What is your definition of a friend?
I love a song called "The Other Me in the World," and I've always thought that's what I have in mind about my friend—a kind of existence that's similar to me, but very different.
I am a very enthusiastic person to meet new people, and I am jokingly called "social cow" by my friends. Of course, I understand the truth of "friends are fine, not many", but if we relax our mentality, we can look at the arrival and departure of friends with a normal heart. You will find that it is really a very happy thing to be able to meet new people continuously.
I don't know if you will have the same feeling as me: the world is so vast, interesting people and things are so wonderful, but as an ordinary person, our energy and time are extremely limited.
Maybe when you were young, you also fantasized that there is a parallel time and space in the world, and in another time and space, you must be living a very different life than you are now, she may be beautiful, intelligent, and have the determination that you envy but do not have.

Such fantasies are naturally unrealistic, but our friends will realize them.
What kind of existence is a friend? He may not be good enough, not brave enough, but he will encourage us to live the way we want to be. Even if most of the time two people are not even together, one thing is certain, everyone is shining in their respective fields.
Xiaojin is my hair is small, we grew up together since childhood, but in fact, we did not spend too much time together, we are always in a state of separation.
But I always remember that summer, we watched almost all the Crayon Card Plates on the market together, brewed coffee for each other every morning, and then poured in the milk, watching the liquid in the container slowly turn into a beautiful amber color.
At that time, we were just two little girls who were still in adolescence, felt that there were infinite possibilities in the future, and loved to daydream.
She said she wanted to be the world's best cartoonist, creating works as sought after as Crayon Novelty; Also become a photographer, travel the world, and put all the good in your own lens. As for me, I said that I should study hard, become a civil servant in the future, and dedicate my own strength to our country and society.
Then we missed each other for seven years, until we recently reunited on the streets like a movie.
By this time we are all grown up, and we are far from the future we envisioned. She was originally full of energy and wanted to wander around, but now she has become a civil servant and lives a stable life; And the one who was nervous to stutter when I was a teenager answering questions in public, but I liked to hang around with the camera on my back, constantly meeting new people, and freezing everything I heard and saw in the lens.
We all seem to run counter to our original intentions, but we have lived the same way that each other once wanted.
Friends seem to be like this, you are two completely independent individuals, but at the same time are two perfectly matched puzzles, only together, can be considered complete.

There is a saying in the "Green Book": There are all kinds of people in this world, and it just so happens that you have become friends, this is not fate, it is because you should be friends.
Our life is our own life, but also the life of others. Because our life is composed of countless people and things in the past, while we are influencing the trajectory of other people's lives, we are also affected by others, and only when we are intertwined, everyone's life is complete.
Just like Owen and Billy in the American drama "Emergency Call", they are sworn enemies, but they are also close friends, and they know each other better than they know themselves. So when someone asked about Billy's state after the crisis in his life, Owen said, "Believe it, because that's exactly what I am." ”
Finally, I would like to say that believing in yourself is shining is like believing that a friend is a star in the sky.
Because, friend, is another self.
