Swallows on the beach

Take the kids for a walk on the beach. There are some shops on the roadside. We admire the store facades while looking at the sea view.

We were discussing the store’s signage and design, and unexpectedly discovered another surprise. Under the eaves of a store, swallows have built a nest and are raising their babies. The children were very happy when they saw the swallow's nest for the first time.

We stood there, looking up. Swallows are good at choosing places and build their nests in a safe corner that can protect them from wind and rain. The nest is exquisitely built because they brought in mud bit by bit and put it together with grass leaves and branches. The baby swallows will occasionally show their heads, waiting for feeding.

Swallows are very industrious, flying back and forth to catch insects, and then flying back to feed their babies. Although he is busy and hard-working, he feels that Yanzi is living a leisurely life. They focus on their own insect-catching work and are not disturbed by the outside world. The beautiful figure flies through the sky over and over again, adding another vivid scenery to the seaside. As I watched, I felt suddenly moved.

The swallow quietly settled down in an inconspicuous little corner and lived its own happy life. They don't occupy much territory, they just have their own comfortable little nest. The baby swallow grows up healthily and happily day by day, and one day he will spread his wings and fly. Swallow lives every day to the fullest, guarding the scenery and hope. And isn’t that exactly what we yearn for?

Everyone is under a lot of stress in life, and a major source of stress is the outside world. We all want to be recognized by the outside world, so we often worry about other people's comments. Such concerns often create a vicious cycle. The more we care, the more anxious we become, and eventually we become exhausted. In fact, the world is big, we don’t need to mind so much, and we don’t need to seek everyone’s approval. Wouldn't it be more calm and free to just live in your own corner with warmth, sunshine, and a clear conscience?
