Another mid-autumn festival, it is like this year is still going to be the same old thing, of course, without families. In fact, I don’t recall much family reunion times on this festival since I have been far away from home in university life and now in work life. Gradually, I get used to spending time with my roommates, friends and bestie. Maybe killing time hanging out, eating in a fancy restaurant, shopping, watching shows and movies, wasting huge time on social media or doing nothing but letting time slip by.
Maybe things will be different with a boyfriend or girlfriend. You glue to each other and keep each other company. Or maybe not. You bore each other and there’s nothing new.
It seems everything is OK except that once in a while, I think of my home and my families. I miss mom, dad, sis, bro, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, neighbors and even dogs and cats I once kept. I miss that stainless blue sky, big pieces of cotton-like cloud, endless mountains, green trees, small rivers and such things could go on forever. I want to go home to breath the free air and lie on my own bed. You know what, I miss everything as it is, including the way furniture lies.
Suddenly I miss that big family reunion, people eating, chatting, shouting, laughing and babies crying. It does not matter what I was doing at that moment or how tedious, boring and trivial the chatting is. What matters is that that crowd and noise surround you. Students once joke that teachers’ lectures are background music. That noise is the same thing.
They say you never really miss your families when you are happy. How true! I seek for families whenever I feel low, blue, and defeated. Home is the best comfort and medicine. I don’t need make up to feel good. I don’t need efforts to win love. I don’t need to hide my flaws or scars. I don’t have to worry tomorrow or anything. Ew, you get a ugly zit [痘]on your face! No worry, go home. Just kidding.
Yes, sometimes you get harsh criticism from families, too. There may be some mad shouting, fighting and even cursing. Being so true to families, people often expose their feelings directly and without reserve. The more care, the more anger. The more love, the more roughness. That explains why people are inclined to show kindness and smile to total strangers while have a long face and short temper with families. It is true hash fact. But it is a bad habit because families are the ones most needed to be treated gently and patiently. A harmonious family requires delicate care.
Every time I go home, the first thing I want to is to hug mom and dad. However every time I talk myself out of the idea because my parents are not used to such intimate act and direct way of showing love. Still, I long for a hug, a hug that would close all the troubles, heart-breaking behind me. That’s why I sometimes envy western way of showing love and care.
So much for bragging. Now is the time to put it to an end. One more thing I have to mention is that never hesitate to show love for your families. I wish you all a wonderful getting-together time on Mid-Autumn Festival.
