Mute - We Are Children of Life#
💡
💡 The biggest regret in this life is being a girl who reads very little and marries early, playing a bad hand of cards. Choosing to work while studying, and choosing marriage while working. Just when I thought I had found someone to rely on, I became a single mother. Regret is overwhelming...

I stumbled upon this video on Bilibili by chance. The title is as written above. After watching it, I felt quite touched. However, I can't think of any comforting words for others. My own limited life experience may not allow me to come up with a suitable paragraph to console these strangers who resonate with me.
Fortunately, I saw a comment left by a user in the comment section:
I also dropped out of school early, but I don't regret it. Because if I had the chance to do it again, I would still choose the same path. And I like my current life. After work, in my spare time, I can fill my mind with knowledge I like, learn what I want to learn, and simply study for the sake of knowledge. Everyone's world is different in size, but even in a small world, you can fit many things you like.
I really like this sentence from the user: "Everyone's world is different in size, but even in a small world, you can fit many things you like."
In this lifetime, we will always make many wrong choices. During certain periods of time, our thinking, knowledge, and abilities are limited to the boundaries we set for ourselves. Although it may not be ideal, these are all real experiences. We call this life.
Just like me, I missed many opportunities to improve myself in high school. I also had the opportunity and ability to enter a better school, choose a better major, study things I was more interested in, and go to a better city for work. But things don't always go as planned. It seems that by the time we realize it, things have already reached an irreparable point, and everything has become uncontrollable.
But it's not like that.
As long as we want to, we can still control our own lives. We still have the power to determine our own lives. We can regret the foolish decisions we made in the past, attribute them to our youthful ignorance, and of course, we can also indulge in past failures and pain, unable to extricate ourselves. But life shouldn't be like this. Everyone deserves a better life, a better future, as long as you want to change.
Life is still worth looking forward to#
Hey, it's still my own experience. Failing the college entrance examination, going to an average university, choosing a major I strongly disliked, having poor academic performance, and lacking abilities. These are all reflections of myself.
When I first entered university, with a "strong aversion and resentment" towards the school and major, I successfully failed a course and my academic performance was always at the bottom. But in my sophomore year, I realized that if I continued like this, I might never have the chance to do the things that had been on my to-do list but I had never had the ability to do. I would never have the chance to make my parents proud of me. So I worked hard to avoid failing courses and tried to improve my grades. Although it was a major I hated, I also tried to let go of my hostility. Even if I didn't understand it well, at least I could understand what I was doing and understand that I wouldn't lie down directly when faced with difficulties in the future.
In the following two and a half years, life went on as usual. At this point in my senior year, although I still didn't like this major, I didn't fail any more courses, and I completed the remaining subjects from previous years this year. Compared to the professional knowledge I learned, I think the most outstanding gains in these four years are the people I met, the way of dealing with the world that I learned, and my attitude towards life.
And even in this situation, I am still very honored to have joined a very good company. Yes, I mentioned this in a previous article. I got a job! If nothing unexpected happens, after I graduate next year, I will go to the south and start my first job in life. This is a new beginning, and I am extremely excited.
Now, I think that university is far more than just a garden for learning textbook knowledge and professional knowledge. Everyone will gain different things in this environment. Even if I was arrogant and naive when I first came to this land and looked down on everything, now, as a senior, I am still very grateful for this black land that has carried my four years of university life. I am grateful for its freedom, its tolerance, and the good or bad memories it has brought me.
So you see, when I finished high school and felt that life was already a failure, I suddenly realized that compared to those classmates who didn't pass the college entrance examination, I still had the opportunity to go to university. Through learning, I have broadened my horizons, learned professional knowledge, and learned how to be a better person. When I was admitted to a major I hated and had poor academic performance, and felt that my life had taken a wrong turn, the dissatisfaction in my heart prevented me from falling into decline. The education I received and my family situation told me that I should work hard. So I gritted my teeth and made progress slowly. Compared to the countless resumes I sent out after graduation and the low spirits I felt when I thought I could only settle for less, I finally received a job offer from a company.
Good things are always on the way#
You see, good things are always on the way. Life is full of ups and downs. Every time you decide to give up when you can't persist, reality will tell you: hold on a little longer, this is not the real you. If you really give up at this time, then you have truly lost. But if you continue to struggle with life and with yourself, there is still a chance.
Perhaps my experience cannot comfort those who are in difficult situations behind the screen, but as I have always followed and believed in a sentence since high school: be a gentle person. Even if these words cannot solve or alleviate your problems, at least I hope that through my sharing, you can gather the courage and imagination for life. Many things should not be obstacles that hinder you from pursuing your own dreams. In the future, I hope that your life will be as colorful and vibrant as the color grading in the video.
As someone who is not good at expressing myself, I have always liked writing as a way to express myself. By preserving my emotions in words, I can maintain the balance of my mind and body. Writing has also made my life more colorful because I often want to make my writing more agile, lively, and beautiful. So I have developed the habit of reading articles and read interesting articles every day. At the same time, I also like English. Listening to music, watching British and American dramas, and playing games are all ways for me to enrich my life. Life is not easy for anyone. You should complete your life in the way you like.
I got carried away and wrote a lot of nonsense and went off topic, but it doesn't matter. I hope everyone can be happy.
