? There is a very cliché saying - if there are no happy things in the memory, maybe there will be no sadness. Happiness is wine. The joy and indulgence when drinking can make people produce dopamine. However, after a night, they may experience various discomforts, which are in sharp contrast to the refreshing feeling of drinking. They may fall asleep peacefully and continue their boring life after waking up. ?
How can we be happy for a long time?
Slow down and find the paradise in your heart
My entire ambition is to spend my whole life living a free life. In my opinion, this is the ultimate romance.
At this time, you may be running around in the lights of the city, or you may be too busy with the work at hand, or you may be wandering around the stove, or you may be changing cups and cups... At the same time, you are complaining that "this is not the case at all" Not the life I want, but you have to live this way in order to survive. But I believe that as long as you are willing, you will be able to make time to go where you want to go and experience the life you desire.
Working nine to five and wandering around the world can be parallel
I should be an extremely nostalgic person, unwilling to try new tastes, not easily challenge new styles, not eager Establishing a new relationship, only stubbornly falling in love with what I thought I only liked. In the past, I was only interested in the water towns south of the Yangtze River. Jiangnan seems to have an endless nostalgia for my past life for me. The first time I traveled abroad was in the summer when I was 19 years old. What I remember most is the small bridge on the Suzhou Canal, the people on both sides of the bank, the dotted lights of Zhouzhuang in the evening, and the excitement and hustle and bustle of the prosperous ancient town of Xitang. Every step of the way, I felt curious about everything I saw. I just felt that there were too many things I wanted in Jiangnan, and my suitcase was too small to hold anything.
After returning home, I have been thinking about Jiangnan, wanting to go back there, and wanting to go back there again. I thought this was the only thing I had a persistent preference for in my life. Later I found out that it was indeed the one I had a persistent preference for in my life, but it was not the only one. Because one day three years later, we made an impromptu decision to go to Shennongjia. At that time, it rained heavily across the country and many traffic sections were blocked. The train we took was more than five hours later than originally planned, disrupting many of our original plans. During that time on the train, various emotions such as anxiety, impatience, panic, and helplessness kept emerging. Fortunately, after the bumps along the way, I finally came to the mountains and rivers and walked into the peach blossom garden in my heart.
? At that time, the landscape of Shennongjia was so beautiful that I was surprised. I also climbed mountains and saw water when I was a child, but people are always relatively carefree in childhood and cannot compare and experience the confinement of reality and the freedom of the outside world. Therefore, when standing at the foot of Tiansheng Bridge, I feel both surprised and happy. I feel touched and surprised that there is another kind of beauty besides the small bridge and running water that I prefer. I am touched that at this moment, I finally live up to the bumps along the way and come here. There were four people in our team. The tour guide took us to Shennong Creek first. Shennong Creek flows down the mountain, gurgling. I picked up the water in the stream and drank it. I wanted to jump into the stream and stop walking forward. The two middle-aged people traveling with me seemed to have a lot of experience and had seen a lot of the world. Seeing my novelty in this mountain and water, they were like adults watching children playing house - they may not have been able to realize it for a long time. As a bystander, I am still a little envious of the fun that this child can be satisfied with so easily. So they were very accommodating of everything I saw, taking pictures wherever I went, and taking off their shoes to jump in shallow water, which kept delaying the team's progress. Well, after all, compared to them, I am still like a child who is not familiar with the world. It was only a long time later that I realized that, along the way, among the two people traveling together, in the lens of one of them, in addition to the scenery, there was always me.
On the second day, we drove to Shennongding Altar of Shennong and Dajiu Lake. Viewing the natural landscape requires some luck. Many magnificent and extreme pictures are not easy to see if you want to see them. Standing on the top of Shennong early in the morning, looking at the surrounding green mountains, with the blue sky above your head, you can reach out to pick the clouds around you, and you can hear the constant chirping of birds in your ears. Although it is not as romantic as being in the legendary sea of ??rolling clouds, it is still It feels like a fairyland. As for Dajiu Lake, it is a mountain stream basin. According to legend, Dajiu Lake was originally called "Big Jug". It was the place where Emperor Yan Shennong developed medicinal wine. It transforms into nine peaks and nestles around the basin. In fact, Dajiu Lake is just a wetland in a high-altitude area, and it is not as beautiful as the legend says.
Having said that, I am still grateful that everything in front of me is a gift from nature.
