When it rains, you will know who will give you an umbrella.

Only when something goes wrong do you truly understand who is sincere to you.

Some people will only add icing on the cake but will never offer help when needed.

Others will add fuel to the fire, failing to be honest or supportive.

No matter how beautiful your words are, they are meaningless if you don’t keep your promises.

No matter how strong a friendship is, it is in vain if you don’t know how to cherish it.

True love empowers your life,

Gives you the courage to overcome challenges,

And makes you a warmer person.

It should not make you hysterical or submissive,

Nor should it leave you questioning your self-worth.

If being with someone makes your life worse,

If they neglect your emotions and drain your energy,

Then please believe that this person is not your true match.

Sometimes, you must endure a painful relationship,

But after passing this test, you will awaken.

You will realize it doesn’t matter whether others love you or not.

The most important thing is whether you love yourself.

Love yourself wholeheartedly, and love others with moderation.

Life is woven by fate, warmed by love, and lost without appreciation.

There is someone out there who truly understands you and is waiting for you.

Life is short, and such connections are rare.

You may not meet them in another lifetime.

So, if you find them, cherish them deeply.

Thank you for reading!
