When we are young, it doesn't matter whether we should persist or follow the wave!

Although the theme of this film is not clear enough, it leaves a very important question behind. ——When we were young, was what we pursued and insisted on was correct, and was it what we wanted?
This is very important, because in many cases, what you insist on from beginning to end is probably unnecessary in the end. For this, I can only say that when you wanted it, you had to work hard to complete it. It is not important to look back on right and wrong. The results of your hard work at that time (regardless of success or failure) are valuable. And, the bigger you are, the more you value the value of the result, is this right?
In many cases, things are contradictory, but you have to find a positive value from it, which should be an affirmation of your values.
Face everything calmly, no matter how persistent you were before, many times the results did not come out. It may be because you haven't worked hard to that point, or it's very likely that the stage has not come yet.
Believe in yourself, what you insist on will appear sooner or later. When you think about it, the result you were pursuing was actually just a process, and nothing came to fruition. It's just relative, so when it comes to this, what else do you have to worry about.
Do it, not in vain, just do it. Nothing else is important anymore.
However, you have to give yourself an explanation, just like the end of the movie. As for whether the result is what you want, it is not important anymore. The important thing is that you are going through your life with goals and happily.
What's more,
what you persist is actually a normal result of life in the end,
and if you don’t persist, it’s normal to follow the trend, but you have a prerequisite, which is a normal mentality in life, so it will be different.
So, it doesn't matter whether you should persist or follow the wave in the end. But you still have to persist, because this is a kind of progress! A kind of power!

While We're Young quotes

  • Tim: Why is it that when one person picks up their phone, everybody else has to?

    Cornelia: I just have a quick thing...

    Tim: Each of us is so certain that we've got the most important thing to do right now.

    Cornelia: [still using her phone] I know, it's so rude.

  • Josh: You know, fuck you.

    Cornelia: Fuck you. Don't talk to me like that.

    Josh: I'm saying "fuck you" the way Jamie and Darby say it, where it's not a real "fuck you," it's a semi-playful "fuck you."

    Cornelia: We're not Jamie and Darby. We don't talk to each other that way. If you say "fuck you" to me, it feels like a real "fuck you."

    Josh: It is real.

    Cornelia: Fuck you. And not semi-playfully either.

    Josh: Fuck you. Total, real, cutting-to-the-core, fuck you.
