There are always so many things you can't help but face.

    When you're physically exhausted, you can put down your work, take a few days off, and find a place where no one knows you to relax. But what about when your mind is tired? We should learn to adjust, to protect it!

   After graduating from junior high, I faced the unavoidable choice of high school. Then, after graduating from high school, I faced the unavoidable choice of university. Now, I'm facing the unavoidable choice of job after graduating from university! Everything seems to be going smoothly, but I know best the exhaustion in my heart! If I do well on the high school entrance exam, I don't need to choose a high school; if I do well on the college entrance exam, I don't need to choose a major or university; if I have good professional skills, I don't need to choose a job after graduation. However, none of this applies to me! Because I'm not the kind of person adults see: "Look at other people's kids!" I'm just me, someone who's neither outstanding nor excellent!

   I always thought this was finally over, that I wouldn't have to worry anymore, but the next choice arrives as scheduled! Sometimes I really feel, why do we have to make choices? Why do I feel so tired inside? But then I think: maybe many others feel the same way when I think this way! Everyone has a dream, and mine is to do what I love, do what I love, eat what I love, and dream what I love! But I've been dragged into this chaotic world, to experience the harsh realities of life, to feel the coldness and warmth of human relationships, to brush past others' lives, and to listen to their legendary stories!

   I once heard someone say: "Do what's right for you at the right age, and don't do things you shouldn't be doing at the age when you should be learning." My father once said something I've always remembered: "You only have so much time to go to school. The rest of your life will be spent working. You can earn a lot of money in the future, but the time you spend in school is something you can't buy back with any amount of money. Whether you study or not is your decision. If you study, I'll support you; if you don't, you'll have to walk your own path!" "Although it was blunt, it was very beneficial! I might be able to go back to school later, but the age will be different, and the feeling of studying will be different. I'm glad I chose to go to school out of necessity.

   Now I'm working, but I've faced another difficult choice. Fortunately, I heard something I wouldn't have considered before: 'The time you have isn't long, but it's not short either, because there are so many rising stars. If you don't have any skills, you'll be quickly eliminated by this world!'" "I'm grateful. The saying goes, 'Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.' Others' advice and words may not be pleasant to hear, but they are the most direct and insightful! This helps me avoid some detours!

   Everyone needs to experience the trials and tribulations of society to more clearly pursue what they want, and to more objectively understand how cruel society is and how resilient you are. The more setbacks

   you face, the stronger you become—it's short but easy to understand. If you have a dream, you have no fear of the heavens! Although there will always be many unavoidable obstacles waiting for you, overcoming one raises your level. Once you've overcome them all, you can fight monsters, live the life you want, and become the boss in other people's lives. Let others defeat you! So a bright tomorrow is always waiting for you, even though you never know how many tomorrows there will be. In short, there is always hope!"

A dream separates us, and a wall separates us from our hearts.
