Some people have to lower the air conditioner to 22 degrees at night, pull the blanket tightly from head to toe to sleep soundly. Some people are determined not to use the air conditioner, just need the number one fan to rotate gently, but the blanket must still cover the belly. Some people even "play big": The air conditioner runs, the fan also runs, the blanket is still covered, hugging the pillow. No one can explain why. It's like some people drink coffee to wake up, some people drink it and sleep soundly. Some people eat pho with a lot of onions, others just need to see a little onion and ask to change bowls.
People are inherently a collection of very difficult-to-understand hobbies.
The funny thing is that we often bring our hobbies to work... other people's standards. Seeing someone turn on the fan and cover themselves with a blanket, they say it's an electricity bill. Seeing someone turn on the 18-degree air conditioner, they say "don't know how to love the machine". While the owner of the room only has one simple wish: to sleep well.
Perhaps young people like to argue about who is right. The older you get, the more you see, many things are not right or wrong, only suitable for you or not. Life is already too many rules to follow. Going out on the street must be lawful. Going to work must be on time. Meeting must be in accordance with procedures. Speaking must be proper. If even sleeping must follow other people's standards, it's really tiring.
Turning on the fan and covering with a blanket, after all, is just a way to please yourself after a long day. It's like someone likes to drink coffee in an old cup with a broken handle. Some people have to listen to fake rain to fall asleep. Some people insist on leaving a pale yellow night light on all night because they feel more peaceful.
Happiness is sometimes not something great, it's just finding a way to make yourself feel comfortable. As long as that joy does not bother anyone, does not hurt anyone, then what reason is there to ask for permission from the whole world? So, if tonight you want to turn on the fan and cover yourself with a blanket, just do it. Want to turn on the air conditioner really cold and curl up in a cotton blanket, it's okay. Want the air conditioner to run, the fan turns, the blanket covers it tightly like sleeping in a European winter even if it's thirty-five degrees outside Hanoi... it's okay.
In this life, there are too many things to try to please others. At least, sleep should be a place where you have the right to pamper yourself.