After bidding farewell to Shennongjia, our next stop was the Three Gorges, which has the highest bungee jumping platform in the country's canyons and a large waterfall that can be crossed alone. Bungee jumping is an important event in the Three Gorges Happy Valley. The jumping platform is more than 60 meters high. You need to walk up step by step along the mountain road. As you walk to the jumping platform, you keep thinking about what you have done in the past, what good deeds you have done, and what kind of positive things you have done. How many virtues will you pass? Will something happen? Who will be the beneficiary of the insurance if something happens? How will the relatives and friends around you react... As you get closer and closer to the diving platform, you will feel more and more tragic emotions in your heart. . You talk nonchalantly, imagining that you are a warrior brave enough to challenge, but when you actually stand on the platform and look at the canyon below, you still feel scared. You really don’t dare to take that step until the coach gets close to you. Lean your body forward...
Look, many times even if you make a lot of preparations for something, you still need external push when you actually implement it. The moment I jumped off the cliff, I felt some indescribable grievances and resentments. Maybe I wasn't ready yet. Why did you push me down? What if I died at this moment? I really wasn't ready. Prepare to die. During the landing, scenes from the past suddenly flashed through my mind. In those ten seconds, I suddenly understood who I loved most in the past twenty years, what I couldn’t let go of the most, and what I couldn’t let go of... The rope didn’t hold. After rebounding again, a boat comes on the water and passes a long bamboo pole. The bamboo pole pulls you to the small wooden boat, where you lie down on the boat to rest for a while, and then return to the shore. After landing, looking at the deep canyon, I couldn't stop crying. My nose was filled with tears and I almost died from crying. My sister who was traveling with me kept comforting me, but it was useless no matter what I said. , in fact, I don’t know why I cried like this, and I can’t even explain what kind of emotion it is now. I only feel the worry of walking to the platform step by step before bungee jumping, the complicated thoughts in my mind after jumping, and the challenge is successful. Then I slowly calmed down again. All these feelings came so fast and so violently that I couldn't relax. Looking at the green mountains and green water at this moment, it seems that it is different from before, but I can't tell what the difference is.
Crossing the Three Gorges Falls sounds like something worthy of showing off. Both bungee jumping and the waterfall are far away from the city. They are a long way apart and the transportation is very inconvenient. There was a local motorcycle master soliciting customers, and he promised us 20 yuan to take us to the Three Gorges Falls. Although we didn't trust him very much, but we were unfamiliar with the place, so we had to sit on a motorcycle and follow him. The motorcycle drove through small roads in the mountains. There was no one around, not to mention other people. My sister and I were nervous and scared. We were always sharing our stories with friends on WeChat along the way. Location, I was afraid that the motorcycle driver would take us somewhere else. Sure enough, it turned out that we were deceived by him, and he never took us to the foot of the waterfall as promised. Fortunately, he didn't sell us out. Instead, he took us to a travel agency and asked us to ask the travel agency about the next step. The reason why he did this was that even he himself didn't know the specific distance... After some inquiries, we first took the bus, then changed to a bus, and finally arrived at the Three Gorges Falls. "The light of the mountains is pleasing to the birds, and the shadows of the pond are empty of people's hearts" is a perfect way to describe this place. The eyes are full of green, and waterfalls and streams of various shapes come one after another. I suddenly feel that all the travel and effort are worth it. The main waterfall, which is 80 meters wide and 102 meters high, rushes down from the sky. Wherever it passes, flowers and jade are flying, and gauze-like water mist floats over the face. Walking in the middle of it is really an indescribable feeling of pride. After passing through the waterfall, I looked back at the waterfall pool behind me. The foam in the pool was rolling close to the waterfall, and a loud sound like the roar of tigers and dragons echoed in my ears. At that moment, we humans on the side could only lament our own insignificance and quietly fell down. Tears...
After the trip to the Three Gorges, we set off on our return journey, keeping this time in our hearts and caring for this memory. The joy of this journey is like a cup of tea. It is always warm and has its own unique aroma. It cannot change anything, but it will give me strength. It is a force that keeps moving forward and makes me firmly believe that no matter what No matter what situation you are currently facing, you can gain the power of surprise and emotion by moving forward.
Don’t waste an inch of your time,
Don’t listen to boring words,
Don’t try to remedy hopeless mistakes,
Don't waste your life on ignorance, mediocrity, and triviality, which are the pathological goals and false ideals of our time.
Live! Live your amazing life!
Don’t waste any time.
