The Charm of Afternoon |
|
|
People often say that the morning is the most important time of the day, and
that it is the best time to start one's day. However, I personally believe that
the afternoon is also a wonderful time of the day. It is a time to rest after
lunch and to bask in the warm sunshine. It is a time to relax and unwind, and it
can be truly enjoyable.
In my childhood memories, I remember being forced by my parents to take a nap in
the afternoon. I was always a bit too energetic and didn't want to lie down.
However, as a child, I had no choice but to reluctantly comply. But my mind
would not calm down, so I would often sneak out of bed quietly after my dad
started snoring, and search for picture books in other rooms. I would then read
in the warm sunlight and gentle breeze of the afternoon. Perhaps it was the
gentle afternoon sunshine or the sedative effect of the lunch, but I would often
doze off with the warmth of the sun covering my body.
However, there are many ways to spend the afternoon, not just reading. When I
got tired of reading, I would play with my Barbie dolls, do some handicrafts, or
even play pranks (of course, only when my parents weren't looking). In this way,
I wove the threads of my happy memories into a scarf that was scented with the
sun, and I kept it in the wardrobe of my memories.
As time passed, I gradually no longer needed to take a nap in the afternoon. The
afternoon became my free time, and I continued to keep my childhood habits.
However, I now prefer to quietly read essays in the afternoon. Essays seem
especially beautiful in the afternoon sunlight and gentle breeze, and they bring
a sweet touch to my heart. Perhaps this is the great charm of the afternoon for
me?
