I stood under the neon lights of the city, looking at the bustling crowd in front of me, and an inexplicable irritability welled up in my heart. In my thirties, without a husband or boyfriend, I felt like a forgotten corner of the world. I began to wonder, how long can I carry such a single life?
"Are you really going to stay single like this?" Friend Xiao Yun asked casually at a party.
I smiled and tried to answer in a relaxed tone, "Maybe, who knows." "But deep down, I couldn't hide the uneasiness and anxiety.
The days of being single are not easy. When night falls, loneliness comes like a tidal wave, and I can't breathe.
I began to reminisce about the past, those past love experiences, those sweet and bitter moments. But every time I remember, it's like pouring salt on the wound, which makes me even more painful.
One day, while walking in the park, I met a strange old man. He sat on a bench with a yellowed photo album in his hand and a happy smile on his face.
I couldn't resist walking up and talking to him.
"Are these pictures of you and your wife?" I asked, pointing to the photos in the album.
The old man nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, we have gone through ups and downs together for fifty years. Although we have been separated forever, I feel extremely happy when I see these photos. ”
I asked curiously, "Do you have any tips for staying in a relationship for so long?" ”
The old man pondered for a moment, and then said slowly, "Actually, there is no secret. The reason why we have come this far is because we have always cherished and respected each other.
Love is not a game, but requires the joint efforts and dedication of both parties. ”
The old man's words made me fall into deep thought. I began to reflect on my single life, is it also because I am too demanding of perfection and miss out on those who are truly worth cherishing?
In the days that followed, I started trying to change my lifestyle. I joined social groups and participated in various activities to try to become more cheerful and confident.
I began to pay attention to the people and things around me, and listened to their voices and stories.
Gradually, I found myself getting happier and happier. Although my single life is still a bit lonely, I have learned how to live with loneliness and find my own joy and meaning in it.
One night, I met a boy at a party. He was sunny, humorous, and kind, which made me feel the excitement of my heart that I had not seen for a long time.
We started chatting, meeting each other, and sharing our lives with each other. I found myself becoming more and more dependent on him, and he developed a deep crush on me.
Finally, one night, he took my hand, looked at me affectionately, and said, "Would you like to walk with me through the future?" ”
I smiled and nodded, my heart full of happiness and anticipation. I know I've found my own happiness and home.
Although the melody of singleness is a bit lonely and bitter, as long as we keep an open mind and positive actions, we can find our own happiness and home. I believe that in the future, I will cherish this relationship even more and create more good memories with it.
