At that time, I always longed to grow up and longed for an adult life. At that time, I always thought that the life of an adult was a happy and unfettered freedom, with no restraints, no beatings or scoldings, but only the courage and determination to work hard for your dreams, and the joy and happiness of perseverance. I long for freedom, and I long for one day to be able to escape everything in front of me. What a happy thing it would be.
But at that time, I didn't know. When I grow up, will I really be able to be happy after leaving? Will it really be better than here? The answer is of course no. There are some things that you cannot escape no matter what. It is the pain that is engraved in your bones. The more you want to escape, the more it will drive you crazy when you hear, see, and think about it. As long as you are alive, you still have memories, and you still have feelings, you can never escape.
As Marcel Proust said "The only true paradise is the paradise that has been lost, the only attractive world is the world that has not yet been entered."
