Superstar

Saying goodbye to a few hearty uncles, Hugo took another step along the street. Not far away is an elementary school. The spacious basketball court and the high flagpole make it stand out in the surrounding patterned buildings. , This is also the first distinctive building Hugo has seen so far.

Standing at the door of the school, you can see the children in the classroom. A little boy near the window is running on a run. He caught the sight of Hugo and showed a shy smile, but he waved his hand boldly. This made Hugo laugh dumbly, and he also raised his right hand and waved. But before the little boy responded, he found the teacher's figure walking by. The little boy immediately lowered his head obediently, with a focused look. This playful episode reminded Hugo of his childhood reading time, and he couldn't help but smile and face the prison escape. wife.

At this time, a young woman leaning on a baby stroller came across the street. She was wearing a sun hat with a laid-back look. She gave Hugo a friendly smile, "Good afternoon." Hugo also A friendly smile was returned, and the head nodded, and then the two passed by.

It can be felt that the whole town is permeated with a peaceful and cozy atmosphere. It seems that time has slowed down here. The prosperity and noise of the world are completely isolated from the peaceful Atlantic Ocean, forming a...a real The paradise.

Slowly stomping on the road, Hugo started to think, what is it like to live in such a small town?

I was born on this small island since I was a child. There is no prosperous city, but it is not poor and backward. Life is never short of food and clothing, but I have never experienced the luxury and prosperity of the upper class. The friends around me are like this. , There is no obvious gap between the rich and the poor so that there is not much comparability between each other, and the similar family environment and living environment make everyone filled with a steady stream of common topics.

Parents are of course under pressure from mortgages, but this is not the bustling and noisy New York, nor the resort of Boracay, nor is it the Hamptons of rich people, so even if there is pressure, life will not lose its rhythm. The trivial quarrels and contradictions between father and mother are still annoying, but they are not irreconcilable contradictions, as if a solution can be found for everything, and life is moving forward in the small stumbling blocks.

Because the town is too small, so within a few blocks are my neighbors. Even though every face in the town is so familiar, the faces around me always have some smiles indifferently. As I grow up, Everything can be mastered by oneself, without any strangeness, without any excitement, without any challenge. It seems that there is an illusion that the whole world is in the palm of one's own hands, and you can control the whole world with just a light grip.

From family affection to friendship to the human affection in life, everything is so stable. The vigorous stories on TV and movies seem to be full of blood and chaos, or they are like the letters in the novel without any vitality, or It's like an interesting conversation in another parallel space. It only serves as an adjustment and conversation resource in life, but it will never happen in one's own life.

Since the people in the whole town are so familiar, maybe in the tenth grade you will meet someone you like, childhood sweethearts or love at first sight, and then invite each other to attend with yourself at the prom of the twelfth grade, the golden girl The story has become a template for everyone in the school to envy. After graduation, you may find a job. You may only be a blue-collar worker, or you may become a white-collar worker such as an accountant or an editor. The other half stayed comfortably by his side.

One day, a new life will come into one's own life and open a chapter in one's own new life. Add new troubles, and at the same time add new happiness, everything is brand new, calm, step by step, but happy.

Living like this... is really perfect.

Someone once joked that the farthest distance in the world is the highway entrance of a small town, and the most delicious food in the world is breakfast for a day. In fact, this is a derogatory sentence, because anyone who has really seen how big the world is will know. There are countless different landscapes, disasters, famines, wars, freedoms, parties and revelry... The world is not just the highway entrance of the town, it is not just the breakfast every day.

In short, the frog at the bottom of the well.

But this joke when placed in the small town of Seaside, or in a paradise, has become a compliment. Because contentment is always happy, it is precisely because you don’t know how big the world is, that you will not be greedy or greedy. Many times, it is precisely the endless desires that ruin life. see.

