The clearest footprints are often left on the most muddy roads. Marriage is like a pair of shoes; no matter the style, fitting well is what matters most. No matter the fate, harmony is the most beautiful aspect. Do not merely covet the luxury of the shoes at the expense of your own feet. Others look at the shoes, but you feel the feet. The feet are more important than the shoes—a truth often forgotten by many.
Facing the past, there may have been a beautiful encounter and a cliché farewell. One might be afraid to look at old photos, recall happy times, or show loneliness before loved ones. All of this stems from a past meeting. When you believe in your own ability and face challenges head-on, you will eventually find that difficulties are not insurmountable. What others can do, you can do too.
There is a type of person who appears flirty but is actually loyal, seemingly strong but actually fragile, smiling while hiding unseen sorrow. They appear carefree on the surface but are delicate and sensitive inside. They fear loneliness, habitually record their emotions in writing, and waver between giving up and persisting. If you understand and love them, please cherish them.
Life does not require excessive expectations; sometimes a cup of tea and a lamp are enough. We often exile ourselves from the worldly noise, like a fish stranded on the beach. Though not eloquent, they achieve a beautiful life through brief yet profound memories. If there is a next life, let us meet lightly, free of past burdens, like flowers meeting rain and lotus buds encountering dew, so that we never miss or hurt again.
Associate with sunny people, and your heart will not be gloomy. Walk with happy people, and your smile will be constant. Keep company with ambitious people, and your actions will not lag behind. Interact with generous people, and your dealings will not be petty. Stay with wise people, and you will not be confused in trouble. Work with steady people, and your actions will not be impulsive. Learn from the best of others, and be the best version of yourself.
Love that withstands tests is true love. One yearns for two people who can hold hands together after the storms of life have passed, for love that remains alive after being washed by the sands of time. No longer frivolous or impetuous, I yearn to be a partner worthy of reliance.
Watching the seasons cycle, flowers bloom and fall, and people change, everything evolves rapidly. Many people act with decisive speed, but love must be integrated into life to be complete. We may have forgotten the passionate oaths of the past and the romantic idealism detached from reality. There are many reasons for not loving: being busy, tired, incompatible, distant, etc. But the expression of love has only one form: I just want to be with you.
Even the most beautiful love is mixed with sorrow, and even the most tragic stories have an end. If you are destined to love someone, you must be prepared to be hurt. Old memories are like the river surface reflecting the sunset; pick out the bright spots and store them in your heart. When love is absent, learn to live your own life and love yourself well. Accepting yourself brings happiness. Strive to progress; even without love, you at least have career and dignity. Learn to be潇洒 (carefree/dashing), because money and things will slip away, and there is nothing in our hands that can be possessed forever.
Those who see things through see vitality everywhere; those who do not see through them see obstacles everywhere. Those who can take on responsibility see duty everywhere; those who cannot see negligence everywhere. Those who can let go see the great path everywhere; those who cannot see a dead end everywhere. Those who can think open-mindedly see spring everywhere; those who cannot see wither everywhere. The choice of who to be lies with you; the choice of how to live lies with you too.
Rise early every day, hold the greatest hope, make the best effort, make the worst plans, and maintain the best attitude. Remember what should be remembered, forget what should be forgotten, change what can be changed, and accept what is already a fact. The sun is always new, and every day is a good day.
The hardest thing in the world is to control your mouth. Whether it is what goes in or what comes out, it must be restrained. The most important thing is to satisfy yourself. Blindly listening to others and acting according to their thoughts will ultimately cause you to suffer.
