It turns out that there are ten thousand cute ways to meet you.

Night chats, gossips, walks, games, delicious food...we are ordinary people, but the first intersection we have is called friendship.

At one o'clock in the morning, I was insomnia and planned to clean up the accumulated memory on my phone. Suddenly I came across an image gallery about matcha collected in WeChat. It was accidentally forwarded to me by Miss Yingzi half a year ago. She sent over a dozen pictures at once, all of which were beautiful photos of matcha. I looked at each one carefully, as if the matcha cookies and matcha mousse were on my lips in an instant.

Yingzi asked me: "How is it, you like it, right?" I immediately replied with a bunch of drooling expressions.

As an insomniac, I never thought that I would find such a pile of life treasures hidden in my WeChat collection. This is probably the magic of friendship. Even if time passes, she will still clearly remember her preferences. We don't stick together every day, but a piece of news that pops up occasionally can make people happy for most of the day.

They always come as promised when we need them most. Even if they wait, they never let them down, adding a dose of sugar to our lives that are as light as boiled water.

Speaking of which, Yingzi and I got to know each other quite uniquely. Because of a seat change in the class, we gradually turned from ordinary classmates into old friends who understand each other best.

That was the first big change after the separation of arts and sciences. We were all sorted together in a daze, even though we didn’t recognize our classmates clearly.

Later we talked about our first impressions of each other. She said that I was a day student who arrived at school on time, and I said that she was my "timer."

I think the first major turning point in the deepening of our friendship was the class meeting on Friday.

When my old classmate left temporarily for something, the class exploded instantly. Even though we were sitting under the podium, we could still chat without restraint. From idols to gourmet food, from gourmet food to friend circles, my God, at that time I really couldn’t imagine that there would be anyone so similar to me in the world.

Buddha said: "It takes five hundred times of looking back in the past life to pass by once in this life." I think we must have disrupted the loose factors of the laws of nature and broken through the layers of laws. Obstacles, meet another self in that "wandering" youthful years.

At the beginning of the new year, the world was forced to press the pause button, and a set of pajamas held up the mornings and evenings waiting for restart.

During those days when I was staying at home, my circle of friends was bustling with activity. Everyone was working hard to unlock new skills and was no longer willing to settle for three meals a day.

During that time, we talked about the current situation and the past. One time when we talked about the photo album archive in our mobile phone, we both agreed that except for the screenshots from class, there was nothing left.

Do you take a lot of photos with your good friends? Whether it's a headshot or a sand sculpture action, anything is fine.

But for the two of us, the first time we were photographed together was when we were teased by classmates and turned into an emoticon. The second time was a photo taken in the library before the college entrance examination. The rest are not even left.

Compared with photos, I prefer to write down bit by bit in memos on my mobile phone.

Remember to sign up for Tencent membership together just to watch the bubble drama that you have been thinking about for a long time, write down the postcards we exchanged together, write down the regrets in high school...

So take advantage of this opportunity Everything in the world is gentle, and the important people are still by your side, so please embrace them freely.

Who do you spend the most stress-relieving time with?

Too often, I am immersed in communication with Yingzi, without purpose or boundaries. A good mood opens on time, a small mood closes early.

Many times I hope to have such a soft place where your sadness can evaporate and happiness can overflow. It was a mid-term assessment at my radio station. I trained in the morning and evening for half a month, met like-minded partners, and spent that tight time. They suddenly triggered a mechanism, and I wanted to tell her all the happiness and pain I had experienced for a period of time.

So there was a video connection 720 kilometers away. She was still the girl who would always stay in the library, like a girl who came out of Zhuji in the south of the Yangtze River. She was not calm or indifferent at all. Too much.

She missed her favorite foreign language major, and I missed my favorite Chinese language and literature major. That was a regret we talked about occasionally, but so what? In this world, all gains and losses are not worth it. As long as we have a heart that faces the sun, we can live a free and brilliant life and meet a better self.

The seed of opening a public account gradually took root in my heart.

From the initial submission writer to now having my own small space, I have also struggled with whether the articles I publish will be appreciated by others. How long can I hold on?

I asked many friends, and as you can imagine, their answers were the same, "I will support you!" "Hold on!" Maybe I am a pessimist by nature, and motivational words are almost ineffective in front of me. , until Yingzi and I talked about it, she said: "It's great to do what you like to do!"

In addition to being moved, she was more thinking.

For an independent individual in the world, what is your high-level language? Food, people, social interaction...diners who have never met at a dinner party may become friends in the blink of an eye.

The fast, accurate and convenient way of making friends is gradually eroding the "old and slow" literary and restrained expression.

Any regrets? A little bit.

But this is just my nostalgia for that written era, because I also understand that every generation has its own way of expression. The greatest advantage of this era is that as long as you are willing to open yourself up, you can always find someone you can call a "friend" among thousands of people as quickly as possible.

Later, we will eventually understand that the person who understands you best, whether it is words or experiences during the times, is the person who can connect with your soul.
