The afterglow of exotic fate
My name is Lin Yue, and I was born in a small town full of books. Since I was a child, I have had a strong interest in painting and dreamed of one day being able to depict my own world with my brush. When I was in college, I got my wish and was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts and started chasing my dreams.
However, the trajectory of fate is always full of surprises. At an international art exchange, I met Samir, a boxing champion from Africa. He was tall and mighty, but his eyes revealed an indescribable tenderness. At that moment, I felt as if I saw myself in another world, and we seemed to be pulled into each other's lives by an invisible force.
Samir's gentleness and thoughtfulness made me feel more blessed than I had ever been. He respected my dreams, supported my career, and when we were together, it was as if the whole world was full of color. However, as we deepened our relationship, I gradually found that the cultural differences and differences in perceptions between us began to emerge.
Samir comes from a traditional African family, and his family values and values are very different from mine. He told me that in Africa, it is common for men to have multiple wives as part of their culture and traditions. When I heard this, I felt shocked and uneasy like never before. I began to wonder if our love could really overcome these barriers.
However, just when I was hesitating, I found out I was pregnant. We were all pleasantly surprised and apprehensive by this unexpected news. Samir excitedly hugged me several times and said it was our child, the fruit of our love. At that moment, I felt happiness and anticipation like never before.
However, the happy days did not last long. With the birth of a child, our lives start to become more hectic and complicated. Samir travels frequently between Africa and China for work, and communication between us is becoming less and less. I started to feel lonely and helpless, and I began to wonder if we could really go on together.
After a heated argument, we decided to stay apart for a while and give each other some space and time to think. During that time, I lived alone in a foreign country with my children, and I felt unprecedented loneliness and hardship. I began to reflect on what I had given and gained in this relationship, and I began to think about what I really wanted.
Just when I was lost and confused, I met a kind and warm man - Chen Xuan. He is a painter and his paintings are full of emotions and stories. We met at an art exhibition and I was deeply moved by his paintings. We started to talk and discuss art and life frequently, and I found that we shared many common interests and hobbies.
Chen Xuan's gentleness and thoughtfulness made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He respects my dreams and career, and he is willing to accompany me through every stage of my life. With him by my side, I gradually stepped out of the shadows of the past and regained my self-confidence and courage.
However, just as I was about to start a new life, Samir suddenly appeared in front of me. He told me that he had been missing me and the children and that he wanted to be able to start our lives all over again. I looked at his haggard and tired face, and mixed emotions welled up in my heart.
"Yueyue, I know I've done a lot wrong in the past. But I really love you and the kids, and I hope we can start over. Samir said as he looked at me affectionately.
I was silent for a long time, my heart full of struggle and hesitation. I know I'm still in love with him, but I'm also well aware that the issues between us haven't really been resolved. I told him I needed time to think about it, that I needed to determine what I really wanted.
Samir nodded and left silently. I watched his back fade away, and an inexplicable emotion surged in my heart. I know that no matter what decision I make, someone will get hurt, but I also understand that this is a reality that I have to face.
In the days that followed, I struggled to balance my family and work, and at the same time thought about the direction of the future. I began to pay more attention to my inner needs, and I began to try to understand and accept different cultures and ideas.
In the end, I decided to give myself a chance, and also to Samir. We started our lives anew, we struggled to communicate and communicate, and we tried to understand and accept each other's differences. Although the process is full of challenges and difficulties, we are all willing to work hard for each other.
Now I have learned to be stronger and more independent. I know that no matter what difficulties and challenges lie ahead, I have the courage to face and overcome them. I also understand that true happiness does not come from the evaluation and expectation of the outside world, but from inner satisfaction and peace.
