Not long ago, my ID card was about to expire, so I decided to get a new one. The moment I got my new ID card, I felt as if I had traveled through time and space, as if I had seen the trajectory of my own growth. Looking at that familiar face, I felt an inexplicable emotion, as if I had seen my own journey from youth to maturity, from immaturity to sophistication. I have looked at the ** on my ID card many times, and found that my face has gradually changed, and this change is not only the traces left by the years, but also the changes brought about by experience and growth. Just like from the age of 20 to 30, the life I have experienced in the past ten years is far more than just getting older, but also a life journey full of twists and turns and insights. Sometimes I wonder if everyone feels this wayLooking at the ** on the ID card, will anyone sigh the passage of time and the changes in life?Maybe this is the only way to grow, we are all constantly going through and changing, and finally become a better version of ourselves. When I first entered the workforce, I was as fearless as a newborn calf, fearless about quitting my job, changing jobs, or even about gaps on my resume. When I was looking for a job, I just wanted to pursue what I wanted to do, and I worked extra hard and worked overtime, but I didn't feel that it was hard. At that time, I seemed to have an inexhaustible energy every day, and even the outline of the future seemed to be trimmed with gold and shining brightly. However, as time went by, year after year, prices continued to rise, and my mental strength gradually declined. The commute was getting longer, which made my aversion to overtime worse;The pressure of rent discouraged me from quitting. The real predicament made me deeply realize the helplessness that hard work may not lead to success, and also smoothed out my enthusiasm and expectations for life. I started to transform into a big adult who took stability very seriously. I became cautious, no longer taking risks lightly, preferring to choose a stable life. I understood the hardships and hardships of life, and I also learned to remain humble and compromise in the face of reality. Although I have lost the passion and drive I once had, I have learned how to thrive in this complex society and how to remain stable in this ever-changing world.
Electricity and water bills, like monthly visits to creditors, are always a reminder of the heavy pressure of life. The house and the car are like two mountains, pressing on their shoulders and heavy. Five insurances and one housing fund, like a chain, will firmly ** me in the bustle and hustle and bustle of the city. I had to endure and not get sick, because I was the pillar of the family, the support of my parents, and the sustenance of my wife. I have to learn to endure all of this, because that's life, that's responsibility. I remember when I was 20 years old, I didn't know how to use a printer, my relationships were messy, and I was confused about my work. Now, however, I'm so comfortable dealing with these issues as if everything was a breeze. However, at the age of 20, I will never understand that standing at thirty is not based on the accumulation of age and experience, but by being wronged and strong. Those difficulties and setbacks, those helplessness and confusion have become stepping stones for my growth. They have made me stronger, braver, and more independent. Now in my thirties, I understand the true meaning of life and my responsibilities. I knew I had to persevere, because only then could I become a better version of myself and create a better life for my family. When it comes to love, we always think of those young days, and every child had a longing for love in their hearts. In the flower season and rainy season of youth, meeting that heartwarming person seems to be the whole meaning of life. Once upon a time, I could cross the mountains and rivers desperately, just for that warm sentence"Waiting for you", willing to wait silently and survive the long years. Because we believe in the power of love, which can overcome all difficulties, let us fight against our lives, and we long to spend our lives with our beloved. When we get married, we promise to be a couple for the rest of our lives and work together to survive the storm. However, some loves don't have a story after all. After experiencing the ups and downs of love, I put away the innocence and innocence that I once had. In front of the South Wall, I learned to grow and understand that love is not all there is to life. In the process of growing up, we gradually put away the persistence and innocence of love. Today, I cherish the people around me more and understand the importance of managing relationships. Although some loves never have a later story, I believe that in the days to come, there will be more love waiting for me to pursue and cherish.
Nowadays, I no longer easily compromise with marriage, nor do I blindly pursue the so-called "true love" and enter marriage. This may be the maturity after years of precipitation, I have learned to weigh and choose, and I have learned to cherish the people around me. Looking back on the past ten years, I have been exhausted on the road of love. Now, I aspire to have a warm little home and live an ordinary and authentic life. After all, firewood, rice, oil, salt and trivial things abound in life, and life can't withstand too much love and hatred. Maybe at the age of 20, I will never understand this, but now I understand: love is beautiful, but choosing the right person to accompany you for a lifetime is even more important. At the age of 20, it seems to be the intersection of two time and space, like a bridge, connecting the past and the future. Standing on the side of the bridge, there are those old friends who have grown up with us, and they are like ancient trees that have witnessed our growth;On the other hand, there are colleagues who have entered the society, they are like the rising sun, full of vitality and enthusiasm. At that time, the whole world was like a new one, and we were constantly trying and experiencing with curiosity and a desire to explore. All kinds of interesting things experienced during the day will definitely be shared with the best friends at night, and the laughter and tacit understanding between each other are self-evident. The weekend social activities allowed us to meet three or five new friends, and everyone talked about their ideals, shared their lives, and even encountered similar difficulties, as if the whole world was resonating with us. However, I don't know when it started, but every year that passed, I had fewer friends around me. Maybe it's because of the pressure of life, the busyness of work, or maybe it's because the trajectories of life have begun to intersect differently. We begin to realize that some people are destined to only accompany us for a certain period of time, while others will accompany us through the rest of our lives. In this process, we have learned to cherish and be grateful. We understand the value of friendship and the impermanence of life. But in any case, the special age of 20 is always the most memorable page in our lives. It has witnessed our growth, our changes, and made us cherish the future even more.
They began to have their own small circle, every **9 to 5, step by step, talking about marriage, starting a family, as if they had become parents in the blink of an eye. We drift apart on the road of life, and finally lie in each other's WeChat lists, even if we are familiar, we are like parallel strangers. A 20-year-old friend is a friend who is less than 30 years old. It took me a long time to digest this truth, and it took me even longer to get out of the crowd, turning the regrets of gathering and dispersing into fuel for growth. Maybe at the age of 20, I will never understand that from the initial enduring loneliness to the last enjoyment of solitude, I have experienced ten years of joys and sorrows, in exchange for the growth of my own.
In the show, Da Zhang Wei once said: "I used to think that I could subvert the world, but when I grew up, I found that it would be good not to be changed by the world." This quote touched me deeply and reminded me of my own upbringing. When I was 18 years old, I had endless dreams and ambitions to change the world and make it work the way I wanted it to. However, as the years passed, I came to realize that growing up is a complex process, full of joys and sorrows, ups and downs. In this process, we not only need to face various challenges and pressures from the outside world, but also need to constantly adjust our mentality and cognition. Sometimes, we find that certain concepts and values that we once held on to have become vulnerable to the impact of reality. And sometimes, we find that some of the things we once ignored or despised become more and more important in the process of growing up. Just like the decade between the ages of 20 and 30, we have experienced many ups and downs and transitions in life. At this stage, we may have struggled to earn money, or we may have given everything to find true love. No matter what we went through, we were doing our best to make the best choices at the moment. This is the process of growing up, and it is also the only way to go through life. However, fireworks in the world have their own regrets. On the road of growth, we may encounter many unsatisfactory things, or we may experience many failures and setbacks. However, as long as we can live well at every stage of ourselves and cherish every moment, we have already gone through this long decade. Therefore, I want to say to you: don't envy the trajectory of other people's lives, and don't despise your own growth process. Everyone has their own path to follow and their own story to write. As long as we bravely face the challenges and difficulties of life and firmly follow our own life path, we will be able to create a wonderful life of our own.
