19. Foolish people always long to be understood by others.
20. Another year has come; I will give it my all this year. Even if I do not reach the shores of my original dreams, I will not give up; even if no one believes in me, I will never surrender to fate.
21. Who will walk with me? I truly desire someone to cherish deeply. Since being betrayed, I have been afraid to love. I am kind to everyone, but I wonder who will see my worth. I only wish for a stable, lifelong love.
22. As I begin to see things more clearly, I realize that life is very realistic, and growth is perhaps an inevitability.
23. The future is long; many people will be met and many things will happen. Keep going.
24. Since entering society, I have gradually lost myself. Struggling in a job I dislike and navigating a life of intrigue leaves me feeling lost and bewildered.
25. Last night, I asked the person I like about some matters, only to learn they already have someone they love. Knowing there was no chance, I chose not to confess.
26. Regarding love, perhaps we are all the same—proud yet anxious about loss, perhaps so used to this loneliness that we no longer feel sorrow.
27. I wonder if my youth has ended. Is youth only something found in school? Youth is my taboo; mentioning it brings an indescribable feeling.
28. One day, when I have figured it all out, perhaps you won't be so important. I'm afraid—at least for now, I foolishly believe you like me.
29. I realize now that the steadfast heart of my youth has grown calm, and life has become increasingly mundane. Yet, every day I must pretend to work hard, pretend to be strong, and pretend that I am fine on my own.
30. I seek nothing from others. Seeking a friend would wound my vanity; seeking an enemy would hurt my pride.
31. Life is like a great river, sometimes calm and sometimes turbulent. We must adjust our mindset and set goals based on reality, without being unrealistic. In the face of gain and loss, we should be optimistic, peaceful, and tolerant.
32. When a woman first finds someone in her heart, her emotions are complex: longing mixed with resentment, urgency mixed with shyness, and sweetness mixed with distress. Men often find it hard to grasp this mystery due to a lack of attention or patience.
33. The true meaning of education is to awaken the soul, ensuring it remains present in all scenes of life.
34. No matter how much a computer is upgraded, if I only use it for writing, many of its functions remain undeveloped. Is our life not the same?
