Cherish all the unanticipated encounters, look down on all the unspoken goodbyes

Cherish the people who love you

The one that comes will always come, and the one that goes cannot be retained. The vows and alliances that were once made have since become a thing of the past.

Perhaps we were naive enough to think that those promises would not change and that the heart was real. Everything is just "I thought".

How many true words are there in this world? Some of the words may be true when they are said, but they have been said and they have passed. Some people are still as good as each other one day, the next day may be a different side of the world.

Once, we broke our hearts and tears for those who left without saying goodbye but later found that it was just punishing ourselves with someone else's mistakes.

He disappeared from your world, he felt nothing, and you cried your heart out. His departure wasn't your fault at all, so what reason to cry? It's simply not worth it, except for the redness of both eyes, the whole person's vicissitudes, you have nothing.

Usually, when adding a friend will prompt: someone to add you as a friend, but when someone removes you as a friend, the other party needs to determine whether to delete you. And you don't receive any indication that you've been deleted, or when you happen to send him a message only to find out that you've long since ceased to be friends.

If one day you send a message to someone and find: that the message has been sent, but the other party has rejected it, or the other party has turned on verification, please add the other party as a friend.

This time you should feel grateful, not question why he did this, or even help others to find a variety of reasons and excuses, which is just your self-deception.

The first thing you need to do is to get to know each other.

The first thing you need to do is to get rid of the problem. The people who stay behind will always think that one day the person who left will come back.

But what is the truth? The truth is that those who stay behind end up in defeat. Spending youth to wait, but spend the rest of your life healing.

If you decide to leave, why do you need to embrace each other?

If you think it's a mistake to begin with, why bother with it in the first place?

If you just have a moment, then please don't bother me, I don't have that much time or energy to act with you.

You are like a mischievous child thrown into the lake like a stone into his world, perhaps you are the stone, just into the lake, you had stirred up ripple sea flowers, it is very beautiful, very beautiful. However, beautiful things always disappear too quickly, just like a tornado.

When the stone sinks into the heart of the lake it is nowhere to be found, becoming perennially cold. Although the stone still lives in the heart of the lake, it just lives there, and nothing else exists anymore.

You and he, is not as the stone and the lake water? Not only you and him but also many others.

03.

You will meet a lot of people in your life, and any person who comes into your life has a special meaning. Or to help you grow, or to accompany you to never part, or ...... in short, each person's arrival has his value.

That year, you came into my world and brought me a lot of happiness, so that my life is no longer dull and uninteresting.

The day you disappeared from my world, let me look down on the life of the gathering and separation, from then on the face of parting can be like water.

You want to come, I do not stop, because I can not stop; you want to go, I do not stay, because it is meaningless.

If we can change the world to stay or go, then how can so many people be hurt, how can there be so many regrets?

If you come, I will welcome you with open arms, whether out of courtesy or out of sincerity.

If you leave, I won't see you off, because I don't want you to go away alone, and I don't want to be left alone to pick up the pieces.

In this life, meeting you in the middle of a sea of people is already very good. If you have to go, there are no regrets.

Every person who comes into our lives, deep or shallow, more or less, good or bad, will leave us with a touch of indelible memories. Regardless of whether they eventually leave or stay, it has its unique meaning.

Some people, as "A Thousand Years a Sigh" says: "Your past is too late for me to participate, your future I will accompany to the end". He is not the first to appear, but to accompany you to the end.

However, some people are "your life, I only lend a ride". The first thing you need to do is to get into your life and then disappear.

No matter how it ends, we should learn to cherish all the unexpected encounters and look down on all the goodbyes.

As a favorite phrase: "I'm glad to know you, not sorry you left".
