The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the curtain gap on the bed, as if it is quietly calling for people's awakening. Often, however, it is the sound of the moment that brings me back from the dream to the reality. It reminds me to start my day with a firm and rhythmic bell, like a faithful friend.
This little alarm clock, standing beside my bed, has become an indispensable part of my life. Whether it is a towering building or a quiet countryside, it rings every morning on time. For a long time, I have developed a tacit understanding with it. The moment it began to work has become the starting point for countless mornings. With the ringing of the bell, the world around us is quietly waking up.
Sometimes, I have a silent battle with my alarm clock. It kept chirping, while I chose to stay on the soft bed and enjoy the short lazy time. Eventually, however, I always give in to its persistence, roll out of bed, and prepare for the challenges of the day. Moments like this also make me aware of the passage of time. From the slippers at your feet to the sound of washing and the smell of breakfast, everything is orderly and natural.
Not just early in the morning, but it reminds me when I need it. Important meetings, birthdays of relatives and friends, even daily to-do lists, the alarm clock is like an invisible thread that connects my life. Whenever I hear its voice, whether it is a pleasant expectation or an urgent warning, I can firmly grasp my direction in this river of time.
Of course, this dependence makes one wonder whether life really needs to be so precisely arranged. Maybe I should slow down from time to time and feel those delicate and beautiful moments in life. However, the existence of the alarm clock is part of the rhythm of life, reminding me to have a sense of responsibility and pursuit, and to keep moving towards the goal.
