Time always passes in haste. When we are busy with life, career, and relationships, we often meet too suddenly, stay together too briefly, and part too quickly. Time moves too fast, leaving us little opportunity to breathe or truly understand each other. So you do not understand me, and I do not blame you—we are simply defeated by time.
As we grow older, we gradually find our desires becoming fewer. We no longer deliberately please others or flatter anyone. We neither seek favors nor compromise ourselves unwillingly, nor do we engage in ingratiation. With the passage of time, the heart becomes richer and more grounded. It is time to return to our true selves and live according to our own way, no longer suppressing our nature for others.
Life is like a train journey, and each person is the conductor of their own train, watching passengers get on and off. We never know who will stay or who will leave. Amid endless expectations and waiting, we move from station to station. We once hoped the next stop would bring happiness, but in repeated anticipation we gradually lost our original direction and even became unlike ourselves. After missing one station after another, we now only wish to cherish the happiness of the present stop.
What is a myth? It is a man expressing love and heartfelt words to you. What is a legend? It is promises of everlasting devotion. What is a dream? It is being immersed in the sweetness of love and unable to wake up. What is self-deception? It is when the outcome is already clear, yet one continues to hypnotize oneself into disbelief.
Loving someone is like appreciating a landscape. Only when you know how to choose and stop constantly envying other views can you truly appreciate the most beautiful scenery in front of you.
Mountains may be high, but human desires can reach beyond the sky; the ocean may be vast, but human imagination is even more boundless. There is no one who cannot dream, only those who cannot act.
