Life is always full of fragments of memories. Those green years and those confused times seem to be left behind with the passage of time. We can’t look back, we can only look back on the past one day in the future and see the marks that have been left in our hearts. Everyone’s story seems to be like countless intertwined fragments, fragmented but real. And time, as if it is the only witness, it takes away everything, but leaves some unknown traces.
I often wonder, isn’t life a game of constant forgetting and remembering? Some memories, we are powerless to erase; some pains, we can only learn to coexist with them. When we face these reluctant memories, there is still a subtle force in our hearts that keeps us moving forward. Life is often not a story full of glory, it is more about some trivial details and ordinary daily life.
In this city, I have walked through countless streets and met all kinds of people. Some people passed by, never remembering their names, but their faces always seemed to emerge at a certain moment. Perhaps, every encounter and parting in life is a plot that fate has already arranged. All the dreams and expectations that we once believed in can only become stories in the torrent of time.
Choice and regret are the eternal themes of life
Everyone will have a few decisive choices in his life. Whether it is marriage, work, or interpersonal relationships, they are all decisions we make at some point. However, these decisions often do not always bring the expected results. You may have chosen a path with full confidence, but in the end, you find that you are not happy.
I often wonder how important choice is? Some people choose a relationship, but in countless sleepless nights, they repeatedly question their original decision. There are also some people who, facing the departure of the person they once loved, have to ask themselves in their hearts, should they choose to persist or let go? Every choice will make us pay a price, perhaps time, perhaps feelings, or even a part of our soul.
However, regret may be the most powerless emotion in life. You can’t go back to the past and you can’t start over again. Behind every decision, there are too many unknown factors and unpredictable future. You can’t change the past, you can only learn to live in peace with it. Everything in the past, whether success or failure, has become history. They become our motivation to move forward, or a hindrance, or a relief.
Between family affection and love, we always hesitate
The most complicated part of life may be to find a balance between family affection and love. Each of us is constantly maturing and growing, and the companions along the way are often those closest to us. Parents, friends, lovers, everyone influences our choices and decisions to some extent.
Family affection is always so warm and silent. It doesn’t need too many words, but it is always the strongest backing. Parents have given us too much, but they have never received too much in return. In the process of growing up, we seem to have been constantly asking and asking, but we don’t realize that the family affection we have given for us is the most selfless. You didn’t know how to cherish it before, but now you will find that those subtle cares are the most worth remembering.
Love is always so confusing. It is a pursuit and a loss. You thought you had found the person who could go to the end, but the complexity of life eventually made you realize that love is not simply two people accompanying each other for life. It is the determination of two hearts to continue after countless collisions and frictions. How many people lost themselves on the road of love, and finally realized that true love is not possession, but learning to leave indelible marks in each other’s lives.
Once, I also longed for a sincere love and a soul mate. However, after experiencing disappointment and miss again and again, I gradually realized that love is not everything. Those beautiful things that I once pursued can only become an extremely precious memory. And family affection is always the kind of warmth that does not need to be explained.
From the pain of the past, I learned tolerance and understanding
Every pain in life is an opportunity to grow. After experiencing those broken and lost things, you will find that you have become more resilient. You are no longer easily defeated by the predicament in front of you, nor are you easily lost because of the ups and downs of an emotion. Pain, it is sometimes a part of life, but it cannot determine your future path.
Tolerance and understanding are the most difficult lessons to learn in life. We always look for our own lessons in mistakes and struggle to survive in difficult situations. However, the most important thing is not how to avoid hurt, but how to get out of hurt. Only after experiencing loss and pain can you truly understand the meaning of life and learn how to love, tolerate and understand.
I have been hurt and hurt others. At that time, I thought everything was for myself and ignored the feelings of others. It was not until I was hurt myself and until I learned to reflect that I realized that every decision in life not only affects myself, but also others. Learning to understand others and learning to let go of the past that cannot be changed is the only way to maturity.
The inevitable misses in life have become our deepest memories
Some misses seem to have been arranged by fate. You think you still have time, but you find that the pace of time has quietly gone away. Those missed opportunities and missed people seem to have become blanks in your life. When you look back, you will understand that those missed ones are the deepest memories.
Every missed opportunity in life makes us cherish the present more. Those unfulfilled wishes, unfinished love, and unrealized dreams will become the eternal regret in our lives at some point. Regret does not mean failure, but makes us more clear about what we are pursuing.
