Practicing Being a Person: When I Started to Love Myself

About This Novel
Being alone is a choice, but also an ability. Loneliness is originally the normal state of love and life. Whether you are single or not, you don't need to wait for others to fulfill you. "Practice a Person: When I Started to Love Myself" records the author Tao Lixia's year when she left her familiar life and lived alone alone. I went on a planned trip for two, and then I realized how much beauty I missed by waiting and relying on it. Let go of your glamorous and stable identity, no longer calculate your monthly salary and annual salary; quietly devote yourself to the things you love, but feel more calm than ever. It turns out that loving yourself doesn't have to be fake. Loneliness is not worthy of praise. What should be celebrated is the self that accepts the truth of life. Practice being a person and discover that waiting and relying are in vain. From now on, I will no longer be bored, and I will no longer blame the regrets of life.

Remember a sentence: "Thinking too much will destroy you, and doing nothing is the best revenge. Why bother to prove something to people who don't deserve it? Living a better life is for yourself."
lonely patient
All the brilliance you once had in your life will eventually need to be repaid with loneliness
In the journey of life, we will always meet some people. You will also become strangers to many people. Only then did I realize that giving and returning are not opposites. I am also practicing as a person on the road of gradual growth, watching the flowers bloom and fall.
In this noisy world, being alone is a unique kind of enjoyment. Why should you care about the worldly view? Just be yourself, do what you want to do, don't leave any regrets for yourself, and quietly experience the tranquility of this world. The road is long and difficult.
Always rejecting other people's affection Just for the uncertain you I have decided to leave The days are counting down More and more reluctant
Very suitable for watching alone~~
70% love for others, 30% love for yourself
Reading this book, I thought of a lot of things that happened in the past five years. Now I am alone, but I still think you are by my side no matter what I do or where I go. When I was with you, I thought about what it would be like to be single countless times. I feel like I have everything, with a woman who loves me so much. You took me to see my ex 3, and you burst into tears. It was our first love, and you were more sentimental than me. I couldn't understand the feelings at all. I think we can't break up as long as there is enough love. And now I don't dare to watch this movie anymore, I'm afraid that I'll cry harder than you. You left so decisively. Love your lover 70%, love yourself 30%. These days, I have given you 30% of mine. The more I look for you, the more I will devalue myself. I'm finally alone
Some roads can only be walked alone
When we travel through the busy city, do you feel lonely? In the end, a person's life is just loneliness. When you came, you didn't bring anything with you, and when you left, you couldn't take away a single cloud. There is always a journey that you need to walk on your own...
I don't see what it's trying to express... What to highlight.
practice a person
Today is the 28th day since I fell out of love. During these 28 days, I have done a lot of things, reflected on myself, and learned lessons. I am a boyfriend for the first time, but in the past three years, I really haven't done a good job. Now I have summed up my "three persistences" and work hard to move forward in my own way. Since 28 days ago, I have been trying to practice being alone and adapt to life without her. Read hard, live hard, and become a better version of yourself. Reading is really important. The books you read, the people you meet, and the things you encounter will all be fed back to you at some point in your life. I just clicked on this book casually, but when I read it, it hurt. If I had known it earlier, it might not have ended like this. Reading requires meditation. It doesn't matter what you learn or gain. The process of reading does not need to have a purpose. To me, it's just a way of life. This book is very touching to me, so I like it, even if it hurts me. But the disadvantage is that it is too short. This is probably the thinnest book I have ever read. It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, it's enough to have seen it and lived it carefully.
