Humans naturally gravitate toward those they admire and avoid those they dislike.

Some opportunities are missed because of excuses, and some separations last a lifetime. Life is a forward journey; the scenery and hardships we encounter define our value.

In this life, listen to the wind and watch the rain. Love when there is love, and wait when there is none. View the world with a calm heart and live as an optimistic person doing good deeds.
During passionate love, couples feel blessed; after marriage, they may wonder about their fate. It is truly a contrast of fire and ice.

Keep your heart clean and orderly so that those who enter feel comfortable.
I apologize to my past selves for being so hard on you, for pushing you to grow and endure pain. But one day you will realize it was all for your sake. You have done well; keep believing in the future.
