As time flows, we have laughed; through the changes of the world, we have experienced. We have endured the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and felt the pain of fate's depths and shallows. Life's journey is a constant rush, where we leap over obstacles and transcend hardships, maturing along the way with gratitude. We admire the spring flowers and watch the falling petals of a season, cherishing a moment of understanding. The journey is hurried, merely a pass through a mix of gain and loss. Let go of certain emotions, grant the soul a sense of ease, and let life sing along the way.
The path of life depends on our own step-by-step choices. What truly protects you is your own decision. Life is inherently composed of bitterness, sweetness, sourness, and spice; it cannot always be smooth sailing. There is no need to force things; leave some whitespace for yourself. Simplicity is the truth, and in detachment, we find the essence of life. Unmoved by praise or blame, we watch the flowers bloom and fall before the courtyard; indifferent to staying or leaving, we gaze at the clouds rolling and spreading in the sky.
One's most profound memories are often from childhood. At that time, there was no vanity, nor the need for deliberate decoration. We expressed ourselves with the most sincere and pure mindset, sketching the future with innocent and clean hearts. The budding heart brought hope and laughter, while the true self performed dreams and pride.
You think you know a person as they are, but after some time, you find they have become someone else. When you accept this new version, you suddenly realize they have changed into yet another form you do not recognize at all. In the end, you realize you don't truly know that person. In this era of material desires, a person should not only reshape their appearance but also their inner self.
