"Girl's Dream Thirty" tells the story of a thirteen-year-old girl who experienced her life when she was thirty. Although her childhood dreams were basically realized, thirty-year-old Gina missed the most precious things and was able to realize her life. A story of discovering that your past choices were wrong, and ultimately going back to the past, thereby changing the future and finding your own happiness.

The story itself is not too emotional, and it does not have to move you to tears, but looking at it, I couldn't help shedding tears when I was as cold and hard as a stone. Gina, 30, has a good job, a good income, a room full of beautiful clothes, and a famous and handsome boyfriend, but her superficial brilliance cannot conceal the real lack in her heart.Thirty-year-old Gina is actually not happy. She is selfish, indifferent, and has no real friends.

I cried when Gina said to Matt, "Why are we not friends anymore?" Yeah, we used to hurt people who really cared about us for our little vanity, and we lost each other in the end, but when we grew up, we stubbornly believed that it was necessary to grow up, so we learned to be indifferent and not to care, but we never asked our hearts, do we really have no regrets?

When Gina said to Matt, "I'm a guy. I don't even know myself. I don't even talk to my parents. I was in a relationship with a married man last week, and I don't even have a real friend. I'm not the Gina you used to know...", I cried at that time. Yes, why am I not like this now, treating my parents with indifference and alienation, and I don't have a real friend, just because I want to self-willed life, but do not know that this self has lost itself!

It would be great if everyone could see their future as a child, like Gina, and then go back and live again, so that we don't miss the people and things we really care about. But the reality is that we can never go back to the past, and we can't jump to the future in one step. We can only live in the present, live in the present, and when choosing, ask our heart: "Is this what I want to do now?" I

I remember Gina asking her mother: "If you can, would you like to go back in time?"

Mom: "If you can make the wrinkles on your face disappear."

Gina: "Looking back on the past, do you have any regrets?"

Mom: "No."

Gina: "Really?"

Mom: "Really?"

Gina: "Did you not miss anything?"

Mom: "I admit that I do and miss a lot of things, but I have no regrets. Because, if you don't miss it, you don't know what's right!"

Suddenly, I felt that what my mother said was very reasonable. Yes, how can I know it's wrong if I didn't miss it? This is how life is. We often have to taste the bitterness of mistakes before we know what to do. But this process can only be experienced by ourselves. The important thing is to choose the right path after knowing that we are wrong, and follow it. Follow your heart and live as you want to be!
