Don't get too familiar with anyone too quickly. Don't assume that just because you have the same topics and a lot in common at the beginning, you are soulmates who met too late. Words are often false, but what we experience together is real.

You are not firm in life, not free and easy in feelings, worried about gains and losses, sensitive and suspicious, so you are so unhappy. Ten thousand beautiful futures are not worth a warm present. Every real present is the future we once imagined. May you fall in love with the present and dream of the future.

Don't please those who don't love you; don't disturb those who don't miss you; don't entangle those who don't love you; don't remember those who don't like you. For the rest of your life, love yourself well, don't waste your life, and don't owe others.

No matter which step you reach in life, there are people looking up at you from the bottom and people looking down at you from the top. You look up and feel inferior, and look down and feel satisfied. Only when you look straight can you see the real you.

No encounter is strong enough to make us not afraid of separation, but there is always a reunion waiting ahead that is worth our efforts.
