Back more than a year ago, when I decided to move to the seaside, there were actually too many unstable things to consider. As a self-media who has worked in the city for a long time, once I go to the seaside, I will lose a lot. Not only will I have no friends and relatives, but offline work activities in the city will also affect my income.
However, you can't give up what you love just because you don't know what will happen tomorrow today, and finally move half your home to the seaside.
I missed tens of thousands of words in the middle I spent a year in Lion Island in Huizhou and Xichong seaside in Shenzhen, focusing on surfing in Hainan for the second time last winter. I was going to go back to Wanning, Shenzhen for a winter wave. I didn't expect a serious epidemic in Shenzhen to leave me here. Not so much detention. In fact, I find the surfing culture here more attractive to me, not to mention more waves. Moreover, my vertical water sports work has many advantages from the media, especially the background of taking pictures here is diversified. Where there are many waves, sports brands will prefer local surfers. The disadvantage is diet. Buying food is more expensive than Shenzhen, and there are fewer choices to eat, but! It doesn't matter. If you want more, you have to give up some. It is normal to take it and give it up.
The last reason I settled in Hainan is that I met my current boyfriend here. During that time, we surfed together every day and made progress together. This is also a dream that I have always wanted to realize since I came into contact with surfing life. Although most people say that love by the sea is not long, we have only been together for a few months. After living together, most of the things we do every day are surfing the internet, working and eating, and the simple and plain life is quite comfortable.
I have to say that after surfing for a long time, I was impatient with people before, and I lost a lot of thinking about material life. I can go to bed early and get up early every day, bask in the sun, have a full meal, run to the beautiful waves, earn a little money and live happily by the sea.
Some people may have questions. My parents are in Shenzhen, but I live in Hainan. How can I maintain my family relationship? At first, I plan to go back to see them once a month, because I will settle here, provided that I work hard to make money.
And my way of making money is to do self-media, shoot advertisements, and output some contents of surfing life by the sea from time to time according to the original method. Just change the location to the seaside, and the income may be reduced. However, this "sacrifice" is nothing in order to surf and let more people know their favorite surfing culture. Vans, who likes it very much recently, asked me to cooperate! The cooperation content is also related to surfing. I feel that my efforts have been rewarded and I feel very happy!
Many people think that ronin lives by the sea, as if he doesn't have to do anything, surfing in the sun every day and drinking at night. Actually, it's not. The ronin I know are basically excellent, like Karlie Shanshan of Goofdog whom I met in Shenzhen Surfing Club before. It's almost two years! I have a good education, not only good surfing skills, but also serious work. Play when you should, and do your job when you should work hard. After all, in this high-priced Hainan Island, we still have to earn money and live seriously!
Well, having said that, since you have chosen this one you love deeply, you can give up what you have tried to pursue, live in the present and choose what you like and suit yourself, which is a way to love yourself.
