The hard part is the fact that everyone ages.
From the beginning of this drama, I started to pay attention to the problem of aging. I've been thinking about aging since I was in my twenties. It is true that most of one's life is tormented, and the only extremely short moments of highlight are tormented. This is easy to understand. Without comparison, there is no experience.
Today, I had the opportunity to apply makeup to my grandma, who is over old. This is the first time I have faced aging up close. To be honest, I was a little scared at first. I have not been sure. How much has changed in the face of a vigorous grandmother—how old an average seventy-year-old woman will be. It's hard to imagine. After all, everyone in their twenties thought they would never grow old. There are photos to prove that my grandmother was in a better state than I am now in her twenties.
I don't think the makeup process is as tricky as I thought. The age spots on my grandma's face that I was worried about, which could not be perfectly covered by the concealer palette, were perfectly integrated after the whole makeup was completed; at the same time; My grandma's face is moderately dry and oily. In addition to the simple and proper maintenance, my skin is in good condition, which means it is easy to apply makeup. At the same time, with the function of the current beauty camera, my grandma's face is almost flawless. "It seems that I am young. Twenty", summed it up in her own words.
After the makeup is done, I come to the conclusion that women can be beautiful at any age when they are in good condition. Really, my grandma's eyes were glowing and her whole face was glowing after I finished her makeup and she saw her beauty. It is true that my makeup skills and these mid-to-high-end cosmetics can create good results, but the point is that this is the first time my grandma has put on a more modern, complete and detailed makeup. She is confident and beautiful. I think I do this for Grandma's decision to put on makeup is amazing!
Since we have different roles and divisions of labor in society, we will face different pressures, but the former is not necessarily the whole reason. The pressure of the father may be that someone who is close to each other at a certain table brings a 250,000 watch. The pressure of the mother may be the new young female intern in the unit. What is the pressure of grandma and grandpa? My old colleague hugged my grandson again. My pressure is to start with 410,000 for the top-equipped Mac Pro, but I don’t have a Kindle Oasis3 yet... These pressures affect our lives looming, far and near, but here I want to use the ones in the play Screenshots to relieve our stress:
What we wanted at the time, worried, hated, and struggled, will slowly become something else over time, and maybe even something we have to accept and try to live with, accept & learn. Just like a topic I saw two days ago: how do we achieve freedom of consumption? The first points to be done are to pick the key points, to have a dialogue with the soul, to "exquisite material desires", and to break up. We are truly happy when we have enough freedom and time.
I want to learn, I want to go far, I want to realize my own value, I want to enrich my brain, I never decorate myself with other things, I like nature, I like all wild things. As long as I can learn something, I am happy, and I am fearless of aging.
