The carefree childhood has already passed, and quietly arriving is a youth full of adventure. Learning to navigate oneself through turbulence and anxiety allows one to paint its splendor.
— Epigraph
While I was still running through the golden waves of wheat, childhood quietly slipped away without my noticing. I reluctantly left the door of childhood and hesitantly pushed open the unfamiliar door before me—youth.
Some say youth is clear; others say it is bright. But the moment I stepped through the door, what met my eyes was a scene of gloom. Youth forced me to put aside childish toys and naive words, compelling me to move toward maturity and reality. Rankings and grades became almost my entire life. Pressure weighed on my heart like a boulder, making it hard for me to breathe. At that time, I was like a lone boat drifting in a gray ocean, full of restlessness. One day, I suddenly realized the truth. I raised the double oars of perseverance and began to navigate myself. Gradually, my youth ceased to be gloomy and became colorful and dazzling.
Youth is the blue of wisdom, where I wander in the ocean of knowledge. It broadens my horizons and enriches my knowledge. Youth is like the vast sea, for there is an idiom called "the sea accepts all rivers." It can absorb all knowledge into my mind, making me mentally refreshed and well-versed in both ancient and modern times.
Youth is the green of hope. It carries our pursuits and ideals. Looking at the dots of green in life, I feel my whole being become relaxed and delighted. It is like a seed that has just sprouted, carrying our dreams and leaving a deep imprint on our hearts, teaching us to strive for our dreams and persist for them.
Youth is the red of passion. It makes us energetic and brave, moving forward for our future. It is like a bright sun, filling us with passion, cheering for the future, and striving for success. It is it that sparks the fire of life, becoming a turning point in our lives.
Youth is the yellow of adventure. It makes us fearless of dangers and brave enough to climb peaks. It teaches us to challenge ourselves, surpass ourselves, and finally fly into the vast sky.
Youth is a magnificent adventure. No matter how many obstacles and thorns are on the road, I will not stop my forward steps. With my strong will and unremitting struggle, I will outline my own—splendid youth.
