【Shile Collection】05: "Li's Family Letter"
The first letter: to the parents
Hello dear parents, you have worked hard all these years. Looking back at the past, how willful I was, not only did I always love to contradict you, but I always forgot to call you, and I always hung up your phone in a hurry with the excuse that I didn't have time. I'm sorry, but I'm not busy at all, and no one comes to me. It's just my own problem, I always think that no one loves me, but in fact, I am not confident enough. You always say that I am very good, let me go happily, don't be afraid of falling, and walk bravely towards the future. I know this is an encouragement for me to be a man who stands up to the sky. However, my son is not filial, not only has he wasted his time, but he also doesn't care much about you. One at home, one away, I always hurt, hurt your love for me. I'm sorry, Dad; I'm sorry, Mom. I used to be ignorant, but now I finally understand this hard work and helplessness, you are my eternal wealth, I want to say that you have worked hard, I love you. Dad, you are running around alone, no one cares and no one understands, and it also makes us cold to you and makes you feel cold again and again. Now that I have reached the stage when my father was at the beginning, I understand how silent love this is, which is more tragic than mother's love. I am willing to go away for my family, I have been gone for 20 years, and I have endured loneliness, just for this family, I'm sorry, Dad, how distressing you make us. Mom and Dad are not at home, so you will be alone in handling all the big and small things in the family. Over the years, I have wronged you, and I have made you feel uneasy at home. Time has taken away your face, you have no regrets, you and your father are my favorite people, don't work so hard in the future, okay? I don't want to admit that I'm grown up, but you're old. Dear Mom and Dad, it's good to have you here for the rest of your life.
The second letter: for you who are disappointed
Forgive me, dear you, for describing you with the word dear, I know that you have utterly disappointed me. Because I don't know how to love, you're hurt again and again. I was given opportunities again and again, but I abandoned them again and again. I know you won't listen to anything I say anymore. But I still want to tell you what is in my heart, and I don't want to regret it. Dear you, it's not that I don't care about you for a week of cold war with you, I watch your dynamics every day, and the bits and pieces that happen to you. It's not that I don't care about you, it's just that you don't notice it. Remember when I texted you and asked why you weren't happy lately? Actually, I care about you, it's just that I don't know how to lower my head and admit my mistake, you're waiting for me, waiting for days. Finally, when I saw that there were photos of other boys in your space, I suddenly felt that something important had been lost, and that was you. I was jealous, sad, and troubled, but after reflecting for a few days, I realized that I love you, and I finally know how to love someone. You're disappointed in me, you call me naïve, you say you're not right with me, but I know that's not what you think in your heart, you really want to be with me. It's just that you don't believe I'm going to be good to you. Although there are people pursuing you now, but after a few days of cultivation, I already know how to cherish you, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me, I will never give up on moving you, you are a good girl, I will not give up. I didn't know how to cherish it, but now that I have the ability, I will never give up. I want you to believe that I have changed, and I am changed because of you!
The third letter: Give it to yourself
Dear self, what are your dreams? Where is your ideal? Is it to live in obscurity like this, or to struggle all his life from now on. You've never asked yourself what you want, so what exactly do you want? Life is hard, it's not as you think, you need to work hard and be patient to earn money. Although you think you are unruly, you have hurt too many people because of it. What kind of life you want to live depends on your efforts now. The one you love the most is leaving, aren't you going to change something? Watching her leave like this, can you bear it? Can't you give her happiness? You have the ability, but why do you want to hurt her in front of your eyes, you have to reflect on yourself. Now do you know how to love someone? After so many days of painful reflection, did you know? It's about loving and letting her feel that you care, not being indifferent. She's a good girl, and after two years with you, don't you want to give her a definite home? You just sent her into someone else's arms? It's time for you to wake up! Yes, it's time for me to wake up. I myself have the ability to have faith and can give you happiness instead of being sad here. You need to persevere, with your gentle and changing heart to wake her up. You are also very good, you can write poetry, write prose, write biographies, sing and have many unusual skills, why bother to be self-effeminate and have no confidence? You're no worse than other boys, why do you sit here and watch her leave, stupid, love gives her happiness!
PS: Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will chase you back, I used to be very bad, always hurt your heart, but now I will never give up, because I have become excellent because of you, because I like you so much. Because now I am mature because of you, because I can give you my happiness now, because I have figured it out, I love you, irreplaceable! Believe me is no longer the same person I used to be, and I am also excellent now! But now I can only bless you, and I wish you eternal happiness. I'm sorry, I know I'm sorry can't make up for the damage done to you.
