How long does it take to get out of the shadow of childhood.
Today I saw a person wearing a big red pleated skirt, which evoked childhood memories.
It was a third-grade sports day, the drum band required uniform dress, and there was a group dance, and I was both a small drum team and a dance team, and I needed the same set of clothes. White short-sleeved shirt red strappy skirt, at that time a set was more than a dozen dollars, but the conditions at home are not good, my parents do not want to pay me money. My mother did not know where to find a large roll of red ribbon one inch wide, so she sewed a short skirt for me by hand with the ribbon little by little. But my mother can't do a harness, when I was practicing in this dress, I was criticized by the teacher, a team, only I wore differently, which affected the overall effect. Later, the teacher helped me borrow a set of clothes to participate in the activity.
When I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, the pants I wore had a large patch, and at the two knees, two rectangular patches were symmetrically sewn, although it was the rest of the cloth when I first made these pants, but the color difference was very large. Until my third year of high school, I could only wear a dozen yuan a pair of cloth cotton shoes in the winter, which was called Beijing cotton at that time. Every year by the beginning of spring, the hemmings of the shoes have been worn. In college, I was ridiculed to the face by a classmate in a dormitory because my socks were too torn.
I don't know if it's because I loved beauty or because I was too worn when I was a kid. I've always had an incomparable passion for buying clothes, and it's always hard to restrain my desire to see beautiful clothes. It wasn't until recently that I felt like I wanted to open up, looked down on, and was in my forties that I realized that I was much more important than clothes.
Whether a person is beautiful or not is not what clothes they wear. Whether life is happy or not has nothing to do with whether you dress well or not, happiness is still determined by your own heart. This simple truth may have been understood by others for a long time, but I need more than twenty years to see through it than others.
