I studied Chinese in college, but after graduation I accidentally became a civil servant. Many people envy me for my stable job and happy family. I used to think the same way. I thought my pursuit was to have a stable job and a happy family. What else could I want in life?
I live a nine-to-five life every day, calmly and step by step. The same work is repeated every year with little innovation. What changes is the appearance. Time cannot withstand wasted time. The 10 years slipped through my fingers, and I slowly turned from a young and energetic girl into an old-fashioned old man in the workplace, counting the spring, summer, autumn and winter aimlessly. .
Through WeChat Moments, I saw another world. Many people could have lived a very comfortable life, but they chose to continue working hard and experience a different life.
A fellow villager, in our county, she and her husband both have decent jobs. In everyone’s opinion, she will and should spend her life happily and quietly like this. But she didn't. She first took the postgraduate examination, and after graduation, she successfully became a bank worker in our city with a considerable annual salary. My family and people around me also understand that it is not too far from home, and my salary has increased five times, so they all express their support. Half a year later, I passed the civil service examination in Beijing and decided to go to the capital to start a new life. Everyone marveled at her decision and choice. Later, her husband resigned, her daughter transferred to another school, and the family started a new life because of her.
The same goes for classmates. Some students who seem to be very stable are all challenging all aspects of life. Sometimes there are those who take the challenge of traveling around the world, sometimes there are those who suddenly learn Kunqu Opera, and sometimes there are those who change jobs in various cities.
I am very lucky to have joined a literary circle and met many hard-working people. I am successful in my work and my spare time life is not inferior. When it comes to calligraphy, the calligraphy is good; when it comes to reciting, every word is sonorous; when it comes to dancing, it dances gracefully; when it comes to songs, it is refreshing to the ears and heart...
My horizons are constantly broadening, and my heart is beginning to move, like The young shoots press against the soil, like melting snow. I finally understood that I didn’t want to live so comfortably, and I longed to explore a different life. Especially when I read "84,000 Possibilities of Life" by Ali at the end of 2017, my mind jumped out completely and I began to pursue the various longings in my heart.
The first thing that bears the brunt is my hobby of writing. My life is not just about comfort. My life should not only include work and family. My life should also include myself and my own hobbies. I like to achieve different kinds of life through writing, and I long for my life to be brilliant.
After a period of hard work, I have become more and more sure of my own ideas, and there are more and more colors in my life.
Started the journey of life, traveling to the ancient capital Xi'an, Qinghai, and the desert Dunhuang; and successively went to Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Yangzhou, and Hangzhou to appreciate the customs of the south of the Yangtze River; I visited Xiangxi during the Spring Festival of 2018 , got close contact with the Miao people.
I got in touch with more cultural circles, learned their attitudes towards life, learned to recite, learned to write, and even expanded into various hobbies, such as hiking, singing, dancing, and painting.
My life became colorful. But I think this is more than that. These are just the beginning. I can hear my heart jumping. The future life will be more exciting...
