The post-30s world | 10, 20, 30.

A joke first.

One year I went diving with two other friends in Lanyu. When I was resting, I went back to my room and happened to hear them talking about "numbers" .

Friend A: You are over 28! How does it feel?

Friend B: It arrived before I knew it. I have always been worried about what would happen, but it was nothing unexpected.

Friend A: Yes... I was super nervous when I first reached 28! After all, I was not mentally prepared, and I was still afraid.

(enters randomly at this time) Me: I also feel like I can't remember how old I am after I turn 28! It seems that there is no difference between 28 and 29. It is about 30 years old before you can clearly feel the feeling of age growth?

After speaking, friends A and B were quiet at first, and then became hilarious in less than three seconds.

Because they are talking about the diving depth, 28 refers to 28 meters, not the age............ = =#

Every decade is a watershed.

10 years old, elementary school student.

We invited the best classmates and relatives at that time to celebrate their birthdays at McDonald's. Under the apple tree, we drank soda and all-you-can-eat fries while playing group games with McDonald's sister (or brother?). Celebrating a birthday at McDonald's was probably the most impressive and lavish treat in the children's world that year.

I closed my eyes and blew the candles on the cake, making a silent wish in my heart that I would like to celebrate my birthday like this in 10 or 20 years.

20 years old, college student.

Of course, my childhood playmate(s) are no longer around, and McDonald's is no longer the birthday celebration place I look forward to. Even though I study in a strange city alone, I am fortunate to have my good roommates in the same bedroom.

I closed my eyes and blew the candles on the cake, thinking silently in my heart, will I still have a birthday with this group of people from different cities in 10 years?

At the age of 30, he has been working in Hong Kong for several years.

Although I managed to find the so-called target job, my enthusiasm at the beginning of the job has been wiped out because I was assigned to two working groups at the same time, and I was busy and tired.

Later, I went to Huang Daxian with my friends to ask for a sign and ask about my career. For the first time in my life, I asked Huang Daxian for guidance, and I even asked for a sign.

 [The twelfth lottery of Huang Daxianling's lottery: Taibai fishing for the moon]
The mirage is imaginary and boundless, and the sky is connected to the sky.

Just thinking about Li Bai's later life, the officialdom was frustrated and unappreciated, and even after getting drunk, he drowned while catching the moon in the river, and he didn't even need to cancel the signing... Two days later, I received an interview notice for a new job, Even though the new company was smaller and the salary was cut by more than half, I didn't look back and started preparing to leave for a new job.

Later, the workload was too much, and one person did the work of several people for a long time. Due to the imbalance of salary and labor, I changed jobs again.

It turned out that the world I grew up in was all about work, vacation, spending money, traveling, and when the money ran out, I went to work seriously.
Not working well? Just change jobs.

The friends around me are more planned, maybe they open their own companies, some people get married, and they have two children.

Watching primary and secondary schools have closed and reopened due to the epidemic, college students who have experienced Hong Kong in 2019 and 2020, and Hong Kong people who are under 30, how are you? Are you still looking forward to growing up?

It turns out that the so-called growing up is a kind of unconsciousness.
I don't know what will happen to me ten years from now?

PS 30th birthday celebration

Because my family just came back to Taiwan, and I was the only one left in Hong Kong, so I could only celebrate my birthday by video.

I complained to my friend about how pitiful it is for me to celebrate my 30th birthday alone, but he bought a small birthday cake and said, "You have said that you are so pitiful, so I have to accompany you."

But after a week, he, together with another friend, helped me celebrate my birthday mysteriously, and ate another fondant cake that was very beautiful but not very tasty.

I closed my eyes and blew the candles on the cake, smiling silently in my heart. In fact, the cake on my birthday was much better.
