Keep Walking

After half a year, everything is finally kinda settled down.

A lot of things happened in the past six months. Quitting the job, becoming jobless and hopeless, encountering a turning point, struggling to adapt to it……

I often think, after so many difficulties, there’ll be nothing that could beat me down. It reminds me of the song Thank You For Hearing Me from Sinead O’Connor, which says “Thank you for tearing me apart, now I have a strong strong heart”. The more hardships we experience, the stronger we become. No matter what will happen in the future, I’ll face it with a smile and confidence, with the belief that everything can be conquered with my strong will and faith.

I’ve travelled to a lot of places. During these trips, I’ve seen a sprout growing out of a rock. I was striked by the strong will to survive, even from a small plant. The strongest thing in the world is not the rock or stone, but our willpower to survive.

There are other hundreds of difficulties ahead, while I’ll march forward fearlessly with a peaceful mind that could empower me, and with gratitude from those who lent me a hand when I was in difficulty.
