To Myself: Reaching an Age Where You Can't Afford to Play
Time is like a kaleidoscope, allowing us to see countless facets of the world. Time is like a testing stone, helping us discern truth, goodness, and beauty from falsehood and evil. Time is like a textbook, enabling us to witness the vicissitudes of life. Time is like a treasure chest, letting us fully appreciate the happiness of life.
Walking and walking, I've reached an age where it's no longer fun.
Walking and walking, I realized, I stopped being good to everyone; I only responded to kindness with kindness.
Walking and walking, I understood that not everyone will develop feelings with you, but they will surely be able to see through people's hearts.
Walking and walking, I realized that no one will always tolerate and forgive you like your parents.
Walking and walking, I was afraid, because as I get older, more and more relatives and friends leave us. Life is fleeting!
Walking and walking, I was fearful, because one wrong move could result in serious injuries. I was afraid of the pain of countless scars!
Walking and walking, I transformed, stubbornly bearing all my pain and suffering; I became resilient, like a cactus, able to thrive anywhere.
Walking and walking, I realized, I was no longer so rigid; I no longer clung so tightly to some beliefs.
Walking and walking, I learned to let go of everything that should be let go.
Walking and walking, I matured, able to overlook many things I previously disapproved of.
Walking and walking, I became lucid, realizing that not everyone is willing to accompany you through every hardship.
Walking and walking, I saw that sometimes you have to follow the course of fate, but you shouldn't force things when they don't align.
Walking and walking, I realized that I shouldn't envy others; I should be content with my own life.
Happiness isn't about how big your house is, it's about what's inside the house.Laughter
Happiness isn't about how fancy your car is, it's about...Peace
Happiness isn't about how much money you have, it's about...Freedom
Happiness isn't about how beautiful your lover is, it's about...Kindness
Happiness isn't about how high a position you hold, it's about...Good health
Happiness isn't about celebrating your successes with cheers, it's about having someone say to you in times of failure: 'Friend, keep going!'Happiness isn't about sweet words, it's about having someone say to you when you're sad and crying: 'It's okay, I'm here for you…'
