The Sweet Feeling of Pursuing Happiness in the Morning Sun |
|
|
I constantly search for the shadow of happiness, because I know how much I need
it. But things didn't go as planned. Since entering the third year of middle
school, I have felt tremendous pressure, always living a humble life in the
corner of the world without any sense of happiness. The heavy schoolbag pressed
me down, making it difficult for me to breathe.
I chanted tirelessly, "To cross the Yellow River's icy waters, to climb the
Taihang Mountains covered in snow." I did not expect my spirit to be so low. At
this moment, I only wanted to leave here gracefully and pursue a life that could
make me feel happy. Perhaps what others see as "indulgence" is happiness for me.
So, I sent a text message to the homeroom teacher telling her of my decision to
leave, and that there was no need to persuade me to stay. I knew she wouldn't
support me, but I just wanted to hear what she had to say. When I received her
reply, I burst into tears. It was only a few words, "Kangping, the teacher has
always believed that you are sensible and will not disappoint anyone, including
yourself!" But that was exactly what I needed. At that moment, I realized how
foolish my thoughts were and that I had no reason to give up. Her words were
short but powerful, and they made me feel happy because I was encouraged.
It seems that the happiness I pursue is just a thrilling phrase that I can hear
when I am particularly helpless. That sentence will be my only spiritual
support.
Once, I shouted out "I am very happy" because I could stand on the podium and
receive an award. But compared to now, what did that bit of happiness mean? It
was only my misunderstanding of happiness. And now, wiping the tears that flowed
out of my eyes while reading the text message, I am the happiest.
The feeling of rebirth after experiencing difficulties made my heart surge, and
the short words gave me double the confidence. That will indeed make me happy
forever. |
