Even now, you still think of him, knowing that this is your barrier. Everyone has their own.

You're no longer impatient. Walk the path you should with all your heart and repay the tears you've shed. You're no longer anxious. The deeper the feelings, the more you have to retreat step by step. The more difficult the barrier, the more patience you need to understand it.

Time will reveal the sincerity of a promise and help you distinguish between disguised selfishness and whether he's truly not the one who will make you happy.

Every time you look back, you grow. You will get through this barrier.

And when you do, promise yourself this: In the past, you didn't let him down. From now on, you will practice being true to yourself.
