Reminiscing about childhood and finding tranquility

Every age group has its own beauty and troubles. Now, once again, we are standing at the crossroads of life. Looking back at the past, we have felt hesitation and regret, and of course we have expectations.

When we were young, we longed to grow up, but when we grow up, we miss our childhood time very much. Human beings seem to be born with contradictions. The troubles we had when we were young make us want to grow up and get rid of those things that trouble us. But at that time, we did not know that there would be troubles at every stage of life, and they would always happen. As we grow older, we inevitably need to take on more responsibilities and face more pressure.

Maybe it’s because memories can beautify everything in the past. Recalling the troubles of childhood, I feel so cute now.

A few days ago, I saw a senior’s work that had over 10 million views on a short video platform. This work that has achieved great results is actually related to the twist car that we loved to play with when we were young. Perhaps, in the face of an increasingly noisy era, we always hope that something can protect our inner peace.

There is always something in this world that allows us to retain some hope for beauty in such a troubled world.

I think the reason why seniors’ twisting car videos are so popular is because we all miss our childish and innocent selves so much. When we were children, most of our expectations for the future were vague, large-scale, and grand... At that time, our cognitive boundaries were narrow and we believed in fairy tales and myths. It was easy for us to have goals or goals because of the heroic image in a certain story. Change goals. When we were children, we may have wanted to be a great scientist, an astronaut, or even Ultraman who believed in light.

But as we grow older and receive more comprehensive education, we gradually become more realistic, and our goals become more concrete and feasible in time, while keeping the beautiful fantasies about the future in our hearts.

When we were young, we were carefree. The few worries we had were probably being scolded by our parents for poor performance and not being happy enough with our friends.

"When I was young, I didn't know the moon, and I called it a white jade plate." This is the innocence and romance of the young Li Bai; "A child with a disheveled head is learning fishing, sitting sideways on the strawberry grass. Passers-by ask questions and wave from afar, fearing that the fish will be frightened and no one will respond." Children's serious attitude in learning fishing; "Children come back early from school and are busy flying kites in the east wind." This is children's love for spring... The ancients have countless descriptions of children's life moods. I think these are the ancients' reflections on their childhood. Memories.

When we were young, we would have endless fun chasing and playing with our brothers and sisters, but now we sometimes feel at a loss when faced with so many forms of entertainment.

Memories are always beautiful, but reality always contains a bit of cruelty.

May we stop, look back, find tranquility and retain innocence in the joy of childhood.
