What if I have the chance to live another life, will I give up the life that I live right now. The answer may be yes before I start reading the story. Recently, I consider my life boring. I live a similar life day by day. Back to high school life, life was even more similar, like studying all day and rushing to bed after school. Life was boring, but there was a goal. The goal was to have good grades and get permitted to the college. The imagination of future life and the faith of being strong enough to support the colorless days. However, after entering college. There is no explicit and distinct goal anymore. My recent life is all about studying and waiting for the days passed. I feel anxious when my life is dull and It seems like I am living just for living, not for my life. By chance, I noticed this book. Some ideals came to my mind while reading the story. I want to experience the decision as Nora does in the story. I want to experience the parrel life with different decisions from now. Actually, I will imagine what my life would be if I study abroad because I didn’t hesitate the chance in my senior. Will I be a language major as now? Will I meet people that have similar thoughts with me? Will I have a different career plan? I used to feel regret about the miss and wanted to fix the mistake. However, after reading the story, I still feel pity, but I will choose the decision as I have chosen. Life is kind of boring though, but it is so-called life. I can’t expect that life would be filled with fun and joy; however, if I have a different attitude toward life, my days are the same, but my mind would be more colorful even the change is slight.
While reading to the end of the story, I learned it is important not to live in regrets. If keeping thinking that I will be much better if I have chosen another decision, life will be harsh afterward. There are always difficulties and obstacles in every single life. Therefore, there is no perfect life even undoing or correcting all mistakes that we have made. To sum up, instead of living in regrets, it is more effective to sincerely live our following days and make them meaningful.
I have the same feeling about what you said! After entering college, I don't have the motivation anymore. I like what you said, " if I have a different attitude toward life, my days are the same, but my mind would be more colorful even the change is slight." Life would be different once we had a different perspective. Moreover, I think it is important to find a goal to motivate ourselves and fulfill it!
ReplyDeleteFor me, I think that I have very colorful life after entering the college. I have club, new part-time job, a dance team. I experience many new things every day. The same life every day I would say it's my high school life. I study every day and go home for sleep, the next day keep studying. And I can feel a big contrast from my life now and before. I can't bear with the same life day by day. So I cherish my busy but colorful life now.
ReplyDeleteThe midnight library sounds so fancy... I would love to die in that kind of place (dead serious). College is not that easy for all of us, I think. You know, the imagination we dreamed about were all too unrealistic and fragile, and we were too young too simple :) But don't be so cynical, my darling, maybe you will find a boyfriend or something that can ease your anxiety lol I look forward to seeing your date!