The same reason can be said that in childhood, all happiness comes so easily: you can watch cartoons for an hour after hard study, eat a lollipop after eating vegetables you hate, and after lunch break. Chase frantically in the sand with your friends. After winning a game, you can cheer and celebrate. After you get a pair of new shoes, you can look at your uppers over and over again...

Once upon a time, a piece of clothing, a pair of shoes, a bag of potato chips, a glass of Coke, and a drumstick can bring countless happiness; but at a certain moment, after having a stable job, I dreamed of a bachelor apartment; got it After a whole set of houses, I thought about a villa; after I bought my first van, I started to think about the possibility of a sports car...Read the full text of the full text. Hope is an abyss that can never be filled. It drives people to advance, advance, and advance, and happiness and happiness become harder and harder.

Living in Seaside is like this. It not only guarantees basic food and clothing, but also has no problems with basic living security. What's more, there is a happy family. It seems that everything has been satisfied. Compared with the above, there is more than the below, and even more accurately, this is a life above the average standard.

This seems to be a dream life.

Except for one percent of the richest people in the world, most people have been pursuing this life for the sake of stability, calmness, and composure. As long as I think that I can have this kind of life, I feel that the pace is brisk.

But why is Truman still dissatisfied?

To be sure, it is not because of the house, not because of the clothes, not because of the luxury car... to be more precise, not because of the material. Because since childhood, these things have never appeared in Truman's world. He knows how to enjoy life, but he will not lose his rhythm in pursuit of material things.

Is it because of love or family affection?

Truman’s father was killed when he was sailing when he was a child. This made him fear the sea, and he didn’t even feel close to the water. But growing up in a single-parent family did not bring any shortcomings to Truman. The love of his mother. It is enough to make up for the pain of losing his father, and his father's tall and brave image has become his inner hero.

It’s not love either, because he has a wife who loves him. Meryl is the kind of perfect lover everyone dreams of. She is gentle, considerate, considerate, kind and polite. There is an incredible burst between her and Truman. Sparks made Truman fall in love at first sight and truly felt the happiness and beauty of falling in love. After marriage, life is even more peaceful and full of romance, which makes people unable to ask for more.

Truman was not dissatisfied. On the contrary, he couldn't be more satisfied with his life. He felt that he was the luckiest man in the world. Even if he only lived in the small town of Seaside, he felt that he had the world. He has always been a contented and happy man, so he has no complaints about life, and faces every sunrise with a smile. The positive and optimistic spirit infects everyone around him, as if it is a positive energy factor. Changing everyone around me quietly.

But... in the dead of night, Truman always felt that there was a negative emotion bothering him, and even he himself couldn't tell the reason.

So, Truman wanted to go for a walk, he wanted to go to Fiji-because his first love Silvia had left Seaside, Silvia's father told Truman that they were going to Fiji. Since then, Fiji has had an inexplicable attraction to Trumen-he didn't tell anyone it was because of this ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but secretly hid it in my heart, because Truman knew he could not go, because Fiji is an island, an island surrounded by the sea, and he has a phobia of the sea, so this is destined to be just an idea.

But Truman didn't expect that Meryl was unwilling, or even opposed, which made Truman feel a little strange. At first, Truman just wanted to go out, but then more and more strange things happened in life. Everything he was familiar with was breaking the pattern. He noticed that everyone around him seemed to be watching him. He noticed every Everyone around him seemed to surround him one day, and he noticed that there seemed to be someone watching him in a dark corner...

Gradually, Truman wanted to leave this living environment more and more to see a completely different world, to see the world outside of Seaside, so Fiji became a dream in Truman's heart. , A dream that is out of reach but always wants to chase.

Then, there was an accident, and his father who had been "deceased" appeared again, which broke all the balance in Truman's life. This made Truman truly realize for the first time that his inner dream did not arise because of his dissatisfaction, but because of his own rules and frameworks that had bound him. He longed to be able to get out of the shackles, and he longed to embrace freedom even more.

Freedom, simple but difficult dream, a great dream.
