Women who are afraid of male superiority
It is the most intuitive feeling that the creation of this angry woman has become vicissitudes of life. The truth cannot replace the stimulation of hallucinations. For thousands of years, the ideological toxin of male superiority has long been deeply rooted and locked in the ideological hell of women. The ‘cost’ and ‘role’ of being afraid is now clearly recognized.
Youth
Please do not refuse to grow up. The life that once lost the primary colour is like the incomplete piece of the puzzle that will never be found. Please experience all the unexpected things on the way, and let your heart be afraid and lonely.
Occasionally just sit down and enjoy the changes of light and shadow that are reflected on the whole body. The light with a bitter taste is trapped in the besieged city. What you should do is to insist on cleaning the darkness in the body that does not belong to the darkness, run eagerly again, once again let the dream bloom with tempting fragrance and pay serious attention to these budding flowers.
