Epilogue: There is a kind of healing called the distance

     Places we can't reach are called distant lands, worlds we can't return to are called the past, and what I've always longed for is a place even further away. Many things are beyond our control, but even in the face of loneliness and solitude, we must continue, without stopping or turning back.

    No matter how difficult the road ahead, Momo never considered giving up. She wasn't afraid of failure, but her only fear was being misunderstood. Now, however, she didn't care about anything else; she just wanted to leave. She didn't know why, but she deeply hated the place she lived under. She didn't want to stay there a single day longer; every day was torture. So she would persevere, her goal being the college entrance exam a year from now. Regardless of the outcome, she was going to leave…

    Momo, in her second year of high school, always felt time was passing so slowly. She dreamed of quickly reaching her final year, then the college entrance exam, then graduation, then farewell… But she felt afraid, both anticipating and fearing the future. Whenever she felt lost about the future, she would think of leaving this place soon, and that would calm her down…

    "Time slips away quietly, little by little, and we can never go back to our childhood," this was Momo's favorite song, "Youth on the Desk." Yes, how many people gave their youth to school, leaving their growth on their desks? Time cannot be reversed, and our life's path cannot be turned back. Momo thought: Let my heart journey towards the distance; there will always be beautiful things waiting for me…

There's a kind of meeting that feels like a long-awaited encounter.

     When     I first arrived in this city, the weather was a hazy, grayish white. It was already the height of summer, and there was a humid, stifling heat.     At the subway exit, I saw Mo Xiaobei struggling to find me in the crowd. She took my suitcase, then pretended to be incredibly strong, smiling happily at me and revealing her cute little tiger teeth. I followed Mo Xiaobei through several subway stops until we finally arrived at her rented room. The moment I opened the door, it felt like I had entered a disaster zone. Just as I had imagined, her room was a mess. Several pairs of shoes were scattered haphazardly on the floor, and bottles and jars were strewn about on the table, along with leftover food that had been moldy for days. I turned to look at Mo Xiaobei, who scratched her head sheepishly. "I haven't cleaned the house these past few days. Since you're here, could you help me tidy up?" I knew she was always like this, so I shook my head h...

Five-degree slanted characters (Part 2)

  　　Chi Zhoumu played three games of League of Legends in a row. Whenever he encountered a problem he couldn't figure out, he had to shift his focus to prevent himself from being trapped by his chaotic thoughts. After the three games, Chi Zhoumu stared at the computer for a long time, lost in thought. "No, I have to go out for a walk and relax," Chi Zhoumu thought to himself. 　　 　　When Chi Zhoumu went out, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The streetlights emitted a quiet, dim yellow light, and only a few people were running on the playground. The moonlight was faint, casting overlapping shadows, and the road was deserted. He went to the pavilion, sat down on a bench, and lazily admired the reflection of the library lights on the lake. Two or three couples were scattered on the small island in the lake. "It's hard to find such peace and harmony in the bustling city," he thought. 　　 　　After sitting for about twenty minutes, just as he was ...

How should parents guide their children to correctly understand themselves when faced with their own imperfections?

 　　No one is perfect, and we must accept our own shortcomings. So, how should parents guide their children to correctly understand themselves when faced with their own imperfections? 　　01. Help children accept themselves. 　　Every leaf in the world is different, and so are people. To help children accept themselves, parents must first help them accept their appearance. Even if they don't have big eyes or a high nose, they can compensate with other strengths. Everyone has their own unique beauty; appearance is just a superficial thing, and it will age with time, while the soul remains constant. Therefore, teach children not to be too concerned about their appearance, but to focus on learning and enriching their inner world. 　　02. Don't compare them to other children; let them surpass themselves. 　　It's said that without comparison, there is no harm. This applies not only to adults but also to children. Some parents always compare their children to others, which can lead child...
