“希望有一天, 我们都不会后悔曾经出现在 彼此的生命里, 不管怎样, 还是谢谢你, 从我的世界路过, 情出自愿, 事过无悔, 不谈亏欠, 不负遇见。”

Tôi hi vọng rằng một ngày nào đó, chúng ta sẽ không hối hận khi xuất hiện trong cuộc đời nhau. Bằng cách hay cách khác, dù sao cũng cảm ơn bạn, đã đi ngang qua thế giới của tôi, tự nguyện, không hối tiếc, không nợ nần, không gặp lại.

You can run, run, run away from a lot of things in life, but you can’t run away from yourself. And the key to happiness is to understand and accept who you are.

saying “i love you” is so freeing though, like your best friend does a silly dance in the parking lot so you say “i love you” or your partner says something rly dumb but it makes you laugh so you say “i love you” or one of your parents brings you some of the food they cooked so you say “i love you” it’s so freeing and pure and human so maybe we should say “i love you” a little more often

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.
