Youth is a long journey. We can never foresee its end, nor know exactly what lies ahead. It is a path of the unknown, long and winding, filled with both bitterness and joy. Bitterness is as dark and heavy as ink, devoid of light; joy is as refreshing as a cold cola after a long thirst. Along the way, there are beautiful landscapes and companions. We have walked together through storms, experiencing both reunion and separation. In the prime of youth, we possess strong bodies, agile minds, and graceful silhouettes, appearing before different people and things.
I wish to light my lamp. If it is destined to go out, I will still burn my light to adorn the brilliance of the night and illuminate my own splendor, along with the faint yellow hue beneath the scars. I am a kerosene lamp with only an inch of light, yet I aspire to illuminate the entire darkness. It is time to turn on the light, time to shine. The world cannot be without light, even if human life is as fragile as a lamp.
Sometimes, a single sentence from you can leave me reflecting for days; other times, a single sentence can disappoint me for days. This is what it means to care. I believe that in this world, some people, some events, and some loves are destined to bind us for a lifetime from the very first moment we meet, like a tree growing in the heart, forever and ever.
But dreams, a branch of elegance, the slanting sun sets on the water.
Flowers bloom on the path, yet they remain unseen; life is like a dream, how much joy can we find?
Going with the flow is a form of detachment and progress. It is the behavior of the wise, but an excuse for the foolish. 'Going with the flow' does not mean following blindly; it means accepting nature, without resentment, without rushing, without excess, and without forcing things. Life is like a mirror; if you smile at it, it will smile back. If you need a reason to live, smiling is certainly an important one. Tears cannot recover what is lost. Therefore, do not easily shed your pearls.
