Vanity Fair and City I (17)

The Earth is still rotating. Time is still rolling on. And life is…

For Juliet, life is just beginning. She has set up her flower shop. She is still learning to cook nutritious food. She is decorating her life with flowers, music, food, business and her future husband. Life is just beginning.

But for Melanie, life in this city has ended. Several days later, she went back GZ. At the train station, she smiled bitterly and said goodbye to me, to this city. Maybe she would never step on this city again.

For most of us, we are just “Melanie”. We come here with the most beautiful hope. We strive for our beautiful dreams. We try to get something, but sometimes, what you paid can’t always bring back what you want. We are beat, and we stand up, but we are down again… The journey is very tiring. So at the end of the year, most of us leave this city for ever, back to our hometown, and never come back again.

Only a few of us can be “Juliet”, who can buy a house here, who can set up her own business here, and who can build her family with her lover here.

And there are some people who are neither “Melanie” nor “Juliet”. I am one of them. For me, life is still continuing…No beginning, no ending.

I don’t belong to this city. It is weird that I have a feeling that I don’t belong to my hometown any more. Whenever I came back my hometown, so many new things, so many new faces, that I acted like a fool. People walking in the streets are no longer my old friends or classmates. I can’t find my position in my hometown.

I missed those good old days when I could always meet my friends or classmates in the streets. My hometown is so small that I could always meet some friends whenever I went out. Together with them I could feel that I belonged to my hometown, I belonged to them, and I didn’t feel lonely. However, most of us have begun new life in other cities. Most of us don’t belong to our hometown. Most of us have stepped into a new journey and can’t go back to those good old days…

Since life is still continuing, I should focus on the present and the future.

Peter is still showing off his new house and his future plan to set up business. Whenever he was boosting in the office, my female-peacock-colleagues would crowd him as if the stars do to the moon. Oh we girls are always attracted by men’s ambitious plans!

However, whenever my boss comes, Peter will zip his lips. Compared to my boss, Peter is nothing but a silly man. And when our successful, handsome, young, single boss comes, we sit in front of the computer, pretending to work hard like a good employee.

If he doesn’t come to our desks, we will still browse the internet and see what happens to our favorite singers. If he comes to my desk, ok, I will quit the chat room as quickly as possible…

How funny it is…

Somehow I used to view things in a bad light, but now I learn to view things in a funny way. And the result is, all things are funny and interesting.

So life is always full of sunshine.
