As far as your eyes can see, that's the realm of your life.
Life, as Chaplin said, is "a comedy from a distance, a tragedy up close."
Everyone has had countless moments of exhaustion and frustration, and if you let bad feelings build up, you will only be physically and mentally injured.
As Shakespeare wrote in The Tempest:
"Don't linger under the trees, don't brood in the rain, don't weep in the dark."
When you're unhappy, take a walk to one of these places to bring the light back into your mood.

Mao Yi easily sang in the song, "Late night street corners, the mirror of the city."
The soul of a city's culture is presented at night, and late-night snacking is the most indispensable part of it.
Late-night food stalls, exuding a thick fireworks, but also a collection of countless joys and sorrows.
A while ago, there was an article titled "Northern drift disillusioned, in the late-night food stalls to heal the wounds" of the screen.
In early summer, the streets of Beijing appeared to be the first fireworks of the stalls, a few food trucks surrounded by a four-cornered, greeted every late returnees.
By the epidemic impact of the temporary closure of the owner of the tourism company, in order to ease the inner anxiety, in the downstairs branch of the spicy hot pot stall.
The couple who moved to Beijing for their young son's surgery, and who run a chow mein stall for a living, are always welcoming and kind.
The middle-aged woman, who got off work in the early hours of the morning, ordered a baked cold noodle dish and softly chatted with the boss's wife about her daughter in her hometown.
Young people who suffer from insomnia because of work pressure often put on their slippers and come down to order a kebab and a bottle of beer when they can't sleep.
Diners and stall owners have their own stories, each with their own sorrows and joys, and we meet each other in passing, but we can always talk to each other.
The night wind blew, all the troubles are in the gust of flavor, the sound of laughter in the dissipation.
There are so many difficulties in life, we often need an outlet to relieve the bad mood of those depressed in the chest.
The street corner snack stand is not only a place to eat, but also a good place to release pressure.
It always tells us that life is more than just the immediate loss and uncertainty, but there is more to it than that.
Barbecue, crayfish, spicy hot pot, a flavorful food, can sweep away the day's depression.
The soft light, crowded crowd, and shouting, it is always easy to let people remove the mask and open the heart.
The cool night breeze, a glass of cold beer, all the unhappy, so in the slightly drunken relief.

A lot of people are in a bad mood, always like to hide in the room and cry, and then covered with a blanket to drift off to sleep.
The next morning, I woke up with a pair of red and swollen eyes, which inevitably affects the work and hinders the beauty.
In fact, there are better ways to get out of your room.
Just like in the movie "Chungking Woods", Takeshi Kaneshiro chose to practice running after his breakup, and turned all his tears into sweat.
Exercise not only strengthens our body, but also heals our heart.
The sense of accomplishment that comes from exercise can secrete a kind of "happy hormone" that sweeps away all the unpleasantness in the heart.
Samantha Cheng wrote a song called "Eight Kilometers," which is both a reflection of her and her lover's love affair, as well as her adherence to her fitness credentials to this day.
Once suffered from depression for three whole years, she relied on running to adjust her physical and mental state, only to finally get out of the emotional trough.
"I often ignored my own feelings, such as sadness, the body's needs, the need to rest."
"It was exercise that saved me from finding a healthier and optimistic way to live."
Nowadays, she runs, climbs mountains, does yoga, and is a notorious fitness fanatic in her circle, with most of her Weibo sharing her exercise routine.
Although she is nearly 50 years old, her skin is still tight, her abs are proud of her, and she is full of vigor, so there is no trace of depression.
As the self-discipline master Peng Yuyan said:
Next time you come across something sad, you may want to go to the sports field first.
Play a game of ball with your friends, run around the lawn a few times, and follow the square dance army to move your limbs.
A sweaty, bad mood swept away, the body and mind will be silently rejuvenated.

Borges wrote in his book: "I am always meditating on what a library should look like in heaven."
The warmth of the library is enough to accommodate many lonely souls, and the vast sea of books is always full of healing power.
"I came to Dongguan for seventeen years, and when I think about these years, the best place is the library."
Fifty-four years old, he came to Dongguan with his hometown after his divorce many years ago, moving back and forth between large and small shoe factories.
Financial hardship, marital disillusionment, boring labor, indifferent relationships.
Under the multiple attacks of life, the library gave Wu Guichun the longest companionship and comfort.
For twelve consecutive years, he spent almost every Spring Festival in the library, reading Dream of the Red Chamber, reading Chinese history, and memorizing ancient poems.
When the days of working abroad are hard, as long as the pages of the book are turned, all the troubles are dispersed, and there is a solid support in the heart.
As Wu Guichun said, "Books can be a good way to make sense of the situation, and the only thing that can help people is books."
For many lost people in the city, the library is undoubtedly the best refuge.
Life is not always as good as it seems, but with a book by your side, you can always get a moment of inner stability.
I like the saying, "As far as your eyes can see, that's where you are in life."
Sometimes we are not happy, but because we think too much, but read too little, eyes and mind are too narrow.
If you feel that life is not as good as you want it to be, go to the library.
Sink your heart, read a book, with the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign pioneers talk freely, and the main character in the book *** experience sadness and happiness.
You will find that the difficulties in front of you in the river of life, but a drop in the ocean, the heart of the trouble is more common than worth mentioning.
The book creates a world different from the reality, where there is no "car, house, ticket" trouble, you can breathe freely, free to roam.
A good book to read, people will be full of the power to start again.

A reader has shared a story of his own in the background.
After graduation, she stayed in Shanghai and worked alone for eight years.
During these eight years, she has changed jobs and moved three times, except for a Happy Valley card that she has renewed four times in a row.
Every time she was unhappy, she would take the subway alone for two hours and travel halfway across the city to the amusement park.
Most of the time, she rides the Big Pendulum and roller coasters alone, shouting as her body is swung in mid-air.
The moment the music ended, her feet landed safely and all her worries were left in the air.
And the children in the playground, that carefree face, bright and clear smile, always make her unconsciously upturned corners of the mouth.
I once read a sentence: "The happiness of adults is always only 1%, but the happiness of children is always full."
The joy of youth is always easy, a game, a lollipop, a praise is enough to make us jump.
And when we grow up, we easily have everything we longed for when we were young, and our happiness seems to be lost.
In fact, life is sometimes not so complicated, just because along the way, think too y.
The days are always unhappy, not fate is unfair, but put down too little, want too much.
Happiness is simple when you are young, and when you grow up, simplicity is the greatest happiness.
As St. Thuberry, the author of The Little Prince, said:
"Every grown-up was once a little child, though, only a few remember. We have lost ourselves, and it is time we got ourselves back."
When you're feeling down, go to the playground and be a kid again.
To experience those interesting or thrilling rides, shouting, the heart of the unpleasant, all scattered in the air.
In the surrounding ups and downs of laughter, to find the long-lost happiness and innocence.

In The Long Intermission, it is written:
"It is often the case that life becomes more and more gray until we think that all the light has left us.
And yet the light is still there, always there, and if we open the door just a crack, it will come pouring in."
Life is meant to be a long journey, with lows and setbacks.
Don't always wander in sadness, learn to please yourself so that life can be set right.
The world is so beautiful, love when full of flowers, rainy day a lake ripples, fall, winter, spring and summer, each with its own posture.
Life has three thousand troubles, and there are thousands of antidotes.
Life is not a matter of time.
