curses, but she can't change it. She crosses the subway and bus every day, and rushes around in the crowded crowd, but she can't escape.

When we see here, we feel more like our work and life, and we are hard and tired along the way, just like all the countless young people in our city.

But Julie decided to change, thinking about her little interest and the dinner she must cook every day. Julie bought a recipe called Julia at the roadside stall, opened a blog on the Internet, cooked a meal according to Julia's recipe after work every day, and then recorded the process in her blog.

In the blog, she records the happiness of cooking on paper, describes the know-how of handling mushrooms on screen, and makes a precise description of fried eggs, in which happiness and fun come from You Ran. In this way, the more she writes, the more she laughs. No matter whether there are readers in the blog or not, she tells her feelings in a cheerful tone with hope. Later, the blog was crowded with people, and even more readers waited in front of the computer on time every day, expecting to share her experiences and feelings.

In the end, Julie's blog was assembled into a book, which turned out to be a gourmet spiritual recipe. When she was 90 years old, her life was as bright and dazzling as the Milky Way but so ordinary.

When the story is seen here, is it inferior to us? In reality, everyone is often full of complaints about life, complaining about the boring life, but forgetting how to create interesting life; Counting in detail, our life after work is not good, but only "watching dramas, playing mobile phones and wechat". . . 。” Or we just didn't find our own fun.

To outsiders, many things I have done are tinkering, but no one knows what kind of seeds those little things will sow.

I have written many useless words, which are not homework at school or project reports at work. They are like the lost and memorial of my youth, recording my shining and dim youth, but never lost.

I have traveled a lot of useless roads. When I am alone, I often travel alone. I have been to some mountains of scenic spots and historical sites, and I have also been to the seaside in the south and north. The journey all the way is like a toss, but the scenery all the way is reflected in my heart.

I have also been fond of all kinds of useless interests, and I always train myself to tinker after work. For example, calligraphy and martial arts are all like Julie, and I can find a calm and exciting adjusting agent when I am tortured at work. The most important thing is to let yourself embrace work again and find the essence of life instead.

Confused, let's start tossing after work. Maybe one day, it will become our own happiness, and it will shine like a dream.
