When I was young, I often played with my good friends after school. My parents stipulated that I must go home before seven o'clock no matter what. At that time, I was thinking how great it would be if the time never reached seven o'clock, so that I could stay with my friends all the time. In fun time. Even as I grow up, I have not made any progress at all. I always want to stay in the good and happy times of the past. So I created this fantasy world without "seven o'clock", which means I never have to say goodbye to my friends, and I never have to leave this paradise that will never disappear.
But will everything really be as imagined? It seems that everyone has been moving forward, and I am the only one who still stays here recalling the past memories. The rich and colorful world is actually empty inside. This human-made paradise is a metaphor for all unforgettable memories. Growing up always means goodbye. When you don’t want to face those goodbyes, you can also choose to temporarily escape into this illusory paradise.
