Thinking of My Old Dream Again
Translated from Chinese by Claude. Read the original
I still want to keep chasing my dream. I want to be free to do the things I want to do. I want to be able to roam the world on my own. I hope things around me get better. I hope life gets a bit better. Sometimes I’m really, really fed up, but I still have to put up with it. I used to not understand what it meant. Thinking about it now, it’s exactly right. Oh well. I recite it silently to myself.
If life deceives you, don’t be sad, don’t be anxious! On gloomy days, stay calm: believe that days of joy will come. The heart always lives in the future; the present is often gloomy. Everything is fleeting, everything will pass; and what has passed will become a fond memory.
