Time relentlessly erodes memory, and humans are often involuntarily swept away by the chill of oblivion. The fading of memory is like a tide, difficult to control. Eventually, we may only retain some subtle and profound details, much like plants left behind from the Cretaceous period on Earth—a kind of relic. Yet, these details have their own definition and value of existence.
Life is essentially a process filled with regrets. As for the balance between gain and loss, only you truly understand the proportions and the state of your mind; others cannot truly comprehend. Since only you know your own heart clearly and know what you desire, do not violate your true feelings. Only by freeing yourself can you live happily.
Stop blaming everything on procrastination. Life is actually a continuous process of letting go: we let go of the carefree innocence of childhood to gain the hope of growth; we let go of the vibrant beauty of youth to acquire the wisdom of maturity; we let go of the sweetness of romance to exchange for the stability of family; we let go of the pleasant echoes of applause to gain inner peace.
Remember that you are a woman, and you should believe that you are the most beautiful girl. Then, try to forget the constraints of gender and avoid excessive external adornment. Beyond your appearance, you must possess temperament; you should know how to respect and love yourself, and never look down on yourself. Be kind, and let those you care about feel warmth.
Do not compete, and your heart will be tranquil; do not be angry, and your heart will be harmonious; do not complain, and your heart will be at ease. Life has its joys and sorrows; life has its ups and downs. Learn to wave your sleeve with composure. Optimism does not mean having no worries, but rather knowing how to be content. Life is never perfect; twists and turns are also part of the scenery. Once you see things clearly and understand them, that is perfection.
