Walden Pond, the Moon and Sixpence, counting stars, youth living in the wilderness, traveling around the world

Thoreau lived in Walden Pond for more than two years and advocated a simple lifestyle. I read "Walden Pond" when I was in high school. It felt very good. Reading this kind of book makes people feel very peaceful. , I was no longer so anxious, and I even excerpted some passages at that time.

This kind of life is a bit like the quiet inaction I seek. I don’t have enough writing skills to judge it yet. I just silently read the comments of all kinds of people on Douban, Zhihu, and Encyclopedia, plus my own Experiences and unwritten thoughts slowly formed a hazy thing in my mind.

The theme of "The Moon and Sixpence" is generally similar to this, but to a greater extent. I've only turned a few pages and don't have the patience to read any further. Through the introduction, I know the general outline of the story. The protagonist of the story is based on Gauguin. He is a middle-aged banker with a successful career. In order to pursue his secret dream of painting, he abandons his wife and children and runs away from home. I stayed on a small island in the South Pacific for more than ten years, where I started a new family, painted, and died. Although material life is difficult, he seems to enjoy it.

Maugham's childhood experience made him develop an introverted and sensitive character. When I grew up, I also had a lot of life experience and worked in many jobs. He is also gay. "3/4 love women, 1/4 love men."

Counting Stars is a song that expresses almost the same content as above. Counting dollars is not as good as counting stars.

Yeju Youth is an up owner that I follow on Station B. Like me, he graduated in 2017. They studied painting at the University of Architecture, and the three of them were classmates from high school to university. After graduation, I didn’t look for a job. Instead, I rented a house in a mountain village, cleaned and decorated it myself, cooked, painted, photographed their daily life, and worked in self-media. I still envy their life.

I also follow a lot of travel uploaders on Bilibili, such as the documentaries I See the World, Ten Years Around China, etc. Through their lenses, it feels like I have been on a tour myself. But the more I watched, the less I wanted to go out for a walk.

These all have the same thing, and mainstream evaluations tend to agree. There are still some things that can be dug out and written about, but I can’t write them out now. Let’s record it first.
