Pursue your dreams, forge ahead, and live the life you desire. Life is half memory and half continuation. In the brief span of decades, the most important thing is to satisfy yourself. Do not wait for those you shouldn't wait for, and do not hurt hearts that shouldn't be hurt. Some people are destined to be mere passersby in our lives; some matters often leave us feeling helpless. Instead of crying with sorrow, face it with composure. When you love, let them be free; when you no longer love, let love be free.
Human relationships are always intricate and complex. Encounters in life are not fixed destinies but are full of uncertainty. On the path of life, the road is never smooth. You will encounter various hurdles with nowhere to hide, for there is no going back in life—only facing forward.
You search desperately for love when you have none, and fret deeply when you possess it. You are gently crushed by the pulse of love, only to be drunk by the wine it brews.
A peaceful person holds passion without affectation and loyalty without hypocrisy. They do not see themselves inwardly nor judge others outwardly. They extend kindness from sincerity, not to use others to buy reputation. They believe that 'a gentleman is calm and open, while a petty person is always anxious,' acting with integrity and purity of heart.
Sometimes life forces you to give up opportunities, or even abandon love. You cannot have everything. Life teaches us the art of letting go.
Friends around us drift away due to differing aspirations and lifestyle choices, and friendships are stranded in reality, which causes us regret. However, time can fade everything but cannot erase the marks of the happiness we once shared, which brings us consolation.
When fantasy faces reality, it is always painful. Either you are crushed by the pain, or you trample it underfoot.
