What do you have around age 20?

 　　Around 20 years old, an awkward age!

　　An age where you have nothing yet are self-righteous. While we live off our parents, drink their water, and spend their hard-earned money, we're still throwing lavish banquets and entertaining friends for our so-called "face," spending exorbitant amounts on birthday gifts for our buddies, and racking our brains to please our boyfriends (girlfriends), emptying our wallets in the process. Think about it, twenty years have passed, and have we earned any money ourselves?

　　Around 20 years old, what do you have?

　　Youth? It will eventually become a memory.

　　Knowledge? Too shallow.

　　Beauty? It brings more hypocritical feelings and benefits.

　　Time? People who think like this are mostly wasting their time.

　　Love? That's a lifelong commitment; is what we have now real? Besides what our parents gave us, what else is there for us to be proud of?

　　To boast about? In front of others, we are nothing; that's the reality. Don't think you're so great; in society, you're not even a blade of grass.

　　Arrogance? Is it worth a job? Can it provide you with good food, good drink, and a good place to live? Don't think that serving dishes, washing dishes, working in a supermarket, or cleaning are inherently unsuitable for you. Don't think you're born to save the world. Life is lived, not imagined.

　　Around 20 years old, it's time to be realistic, put down your arrogance, and clip the wings of your fantasies to live a more fulfilling life!

　　Around 20 years old, an age full of ideals but also overly prone to fantasy. Success comes from more effort, dedication, perseverance, pain, and hardship than others, not from mere imagination. Even if a windfall were to fall from the sky

　　, it wouldn't fall on someone who only daydreams. Around 20 years old, an age of inexperience yet self-proclaimed enlightenment. We often criticize the filth, ugliness, and corruption of society, thinking ourselves pure, and shallowly uttering words of helplessness about living in such a world. Love life; don't just say this from the ivory tower of university, but also after experiencing the impurities of society

　　. Around 20 years old, what you see in university doesn't even compare to a glimpse of society. To truly understand life, you'll only truly understand it when you close your eyes for the last time. Live well, and

　　you'll one day see through the illusions of the world. Around 20 years old, a beautiful yet fleeting age. This is the season when your energy is at its peak and your heart is at its most beautiful. Don't waste it on tear-jerking romantic dramas; you'll never be the heroine. Don't dream of falling in love at first sight with your Prince Charming; the chances are smaller than the earth ending tomorrow. Take time to pack your bags and travel.

　　Everything you see around 20 will be completely different from what you'll see on company-planned trips later. See the world outside; don't just put it in your photo album, keep it in your heart. Take your eyes off the computer more often; the outside world is more exciting, and seeing it with your own eyes is completely different from browsing online. A "homebody" lifestyle makes you lose your sense of purpose. Take advantage of this time to go out and see the world, so you'll have memories to cherish when you're old and can't travel anymore.

　　Around 20 years old, a simple yet complex age. Don't dwell too much on the past. Remember, true forgetting doesn't require effort. No matter how unforgettable a feeling may be, if it's no longer yours, don't try to force it back. Forced relationships are never sweet—that's a truth.

　　Around 20 years old, you may not live a spectacular life, but you must live with self-respect. Dignity isn't worth sacrificing for simple emotions!

　　Around 20 years old, you should find something besides love that allows you to stand firmly on this earth!

　　Around 20 years old, an age of growing up but not yet mature. At this time, apart from your parents, no one considers you still a child, and no one will condone your mistakes. Learn to take responsibility for everything; you'll find it's much better than constantly running away!

　　Around 20 years old, you need to grow wholeheartedly!

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 ...

Looking up at the starry sky

     The night is deep, and I can't fall asleep alone. I open the window and see the twinkling stars, but are you the brightest one?     I remember the first time I saw you was in my final year of junior high. I stood nervously behind you, watching my classmates register one by one, and my name was left unassigned. Yes. I was timid and cowardly, and because I didn't have the money for tuition, I didn't dare to speak to you. I just stood there, standing there.     Later, you noticed me, smiled slightly, and asked, "Have you registered?" I shook my head. You asked again, "Are you having trouble?" I nodded. "Come with me!" When I took out my blankets from a corner of the school, I saw tears in your eyes; and I couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears. You took the blankets, took my hand, and walked towards the dormitory building.     I've always thought of myself as a stubborn child, someone no one could melt the thick ice in my hea...
