Growing increasingly silent and less inclined to speak, I have realized that among the many who come and go in life, few truly enter one's heart.
Some things cannot be understood through their surface, and some emotions expressed in words are not necessarily what is felt in the heart.
When we were young and hot-headed, being bullied made us determined to achieve greatness to prove others wrong. Yet, when that day finally arrives, we find that the resentment has simply faded away.
In life, it is better to be with interesting people. More fulfilling than wealth and status is the silent understanding and warmth between two people, which grows richer with time.
No matter how beautiful a love is, if one person leaves, the other need not spend a lifetime reminiscing. He has his blue sea, and you have your blue sky; since you can no longer lean on each other, there is no need for lingering debts of the heart.
From being overly emotional over trivial matters to learning composure, you have learned what is not worth it; from weeping for sympathy to embracing stillness, you have learned the meaning of silence.
Life is inherently difficult, so there is no need to crave understanding or validation from everyone; simply live your own life quietly. If the heart remains undisturbed, how can the wind bother it? If you remain unhurt, the years will pass in peace.
