Loneliness of one person

 　　night fell silently, and as usual, I scrolled through my phone, watching short videos and silently reading articles on some app.

　　Time flies by, yet it also drags on. Being alone in a corner has become a habit. As I grow older, my friends are all striving for their lives in different places, working hard for their futures.

　　For me, loneliness seems to have become the norm. I do the same things every day, with no one to talk to, and I can only express my thoughts and feelings through writing.

　　Today is a cloudy day. Having not contacted my mother for a long time, and missing her, I couldn't help but call her while wandering around this afternoon. I was surprised to learn that she was at my grandmother's house with her, but I was also happy to hear that my grandmother is doing well.

　　Health issues have prevented me from working right now. The thought of relying on my parents and partner for food, clothing, and medicine fills me with sadness. Which is more important, health or money? Having experienced so much, I feel health is paramount. A healthy body allows for better work and a better future. Without good health, you'll naturally have fewer people to interact with. For those who are frail and sickly, loneliness is a constant companion, day and night.

　　Whether loneliness is good or bad is a profound question. On the one hand, being alone can prevent many unnecessary conflicts; on the other hand, prolonged loneliness can sometimes lead to a longing for companionship. It's said that humans are social animals, and most people don't enjoy being alone. So, what about you? Do you enjoy being alone?

　　When I was single, loneliness and nights alone felt like a habit, a normal state of being, with only books and my phone for company. Now that I have someone I care about, loneliness only occurs occasionally. After all, who wouldn't want someone who cares about them? Whether that person is a friend or a lover.

　　When you're alone, what's the first thing you want to do? For someone like me who enjoys writing, it's naturally to write and pour out my heart, to drive away the sorrow deep within. The only way to relieve sorrow is to find it within oneself. As for those who love playing games, they'd probably choose to play games; those who love taking photos would probably take pictures with their phones or cameras; and those who love traveling would probably choose to travel!

　　Do you like being alone? Are you willing to accept being alone?

　　(The End)

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...

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...

I haven't forgotten Quanzhou Third Lane

 　　I've lived in Quanzhou for half my life, and in Dongjie for so many years, I've never walked through Sanxiang Lane, even though it's right next door. Sometimes I would pass by without paying much attention; it's just a typical southern alley, 200-300 meters long 　　and 2 meters wide. Someone who's lived in this city for over 20 years without much worldly success moved in to save on rent. I was fortunate enough to record a small segment of this alley's long history. At the intersection of Sanxiang Lane and Wenling Road, there's a newly built residential area—though it's been 15 years since then. The ground floor is like any other building, with shops on the ground floor. Across the street are some older houses, urban villages. The buildings along the roadside are also shops: senior citizens' associations, small factories, cigarette shops, hair salons, breakfast stalls, and fried dough twists—they were delicious, coated in sugar, and I often bought t...
