My girlfriend broke up after the graduate school entrance examination, and after three years, my annual salary was 500,000, and she came to me, and I said: Who are you?
Some things are destined in the dark. You may laugh and say that it's all fake, it's all a lie. But you will only understand if you have experienced it. Sometimes, life gives you a punch and you are left with nothing in an instant. However, just when you are almost about to forget about this past, she appears.
I'm an emotional writer, and today I'm going to tell a story about growth, love, and fate.
Three years ago, when I was still in my third year of college, my girlfriend Xiaoyun decided to go to graduate school. She is a smart and hardworking girl with her own plans for the future. However, the pressure of going to graduate school made her anxious, and the arguments between us increased. Eventually, after a heated argument, she proposed to break up.
I was sad, but I didn't keep it. I knew I couldn't give her the future she wanted, and she had her own ideals to pursue. In the days after the breakup, I tried to adjust myself and reflect on the relationship while preparing for the graduate school entrance examination.
Three years later, I finally got my wish to work for a large company. The salary is stable and the position is promoted quickly. My annual salary has reached 500,000. At this time, Xiao Yun suddenly found me.
She was much haggard and looked more mature than she had been three years ago. She apologized to me that she was too impulsive at the time and didn't handle the problem properly. I looked at her, and I had a lot of questions in my heart: Who are you, what do you want to do?
I asked her, "Who are you?" and she was stunned, obviously not expecting me to ask. I continued, "I can't think of any story between us, you were just a stranger to my past. ”
She cried, and so did I. I told her, "I'm grateful for the past experience, it has allowed me to grow and made me understand what true love is. However, the past cannot be changed. Now I just want to cherish the people and things in front of me. ”
We talked a lot and she said she had been waiting for me and she said she loved me. I told her, "I love you too." "But I know that this love is based on the past. We need to look forward and not be held back by the past.
This experience has taught me a truth: life is not merciful or harsh on you because of your past choices. It's going to keep moving forward, and you're going to have to follow it. Everyone has their own path to follow and their own destiny to face. The same goes for love. We need to be brave enough to face it, accept it, and cherish it.
The story doesn't end here. Although Xiao Yun and I can't go back to the intimate relationship we used to, we still keep in touch. We often eat, watch movies, and chat together. We share each other's lives and work, as well as our expectations and dreams for the future.
I'm starting to realize that true love isn't about being together all the time and never being apart. Instead, they silently care for each other, support each other, and encourage each other in their respective lives. True love is the warmth and memories when you are together, and the strength and courage when you are apart.
Of course, the process was not all smooth sailing. We have also encountered difficulties and setbacks, as well as disputes and disagreements. However, we all know how to tolerate, understand, and respect each other. Because we know: true love is not a perfect relationship that is never free of contradictions and conflicts, but the courage and determination to still choose to be together in the face of difficulties.
Now I'm no longer the ignorant junior I'm a college student. I have become a mature, sensible, responsible man. I've also learned: life doesn't stop moving forward because of your past, and it doesn't stop changing because of your future. What we have to do is to face it bravely, accept it, and cherish it. Only then can we truly grow and be happy.
So when Xiao Yun appeared in front of me again, I didn't run away, when she asked me "who are you", I didn't hesitate, when she told me that she loved me, I didn't back down, when she said that we face the future together, I didn't refuse. Because I know: this is life, this is love, this is the process of growing up.
Finally, I would like to say: life is like a journey, and we are all passing by. Some will accompany us through a journey, and some will accompany us through a lifetime. No matter what, we should cherish every person and thing we meet. Because that's life, that's life.
