Have you ever fallen out of love? At that time, did you feel that you would never love again and never be loved again? You thought you would never get out of the shadow of lost love, but now you, and then mention the person you loved, whether from hysteria to light-hearted?

Yesterday, I saw Amin in my circle of friends with a new boyfriend's photo. In the photo, she was glowing, smiling like a flower. I looked at the photo and couldn't help but think of the girl who said she would never fall in love again two years ago.

Amin and her ex-boyfriend survived the graduation breakup season, went through a difficult career period, survived the last hurdle of parents, and were close to a good thing, but her boyfriend's ex suddenly changed his mind, so her boyfriend ruthlessly broke up with her.

At that time, Min seemed to be no different from normal people during the day, barely holding up a wounded heart, with colleagues still laughing, teasing, and joking, but at night, alone in the room crying, heartbroken. At that time, she felt as if she had reached the end of her life, thinking that the person she loved most no longer loved her, her heart was empty and she did not know how to place it.

But looking at Amin's current state, I finally know that the most painful thing in life is not anyone to love, but the loss of the ability to love. No matter how deeply you have been hurt, you always have to believe that there will be someone in your life who will appear and let you forgive all the difficulties life has caused you before.

The day before yesterday, we passed by a property with Sasha, who pointed to a house against the highway and proudly said to me, "Look at the 12th floor of that building, which will be my home from now on."

I looked at her in surprise, and then could not help but admire this girl from the bottom of my heart.

I remember a few years ago, Sasha was the one who had to move every three months with her suitcase at all times. At that time, Sasha just arrived in Chengdu, with no foothold, work is also just starting, is living a tight life, she rented a house is the cheapest - of course, living in such a house, there must be many problems. A 70-square-foot house is partitioned out into a dozen rooms, and at night other roommates play cards and drink, chatting and catching up on the drama, the sound is so loud that people can not sleep. Sometimes we meet roommates who do not like hygiene, the garbage in front of the door for four or five days without throwing, the hot summer, the room stinks to high heaven, not to mention how uncomfortable.

Once, the landlord kicked her out less than half a month after she moved in. It was a cold and windy night, she packed up her things alone, packed up and left, then found an all-night fast food restaurant, asked for a cup of coffee, and just lasted the night.

Sasha said that was the most desperate moment in her life. She was wondering if she would live this kind of wandering life for the rest of her life and if there was no way to continue to pursue her dream here. When she thought of the sad place, she cried, and even withdrew, thinking that she should go back home. But in the end, she gritted her teeth and came through, turning her life around with solid efforts and tenacity.

Anyone will have difficult moments, when you feel the world is going to collapse but no one can help you, you may not realize that the only person who can help you is yourself. Sometimes you find that gnashing of teeth and a stomp of the foot is another day, and then all the difficulties become a passing cloud. Those who have walked and suffered will eventually make a better you.

I remember the most desperate moment I ever had was when my grandmother died. At that time, I thought that no one in the world would ever love me again, I was like the grass on the roadside swaying in the wind, with no one to rely on. On the day of my grandmother's funeral, I cried so loudly that for the first time in my life I felt the sky spinning and almost fainted.

During that time, the already thin and weak me lost 8 pounds a month. I couldn't eat, or sleep well, the whole person is such a lost of the main backbone.

Later, I came through step by step with the pain, and every year when I think of my deceased grandmother again, my heart will ache and tears will flow. But after the sadness, I know how to comfort myself, and everything to look forward to. After all, the greatest comfort to my loved ones is to live a good life for myself.

In "The Four Teachings of the Buddha", it is written: "The former things are like yesterday's death. The future is like being born today.

No matter what kind of difficulties you are facing, even if you are at the end of your rope, you still have to believe that there will be a brighter day.

In your life, you will always encounter difficulties, big and small. In your most disappointing moments, you may even feel that everything around you is working against you.

The writer Eileen Lee once said that the tears shed, become a river to ferry you; suffered, to light up your way forward.

Don't be upset with the past, because it has passed; don't be upset with reality, because you have to live on. Don't fight with others, don't fight with yourself, where there are shadows, there will be sunshine.

The most important thing is to do what you want to do, and love the people you love the most, no matter what you have encountered and what you are going through now, you must believe that there is no hurdle that you cannot overcome, only a heart that refuses to get better. All the tough times will eventually pass.
