All other affections are bittersweet

1. Anyone's confidence comes from a certain level of economic strength. If you're unhappy and can't even afford a drink, you don't even deserve to be depressed.

2. Sometimes, when you learn something unexpectedly, you pretend to be indifferent with a smile, but actually, you're feeling much more pain than you let on.

3. All loves besides romantic love are painful.

4. People should learn to be foolish. Knowing too much isn't always a good thing. The pain comes from discovering the truth; the coldness comes from exposing lies.

5. Some words hidden in your heart aren't meant to be concealed; they're just that not all pain can be shouted.

6. In this era of rampant romance, 'darling' is just a simple 'hello,' and inviting someone to dinner is just a 'thank you.' There's no need to take it so seriously.

7. Story beginning: I will give you happiness. Story ending: Wishing you happiness. Worrying leads to endless thoughts; if you don't care, you won't even think about it.

8. You try to take care of everyone's feelings, wanting to avoid upsetting those around you, and you're always the one left behind.

9. Some things only become clear after you do them. Some things, you only realize you're wrong after you've made a mistake. Some things, you only understand when you're grown up. Growing up means forcing yourself to be strong alone.
