How many people have given up their dreams because of their families, how many people have lost their dreams because of their lives, but some people have a more exciting life even when they enter middle age!
Mai Mai is my college classmate. After graduating from college, she went to the famous Academy of Fine Arts for further study alone, and then found a good job in Shenzhen. For those of us who teach in our hometown, this is really envy and jealousy. In this way, after nearly ten years, I suddenly heard the news of her resignation. Surprised and puzzled, we saw photos of her traveling everywhere in her QQ space one after another, and she once again made us envy and hate! In chatting with her, I learned that life in Shenzhen is colorful, but I am very tired and busy at work. Working overtime every day is far from her ideal life. So, after finding like-minded lovers, they quit their jobs together, opened a small shop in Yunnan and lived freely! I think it is the dream of many people to open a small shop in a place facing the sea and spend the rest of their lives, but how many people can realize it? Mai Mai did it!
How brave it is to let her find the life she wants after the age of 30! Mai Mai said that after leaving Shenzhen, she would take two months out to travel with her family and lover every year for two months in a row. She said that while there are no children, she will travel all over the country to see how big the world is! Every time I see all kinds of beautiful scenery in her space, I am envious or envious!
Today, Mai Mai is the mother of a two-year-old child. She settled in Yunnan, which faces the sea and is in full bloom in spring. She is obsessed with making all kinds of bread, just to let her son have an environmentally friendly breakfast. She gets up leisurely every day, and then walks around the spring path. She was busy there when she came back. It was noon in a blink of an eye, and delicious bread was freshly baked. From Mai Mai's circle of friends, we can directly feel her satisfaction with life. She should have reached her dream life! It is precisely because Mai Mai dares to pursue the life she wants that she can get rid of overtime, make a delicious breakfast for her family and grow up happily with her children every day.
Dreams, big and small, some people want to be a famous person, some people want to have a leisurely and stable life, no matter what kind of dreams, as long as they can last, they have nothing to do with age.
Pan Pan, the mother of two children and my college classmate, went their separate ways after graduation, but I was moved by her through my circle of friends! She said, "Do something you like while you are young", so she studied ballet. When she was only a little distance away from forty years old, she felt very beautiful when she wore a ballet skirt. As we all know, ballet needs to be learned from an early age. As a middle-aged woman, it takes a lot of courage and confidence to put on that suit, but Pan Pan did it! She always takes an active and optimistic part in various activities, such as swimming, fitness, and participating in children's school performances as parents' representatives. Such a middle-aged woman drove her dream sailboat and continued to move forward, so she gained a happy and rich life.
My college classmate Xiao Xia is a middle school teacher in a mountain city. She is also a mother with two children. She is also a graduate student who just graduated from Sun Yat-sen University. Her appearance is not outstanding, but she has a clever mind. She never stopped pursuing her dreams. She is pregnant with her second child and still insists on studying in CUHK. When the child has not stopped breastfeeding, she even took the child to CUHK to participate in the thesis defense. Finally, she successfully got the diploma. In this process, we can't imagine how many difficulties she has overcome. Seeing her shaking hands with President CUHK and taking photos of her diploma made my nose sour. What power supports her so that she can work, family and study! I think it is the power of dreams!
Dreams seem far away, but as long as you don't give up, dreams will get closer and closer to you! Especially middle-aged women, don't give up their dreams, don't do nothing, don't say that children take up your time, don't spend all your energy on the mahjong table and find your dreams! Only by pursuing bravely, you will not "suddenly look back, but I have accomplished nothing" when you step into old age. Only by bravely pursuing, will your life have brilliant sparks and a life without regrets.
