In a quiet town during the Republic of China, the pace of life is leisurely, as if time has slowed down on this land. It was a sunny morning, and the sun shone through the veil-like clouds on the bluestone-paved streets, reflecting dappled light and shadow. As I walked through this quaint street, I felt an inexplicable sense of tranquility and serenity in my heart.
"Miss, you're here again. A familiar voice broke my mind, it was the proprietress of the teahouse on the corner. She greeted her with a smile on her face, still holding a pot of freshly brewed tea in her hand.
I smiled and nodded, and said softly, "Yes, the tranquility and tea fragrance here always make me forget the distractions of the world." ”
We walked into the teahouse and found a window seat to sit down. The proprietress poured me a cup of hot tea, which was fragrant and refreshing. I took a sip and felt refreshed.
"Miss, you seem to be a little different lately. The proprietress observed me carefully and said with a smile.
I was slightly stunned, then relieved. During this time, I did experience an inner transformation. I put aside heavy makeup and fancy costumes and began to pursue a minimalist lifestyle. This change may be particularly obvious in the eyes of the proprietress .
"yes, I tried a new way of life. I said lightly, "I began to pay attention to inner cultivation and physical and mental balance. No longer pursue external splendor and vanity, but pay more attention to inner tranquility and peace. ”
After hearing this, the proprietress flashed with a glint of appreciation in her eyes. "Mademoiselle is really knowledgeable. In these troubled times, it is not easy to find inner peace. ”
We talked about the benefits of minimalist living. I told her that since I started to pay attention to the light and healthy diet, my skin has become more delicate and radiant, when I have reduced my dependence on material things and pursuits, I have found myself more free and relaxed, and when I spend more time reading and thinking, my heart has become richer and deeper.
"Miss, your face is indeed much better than before. The proprietress looked at my face carefully and said approvingly, "It seems that this minimalist life really has a good maintenance effect on your skin." ”
I smiled and nodded, my heart full of relief. Indeed, since I started trying to live minimalist, my skin condition has improved significantly. Skin that used to look dull due to the overuse of cosmetics is now white and translucent, as if it has been rejuvenated.
"Actually, I first tried to live a minimalist life because I was tired of the feeling of being bound by material things. I said frankly, "I found myself always looking for more material comforts and neglecting the real needs of my heart." It wasn't until one day, when I read a book that mentioned the idea of minimalist living, that I began to reflect on my lifestyle. ”
After hearing this, the proprietress nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, we are always confused by the material things in the outside world and forget the true pursuit of the heart. In fact, true happiness is often hidden in simplicity and purity. ”
We continued to sip tea and chat. The sunlight outside the window gradually softened, and the pedestrians on the street came and went, everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.
"Miss, you've really changed a lot. The proprietress sighed, "You have become more confident and calm." ”
I smiled slightly, my heart filled with gratitude. Yes, minimalist living not only gives my skin a new glow, but also allows me to find inner peace and confidence. I was no longer distracted by the hustle and bustle of the outside world and was more focused on my inner world.
"Actually, I made another discovery. I smiled mysteriously, "Since I started living a minimalist life, I've found that my relationships with others have become more harmonious. ”
The proprietress asked curiously, "Oh, what's going on?"
I explained: "In the past, I always pursued external glamour and vanity, and it was easy to compare and argue with others. But now, I pay more attention to inner cultivation and balance, and I am more tolerant and understanding of others. In this way, our relationship naturally becomes more harmonious. ”
After hearing this, the proprietress nodded her head again and again. "Miss is really smart and clever, and she can discover so many profound truths from life. ”
We looked at each other and smiled, as if we had a deeper communication with each other's hearts.
That day, we talked for a long, long time in the teahouse. The sun is setting in the west, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, but our hearts are still immersed in this pleasant conversation.
Since then, I have strengthened my determination to pursue a minimalist life. I believe that only by truly letting go of those heavy external burdens can we find inner peace and freedom. And this peace and freedom is our most precious treasure in this complex world.
Time flies, time flies. Today, I am accustomed to this minimalist and quiet lifestyle. My skin is still fair and translucent, and my heart is still calm and calm. And all this change originated from that sunny morning, in the teahouse, that in-depth conversation with the proprietress in the teahouse.
Looking back, I am deeply grateful for that time of minimalist life. It allowed me to find my true self and realize the true meaning of life. In the days to come, I will continue to stick to this way of life and keep that peace and tranquility in my heart at all times.
