The spring sun shines through the curtains in the warm house, and such a day always makes people feel emotional. I am Zhou Ming, an ordinary person who is about to enter the sixth decade of his life. Living in this ever-changing world, I have experienced many stories, and today I want to share with you a story about love, choice, and self-growth.
Thirty years ago, I met a woman who caught my heart, and our encounter was like a spring breeze, and it was fascinating. She, named Qiushui, was the soul mate I met at the beginning of my work. Our feelings are like flowers in early spring, blooming and pure. But the good was always short-lived, and our love came to an end with strong opposition from my family. My family, out of consideration for the future of the family, could not accept Qiushui's family background, which made our love encounter a realistic hindrance.
Subsequently, life pushed me towards a second marriage, and this time, I chose a woman who seemed to be a good match for me. However, life after marriage was not as good as I imagined. Although my partner is in good condition, she is very different from Qiushui. Her personality made our lives full of stumbles, and I began to miss the days with Qiushui, who were able to support each other and face the difficulties together, despite the difficult conditions we were able to use at the time.
As the years passed, as my daughter grew up, I decided to end this unhappy marriage and start looking for a life of my own. I began to live alone, enjoying a lonely but free life. Until one day, I learned that Qiushui had returned to his hometown. The excitement in my heart made me decide to reunite with her.
After the reunion, we felt like we had gone back to the past, and Qiushui rekindled my life with her care and enthusiasm. We started seeing each other more often and spending quality time together. However, as time went on, I found that Qiushui's care for me seemed more like a material gift. It left me confused and lost, and I started thinking, is this really the life I want?
After a period of deep consideration, I realized that true happiness does not come from the material and care given by others, but from inner peace and self-realization. I decided to leave Qiushui and go alone to find my happiness. Since then, I have started to focus more on my interests and hobbies, looking for meaning and joy in life.
This experience has taught me that every love and every choice is an opportunity to grow. On the road of life, we may encounter setbacks and confusion, but as long as we face it bravely and insist on ourselves, we will definitely find our own happiness.
Dear readers, have you ever experienced a similar story, and how did you find your own answer on the road to happiness?
