I yearn for solitude, so even when close to others, I maintain a certain distance. I prefer quietness, traveling alone through life. I have grown accustomed to indifference, often sitting in silence. Perhaps because I desired too much, I ultimately lost much. After trying, amidst the disguise and following my own path, I have accumulated many words and feelings, longing to speak calmly, yet often struggling to find the starting words.
Emotion is a perception reflected by the senses, while love is the vibration of the soul. Love is the union of the two; to love someone is to be willing to give everything, even one's life. However, in today's materialistic world, many love out of loneliness or for material gain, making true love increasingly rare.
One can be ordinary but must not be vulgar; one can be philanthropic but must not be promiscuous; one can let go of pride but must not lose dignity; one can lose everything but must not lose faith in life. It is crucial to remain a person of integrity and strength.
True strength is often forged during those periods when no one is there to help or support you. You must carry all burdens alone and process all emotions internally. But if you grit your teeth and persevere, everything will change. Only after striving and giving your best can you claim bad luck. No matter who you are or what you are going through, hold on; you will eventually encounter your strongest self.
In love, you can be your authentic self, showing who you truly are so the other person can choose to stay. In marriage, however, adjustment is often required. If one refuses to adapt and insists on complete self-centeredness, the relationship may struggle to last.
