The Journey from Birth to Adulthood
In this vast world, everyone is like a blank sheet of paper when they are born.
As they grow up and experience different environments, their stories become unique.
When young, everyone thinks their life will be great, but as they grow older, they realize they are not so special after all.
Most people lead ordinary lives, not as brilliant as imagined, just very ordinary.
As an ordinary man, everyone’s experiences may seem different, but they are quite similar in general.
Most of us come into the world with a cry, then learn to crawl, walk, grow teeth, and speak with the care of our families.
After a brief period of freedom, we start carrying school bags, become students, and dream about the future.
From a young age to adolescence is a wonderful time, mainly focused on learning.
Then, in our late teens, we experience puppy love, face important choices, and go to college.
College life brings more freedom and opportunities, including the chance for romance and the uncertainty of the future.
After graduation, we face the uncertainty of finding a job and the struggle to establish ourselves.
The first job may not be easy, but eventually, we find stability and some savings, yet we start feeling lost.
We realize life is not easy, and we are unsure of its meaning, while our families urge us to marry and settle down.
After some blind dates, we find someone we can tolerate and decide to get married.
The wedding day seems warm to others, but we feel unprepared for married life and unsure how to run a family.
Married life is not as romantic as expected, but it involves various conflicts and responsibilities.
We focus on work and providing for the family, forgetting our dreams and feeling time slipping away.
As the years pass, we become parents, devote ourselves to our children, and work tirelessly to support the family.
As our children grow, we grow old, and we realize we have forgotten our dreams and feel powerless to change our lives.
In the end, we may feel regretful for not achieving our dreams, but we also find contentment in the simple moments of family life.
Our life may not have great achievements or intense emotions, but we have endured many challenges and lived peacefully for decades, which is quite remarkable.
