Handling emotions also means handling relationships; they do exactly that.
When I was younger, I often felt like I had a lot of emotions that came out of nowhere. I would inexplicably feel happy, sad, irritable, indignant…
But now that I'm this age, I've started to realize that there's no such thing as emotions without a reason, nor are emotions 'out of nowhere.' Those 'out of nowhere' emotions are simply what I hadn't figured out about my own inner thoughts
Perhaps, some 'out of nowhere' arethings that have always been hesitant to be spoken about or unwilling to confront
like falling in love with a male classmate. Due to various reasons, I didn't want to admit it, I lied to others, and I even lied to myself, but my feelings were still affected by him. Seeing him, hearing good news about him, I would unconsciously feel joyful, and when I saw him chatting with other girls, I couldn't help but feel melancholy and lost
There are also things we shouldn't care about that we secretly care about, like when someone accidentally drops or breaks something we love. Getting angry about it can make us feel petty and resentful, but if we don't get angry, we'll truly feel sorry for it. So, we'll inexplicably feel down for a while
Actually, people do have all kinds of emotions, including happiness, unhappiness, positivity, and of course, negativity
But we've been taught from childhood that negative emotions are wrong, shouldn't be there, and shouldn't be shown. So, we try to hide these emotions, and as a result
we don't even know where they come fromHowever, if one day you can understand the process of emotions developing in your heart, and even discover that others can understand this process too, it's even more surprising that they won't be disgusted by you, and there won't be the negative reaction you imagined
You will suddenly feel a
hugedifficult to describe joyYou'll thinkfinally someone understands youThis is because after reading 'Bear and Mouse (First Collection)', I've been thinking about it
I read this series of books myself, and I read them to my son. Before reading this series of books, I knew that this series of books was very famous, it was said that its author
Genevieve Wise
was a professional artist before she became a pseudonym, this was her first picture book series, but it caused a huge sensation, won many awards, was highly praised internationally, and was loved by parents and children. It was even adapted into an animated seriesBut after reading it twice, I still couldn't figure out two questions in my heart:Why is this book so popular? Why can it touch so many people?
I asked my son after he read it, 'Which one do you like best?' He hesitated for a long time and said, 'The Simon disappeared' (he doesn't know why)And coincidentally, 'Simon disappeared' is the first book in this series, and it's the most strongly reacted book
So, I was more curious, what magic does this book have? How did this simple story become so popular?
Character substitution
At the beginning, I really didn't know it. 'Simon disappeared' is just about a little mouse named Sanna who lost her toy – a doll named Simon – and her parents, named Att and Sanna, tried many ways to find Simon
It's a little too capricious. She lost her doll, and I can understand her sadness, but Att was always trying to coax her, giving her so many compensation dolls, and she still said they weren't hers, her Simon was unique. It wasn't until Att finally made a doll that looked like Simon, did she finally agree. Att is so tolerant of Sanna, even though she was the one who lost the doll, he tried his best to compensate her until she was satisfied
And this big brown bear Att can be so tolerant of Sanna, even if she's the one who lost the doll, he has tried every way to compensate her until she is satisfied
This is really too exaggerated,
can I be like Att towards my children?I questioned myself, the answer is no…When I thought about this, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration – I was unconsciously substituting myself as a mother, naturally substituting Att – this family, if I substitute myself into Sanna's role, how would it be?If I substituted myself into Sanna, I would beexcited
I realized that this is the most perfect fairytale story, it's even 100 times warmer and more perfect than Cinderella and Snow White, because it builds the most beautiful relationship with the most ordinary life scenes
I have to admit, if I were Sanna, I would receive the most perfect care and comfort like Att, I would cryI would really be moved!Substituting yourself into a fairytale world
This series of books, whether it's 'Simon disappeared', 'Photo Stories', or 'Sanna's Confusion' and 'Holiday Cabin'They all run through a line – Sanna's emotions'Simon disappeared'Sanna lost her doll Simon, so she was sad and upset, until finally Att bear handed her a similar doll, she was happy again
'Photo Stories'
Sanna was curious about Att's photos, she was depressed and confused, she would complain and mutter, until Att took her to take photos, she became happy again'Sanna braces for questions'In the middle of the countryside, Sanna and Att played games, because of the sudden intrusion of strangers, Sanna became unhappy, but under Att's guidance, they gradually interacted with strangers, Sanna started to feel warm and interesting'Holiday Cabin'
In this book, Sanna and Att's games, because of the interruption of strangers, Sanna became unhappy, but with Att's guidance, they interacted with strangers little by little, Sanna started to feel warm and interestingSanna's emotions are drawn by the artist, and she is either slumped on the sofa without moving, or her eyebrows and eyes are drooping, and she is full of melancholy. She is just like every irritable girlThey always hide in a secluded placecomplaining and muttering, and hope that someone can perceive their inner thoughts through their body language
Although this is a bit exaggerated, no one can deny that it'sthe charm of a young girlAnd as we grow up, we realize more and more scenery, we start not to show emotions, we immediately solve it ourselves after recognizing and accepting emotions, we no longer expect anyone to discover and accept it. We become more independent and mature, this is a new charm, but which charm is better? It's hard to say
But whether it's someone else's acceptance or your own, regardless of whether it's for people or yourself, it's a happy thingAs long as you recognize and accept your emotions, no matter how it's done, it's a joyous thing
Temporary hiding can only make emotions accumulate and ferment, leading to a huge emotional ballAnd when others accept it, it's even happierThis is because in addition to eliminating negative emotions, it also brings positive emotions from others' support
This is like a family throwing away bad things and adding good things, which is not good to begin with
But if you can accept your emotions, you can recognize and accept people like Att, and then you can harvest a happy lifeAnd what we expect our children to be like, it's also like this
