Time slips away quietly, and before we know it, we have grown up. Every time we muster the courage to forge ahead, life seems to throw us a curveball.
Now, as you set sail on your own journeys, I can only offer my silent blessings from afar.
I often promise myself that I will work hard to become strong enough to protect everyone who cares for me. Yet, the truth is, in their eyes, I will always be just a child. When my sister is troubled by her business, I long to help ease her worries, but I find myself unable to do anything, unable to even offer comforting words, so I can only step aside to avoid being a burden. When my brother struggles with financial burdens, I wish I had the ability to earn my own way instead of relying on our parents. When they are busy with the toil of daily life, I can only watch helplessly. When friends are heartbroken, I remain powerless to help.
I once resented the unfairness of fate, but to no avail; life goes on.
Perhaps I am not hardworking enough. Perhaps I am not strong enough.
