When you no longer believe in love, stop and wait quietly. Let the next love come naturally and show you what love truly is.

When you no longer dare to trust people, first live well with yourself. Listen to what kind of person you truly need to build a better life.

You are no longer impatient, nor do you want to skip the necessary steps in love.

In love, "thinking things through" is more important than giving; "choosing" is more important than effort. Only those who see your uniqueness from the beginning will truly cherish you.

In every heartbreak, you don't see loss, but a transformed, better version of yourself.

Those who make you feel increasingly vulnerable, simple, and transparent are not worth your love. Only those who make you brave can bring you true happiness.

You will save your best self for the one who truly understands you in the end.

Thank you for reading!
