How many times in life do we feel like an actor, performing our own drama. But who would have thought that we have been arranged clearly by life without paying attention? It’s like a low-key and a bit awkward movie. It’s obviously your own life, but there are always people behind the scenes pointing fingers at you and helping you arrange every scene. It’s just that when you are doing a little better, or when you meet a smile with a play in your eyes, you can’t help but feel ecstatic and feel that you seem to be the luckiest one in this script.
We used to laugh and talk that life is just an absurd drama, the lines are unchanged, and the ending is doomed. But I always try to play a self-righteous “protagonist” and feel that I can control everything. What’s the result? You see, life always doesn’t give you the script you want. It’s like a director whose mood changes with the wind. It will arrange any scene for you, and even doesn’t give you any lines, leaving you to guess.
From confusion to epiphany, the absurdity of life is not as easy as we think
Perhaps, I really underestimated the difficulty of life. Thinking back to the beginning, every time I faced my own difficulties, I always thought that everything would slowly become clear because I made the right decision. However, life never gave me a line, not even the simplest direction.
For a while, I was particularly confused. I wanted to give up, but I also wanted to work hard, and I was afraid that I would miss something. I lived a dull life alone, and occasionally looked in the mirror and imagined the plot I played. I was a little panicked and uneasy in my heart, but I always felt that I had to persist and pursue something for something, and I was not even afraid of giving everything. Every time I messed myself up, I couldn’t help but think in the end: “Are you playing your own life?”
At that time, I occasionally saw some lines similar to those in the movie, and a complex emotion surged in my heart. All the intricacies and uneasiness seemed to tell me a truth: life is not a sweet drama without any pain. It can even let you see countless unbearable scenes, and you must play it without regrets. Facing these lines and those unsatisfactory turns, I realized that we really can’t escape.
Love is no longer a simple expectation, but a deep understanding
I have also fallen into the whirlpool of love in those days. When you really experience the ups and downs of love, you will understand that love is completely different from the dream scenes in the movie. Love in life can never be only sweet and romantic. It accompanies you to try to understand each other, tolerate each other, and even change yourself.
At that time, I made many choices for love, and even felt that I was no longer the simple me in the past. I interpreted my love fantasy like a movie plot, but reality gave me many unexpected challenges. Every time I thought I was on the edge of happiness, life always teased me.
A relationship is not just the simple dependence you think. It is like an unrehearsed stage play, and both parties always find their respective positions in constant running-in. The taste of love is sweet at first, but then it is pulled by life and stumbles.
Sometimes I can’t help but wonder, what kind of emotion is love? Is it to be with the person who understands you, or to gradually discover your true inner needs as time goes by? The definition of love has become blurred. Its meaning is no longer the dependence of two people, but from falling together to standing together.
Those pains are the compulsory courses of life
We all hope that there will be less pain and fewer misses in life, but who can avoid it? You see, the characters in those movies always have to go through thousands of hardships before they usher in their perfect endings. What about life? The pain of life has never disappeared. Every time it suddenly visits, it is like a silent drama that never ends.
I remember that there was a time when I walked too fast and ignored too many details. I always looked at the surface of life but forgot to go deep. Looking back on the road I have walked, it turns out that those pains are gifts given to us by the past years. They originally had no obvious value, and we couldn’t even realize their role at the time. But they have become a necessary part of life and the source of our tenacity and strength.
And we always learn tolerance in the passage of time, learn to keep smiling and move forward in those moments of heartache. Pain is like a kind of sharpening, polishing the depth and strength of our hearts, so that we can gradually feel the true meaning of life in the wind and rain.
Time takes away the pain, but also makes life richer
Life always fills our ordinary time with countless twists and turns, but time repairs everything so peacefully. Every past pain will become indifferent at a certain moment. We look at ourselves who have been hurt, sighing at those imperfect memories, and slowly, the smile returns to our faces.
Over the years, I have stood at every crossroads of life, always thinking that I can make the best choice, but looking back, it turns out that everything has been arranged properly by fate. In any case, we will eventually move forward, learn to be tough, and learn to face every unpredictable variable in life.
When all the memories become blurred, we will understand that the true meaning of life is precisely the ups and downs and imperfections in it. It is these pains and misunderstandings that make us finally calm and free.
