我曾经的梦想仿佛在遥远的天边闪烁，成真之前，它总是那么难以触及。记得那些深夜，我无法入睡的人们，他们或许是在逃避生活中的某些不易，或是寻找黑夜中解开心结的力量。而我们，生来就已经哭够了，但又不得不活着前行。因此，我们 shouldn't waste our time on despair; instead, let's believe in ourselves, embrace solitude, love and hate, and venture forth to chase our dreams. As the famous words of郭敬明 go: "You must believe that there will be no unattainable tomorrow."

For me, growing up without a clear dream didn't mean I was aimless. I simply wandered through life without questioning the distance ahead. My greatest hope was to become someone capable of protecting those dear to me, earning the respect of my friends, and providing for my family.

Life is about recognizing one's own value and potential as well as understanding what one should strive for. This wisdom resonates with me deeply.

I recall a conversation with my father where he emphasized the importance of following one's heart. He encouraged me to pursue literature because it brought me joy; however, I hesitated due to fear of failure or not being good enough.

As I grew older and wiser, I began to appreciate the beauty in solitude—the freedom from unnecessary burdens and relationships that only lead to negativity.

In many cases we overestimate others' influence over us while underestimating their capacity for hurtful behavior. It is essential not just for them but also for us—those who tend to absorb all anger directed towards us out of pity or affection—that we learn when it is necessary—and how—to set boundaries.

Traveling isn't always about moving outward; sometimes it means exploring within oneself—seeking answers in silence like an explorer venturing into unknown territories both physically and mentally.

Time has taught me that age brings maturity but at a cost: our dreams lose their lightness. We begin weighing life more heavily than ever before—a balance between seeking fruit rather than flowers.

Many connections don't require closeness every day; friendship doesn’t demand constant interaction or exchanging secrets via private messages or adding each other on social media platforms lest these shallow acquaintances turn sour due proximity breeding contempt instead of respect by default—a truth eloquently put by Cai Kangyong (蔡康永): "A dirty mirror won't make you think your face is dirty."

To have the liberty to be myself unapologetically with courage enough not just tolerate but embrace this self-expression—this freedom defines true strength according to my own beliefs.

The elegance lies not in flaunting possessions but in confidence free from insecurities—a quality embodied by refined women who find joy within themselves rather than competing against others.

Chasing dreams alone can be lonely until you realize there are kindred spirits lost amidst city lights singing into empty nights till dawn—their stories echoing within your soul though they remain unseen yet understood.

Success demands friends while colossal achievements need adversaries—these opposing forces fuel progress despite adversarial feelings festering beneath surface-level camaraderie.

And so we journey through time surrounded by moments such as these—a dance between reaching forward toward aspirations while embracing lessons learned along untrodden paths leading toward personal growth and ultimately realizing our deepest desires even if they seem far away now...
