This Lonely Journey Is Called Life
It’s 2 am in Beijing, but I have troubles in sleeping. That’s why I decided to write something.
I can’t say I’m a girl who can handle with everything by myself because I’m not a superwoman, I can’t run marathons, I can’t memorize each word from every book I read, I can’t fly to the moon…However, I can say that I’m getting stronger and stronger.
Today was kind of remarkable, I went for a movie alone for the first time, what a great experience! The main character in this movie is a huge ape called Kong, a powerful guardian of a secret island known as Skull Island. He killed thousands of monsters that tried to destroy this place or threat local people, but the leader of the military group seemed intent on getting him killed, which leads to more deaths.
Kong is the king of this island, trying to keep the ecological balance of this island. He is so strong that nothing can be compared to him. But at the meantime, I believe he’s pretty lonely, but who isn’t? Everybody is a lonely king in their lives.
As I get older, I get to do more and more things alone without relying on others, which is a good sign to indicate that I’m becoming a very independent person. Today I went to the movies alone, and maybe someday I’ll have the guts to go travelling alone, or maybe…
Somebody said that I have troubles in making decisions on my own without being forced, but I don’t think it’s true, nobody forced me to make decisions unless I don’t think it’s worth doing or I care about how others feel, and I actually don’t like it when people say something like “my mom or dad told me to do so”. When most of my classmates waste time in their rooms, I decided to take part in several internships although the last one didn’t go well, I learned something and grew up a little, I learned how to behave confidently in an interview, how to build a proper relationship with colleagues, and what to concern at work, etc.
Life is a lonely journey, and it’s getting more lonely as you grow older, but there’s nothing to be afraid of.
(It's hard to organize what I want to express in English, especially at midnight haha)

(For someone writing in a foreign language at midnight this is a brilliant effort - keep it up!)

Well, journeys are not meant to be easy, actually, when we get older, we are bounded to face adversities by ourselves, however it doesn't mean that we're getting more mature when we decide not to do what people have advised us. Also, we should realize that our actions are limited. We are powerless face to the random events which occur without asking for our permission. However, I may have to disagree with you when you say life is a lonely journey. I tend to think that life gives us scopes to define who we are and with whom we stay. According to Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher, human beings are naturally social, that is, we tend to search for individuals who make us feel complete. Nonetheless, I think that introspection is the key to run our lives, because It allows us to be sure about our attitudes and decide whether something is right or not. Therefore, I really appreciated your lyricism and I loved the way you put yourself in a position of making your own decisions. Also, whenever you want, we can have a conversation about this crazy things that make life unique. Cheers from Brazil!
