Sometimes I choose silence, not because of unhappiness, but simply to find inner peace. The moment you learn to let go, your troubles will vanish. A poor mindset makes life feel aged; your heart defines who you are. What one fears most is not the weathering of the face, but the aging of the soul. Do not depend on others for financial help, for money is never enough for anyone. If a friend helps, it is an act of kindness and morality; if they do not, it is understandable, and you should not harbor resentment, as they owe you nothing. Remember, no one is obligated to help you when you are in need—only you can. Therefore, making yourself independent, strong, happy, and prosperous is your primary duty. After all, you are the only one who truly shares life and death with yourself. Many people simply drift away from our lives, and chasing them is futile. I eventually realized that those who left did so to make room for others, allowing them to coexist with me more comfortably. Thus, there is no need to question those who depart; they have simply become the "later ones" in someone else's world.
