Angry sponge

In the world of animation, a sponge is a symbol of harmlessness, softness, elasticity, being distorted in any way is laughable. Real life is also full of such "sponges".

Debtor

A friend of mine once declared very eloquently: "The money earned is for spending". The saying sounds like a truth. The problem is that he spends faster than the speed of making money. Buying a new phone when the old one is still running well, changing a car when the old car installment is not yet done, traveling mainly for experience, money is secondary. Initially, it was just a few petty installments. Then it was a long Excel board. He still lived very happily, posting check-in photos regularly, captions always showing that he was living to the fullest. The only thing is that behind each photo is a bank notice reminding him of a very punctual payment schedule. His life gradually divided into two parts, making money during the day and thinking about how to pay at night.

Mental illness

When he was young, he thought tonics were Korean ginseng, cordyceps, or expensive vitamins lying in the bright glass cabinet at the pharmacy.
