I have walked a long way alone, experienced a lot, suffered a lot and shed a lot of tears, I am very willful, very stubborn, and I have not taken good care of myself, let alone become what my parents expect.

The wind is always strong on the road to growth, and I am alone, so it doesn't matter if I walk slowly. I prefer a life where no one cares about me to someone who is emotionally swayed. Over the years, I have taken a lot of wrong paths, but I have also understood a lot of truths, and I have quietly changed my character. It is said that being alone is the most conducive to thinking, and I have indeed thought a lot, figured out a lot, understood a lot of truths, seen a lot, saw a lot of things and people, let go of a lot, changed a lot, and did some things. You may be the loneliest when you're alone, but you're the most awake, so sober that you're scared.

Looking back, such a long road, so long time, people come and go, almost only myself has been with me, love or not is really not that important to me.

Of course, it's good to have a partner, but in the end, I found that every difficult moment was survived by myself, so it didn't hurt for me to be alone.

Having traveled so many roads and experienced so many hardships, I have come to understand that life is like a river, sometimes calm, sometimes turbulent, sometimes wide, sometimes narrow. I walked alone in this river, sometimes down the river, sometimes upstream. I've lost my way because I've lost my way, and I've been depressed because I've been stuck. However, all this made me realize more deeply that life is not all smooth sailing, but full of ups and downs.

I also understand that some people are destined to stay in my life, and some people show up just to teach me a lesson. Those who have been with me for a while, thank you for making me grow and make me strong. And those who have left my life, thank you for making me understand that not all of us will always be there.

I used to think that what I longed for was the recognition of others and the company of others. However, I now understand that what I need most is self-identity, self-acceptance. No matter what difficulties I have been through, no matter how long the road I have come, I have to have faith in myself and believe that I can overcome everything.

I look back at the past, and the things that once made me miserable and troubled now seem to be worth it. Because they have shaped me and made me stronger and more independent. I no longer need the affirmation of others to prove my worth, because I know that my worth is not something that others can define.

Now I am alone, but I am not alone. Because I know who I am, I know where I'm going, I know what I'm going to do. I no longer change myself to cater to others, nor do I wronged myself in order to please others. I live only for myself and only be myself.

I walked on this path with peace and anticipation in my heart. I have learned that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, I have the ability to face and solve them. I am no longer the one who needs to rely on others, but an independent, confident individual.

I learned to appreciate myself and accept my imperfections. I know that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and that's normal. I'm the same, even though I have a lot of shortcomings, I try to correct them and get better.

I also learned that life is not about perfection, but about inner peace and contentment. I no longer live to meet other people's expectations, but to live according to my own heart. I no longer need the affirmation of others to prove my worth, because I know that my worth is not something that others can define.

I continue to be on the path of growth, constantly exploring, learning and growing. I know that it is only through constant hard work and struggle that I can become who I want to be and live the life I want to live. I want to say to myself: you are unique, you have your own value and meaning. No matter how many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, you have the ability to face and solve them.

So believe in yourself and keep going?!
