Today is the last day of June, and suddenly, the first half of 2021 has ended, if you do a review of the past six months, "describe your first half of the year in one word", what would it be?
01
My first half keyword: beauty
In the first half of 2021, after a period of "eating and traveling alone, walking around and stopping", because of this "stolen" leisure time, I remembered the thing that was almost forgotten by me: how beautiful the world is. (@when)
I think the world is wonderful:
When the sun is shining, the trees are full of flowers, and on rainy days, a lake ripples;
Sunlight sweeps through the city and breezes through fingertips.
——Zhang Jiajia, "Passing Through Your World"
02
My first half keyword: love
In the first half of 2021, I met someone I liked and knew what love at first sight meant. （@shellyNG）
Any kind of environment or a person,
When we first met, when we felt the hidden pain of parting,
You must be in love with him.
- Huang Yongyu, "Along the Seine River to Emerald"
03
My first half keyword: Yong
In the first half of 2021, I left Beijing for seven years of living and working and came to Hangzhou, where I didn't have any acquaintances. I was scared, but my footsteps didn't stop. (@Jingjing)
Bravery is:
When you have not even begun to know that you may lose,
But you still have to do it,
And stick to it anyway.
You rarely win, but sometimes you do.
—Harper Lee, "To Kill a Mockingbird"
04
My first half keyword: busy
In the first half of 2021, I started a business with friends, there are more things than I can imagine, and the rest time adds up to less than 15 days, but the feeling of working hard for my dreams is very good. (@Guanglei)
True diligence,
Never blindly busy,
It's about creating all the time.
Everything is accomplished and everywhere is improved.
05
My first half keyword: tired
In the first half of 2021, while working while taking care of the hospitalized grandmother, several times felt that the physical and mental limit was reached, but still did not dare to collapse. (@Selective Pleasure)
The snow that falls on a man's life,
We can't see it all.
We are all in our own lives,
Spend the winter alone.
——Liu Liangcheng
06
My first half keyword: lazy
In the first half of 2021, it seems that nothing has been done, and my heart is anxious, but the more anxious I am, the more I don't want to do anything. (@Hehe still has to work hard)
Laziness is a very strange thing,
It makes you think that
It is comfort, it is rest, it is blessing,
But actually what it gives you
It's boredom, it's burnout, it's depression.
It deprives you of hope for the future,
Sever your friendship with others,
make your heart narrower and narrower,
I am also becoming more and more skeptical about life.
- Romain Rowland, "Busy and Enterprising"
07
My first half keyword: lonely
In the first half of 2021, I met some new people, but I didn't meet a new friend, and I probably really grew up and became lonely. (@Mary)
I think so-called loneliness,
It's the person you're facing.
His emotions and your own emotions,
Not at the same frequency.
—Richard Yates, "Eleven Kinds of Solitude"
08
My first half keyword: off
In the first half of 2021, I graduated, said goodbye to the university campus, said goodbye to the roommate who had been together for four years, and to some extent said goodbye to youth. (@Gao Xuening)
Life seems to travel together,
Come to the fork in the road,
He said he was going to the sea to see whales.
You said you were going to the woods to see the deer,
So they parted ways.
Don't be sad, let it pass,
After all
"Everyone can only walk with you for a while."
——The public account "Wudao"
09
My first half keyword: get
In the first half of 2021, I have been "washing clothes in the dark room", during which all the hardships and sufferings have been relieved at the moment of checking the scores, "my clothes" are so bright and new! (@Asia)
Preparing for exams is like doing laundry in a dark room.
You don't know if you washed it or not,
You can only wash it over and over again.
When I walked up to the exam room, the lights came on,
You will find that as long as you have washed it carefully,
That dress will shine as new.
And after that, every time I wear this dress,
You'll think back to those years.
10
My first half keyword: sleepy
In the first half of 2021, the whole thing is like a big dream, I am confused every day, and I rely on coffee every day to "survive". （@Alex）
For some,
Sleep is the real form of human activity,
When you are awake, you are just collecting dream material.
11
My first half keyword: boiling
In the first half of 2021, I changed to a new job, the pressure is very high, I have been "passively staying up late", and the feeling of looking at the ceiling with my eyes open at three or four in the morning is very scary. Hope to sleep well in the second half of the year. (@Chen Yuan)
Insomnia is one
Night also has a taste of weight, shape and smell,
Like not sleeping on the bed,
It's sleeping in the black air,
Sleeping in a bunch of dizzy,
In the chaotic and fanatical thoughts.
——Mai Jia,"Life Sea Sea"
12
My first half keyword: read
In the first half of 2021, I rested at home for a while due to physical reasons, but I read a lot of books that have been shelved for a long time, which was an unexpected gain. (@Huangkeke)
I think the meaning of reading is that
It keeps you outside of hard reality,
Gain a soft, elastic mental space.
This space,
Can hold objects that cannot be accommodated in real life,
A wisp of a thread, a string and a pillar,
It makes you feel as if you have another life,
Let you live "more" than others.

13
My first half keyword: sher
In the first half of 2021, I quit a job that I had always disliked but had been reluctant to quit because of a good salary, and then found that it was not so difficult to give up this matter. (@Zhou Zhou is now charged)
When you clench your hands, there is nothing inside;
When you open your hands, the world is in your hands.
—— The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
14
My first half keyword: steady
In the first half of 2021, except for half a year older, life seems to have not changed at all, and I comforted myself that this is also a kind of stable happiness. （@summercrush）
Stability does not mean falling into mediocrity,
In fact
Because everything is stable, there is no need to be distracted,
You should have the courage to do anything.
15
My first half keyword: new
In the first half of 2021, I got married, moved into a new house, had a new identity, and my life also moved towards a new stage, and I will strive to turn my trivial days into poetry in the future. (@Muzi)
The most interesting thing in life,
It's about sending the old to the new,
For the highest desire of mankind,
It is to create a new life all the time.
- Li Dazhao
