Deep helplessness lingers, with a faint smile surfacing at the corner of my eyes. That face, which appears fearless, remains plain and wordless, never quite knowing how to express itself.
I am aware of the pressures and challenges ahead, yet I feel no fear, for I am bound by a promise I made to myself in my youth. Yes, I was once a boy.
Only by doing nothing does one find that time is already slipping away.
On the reflections of life: being single is an enlightenment, falling in love is often a mistake, breaking up is an awakening, and marriage can be an error; divorce is a realization, while remarrying without reflection is mere stubbornness. Those whose hearts are filled only with their own opinions and ideas can never hear the true voice of others.
View people with pure and quiet eyes, and you will avoid collision. Sound has no form or limit, and appearances are illusory; do not let them burden your heart. Accept pure sounds with quiet ears and absorb the good voices of the world with comprehensive listening. A single word carries the weight of a thousand. When words carry weight, trust gains substance; when trust has substance, it serves a great purpose.
Before anyone truly becomes strong, they must endure a period where no one helps and no one supports them. Everything is carried alone, and only they know their own emotions. But once they grit their teeth and push through, everything changes. You have made the effort, you have done your best, and only then do you have the right to complain about your luck. No matter who you are, no matter what you are going through, hold on. You will surely see your strongest self.
