More Than Just Words
More than sweet words, I cherish the people who are willing to show up for me. The depth of a relationship isn’t determined by how many times we say, “Let’s meet up another day.” Those seemingly warm words often go unfulfilled. Instead, it is the friend you don’t contact often, or even someone who lives far away, who quietly drives over the moment you say, “I’m a little tired lately.”

The Strength of a Boundary
When you need to express your anger, don’t hold back. I am usually humble, but I still have my moments of fury. Of course, a normally mild-mannered person can be quite surprising when they lose their temper. Some might say, "So your usual nice persona was just an act." Others might be shocked, realizing, "So you're not someone to be trifled with after all," and may begin to maintain a healthy distance in future interactions.

To My Dearest Girl
To my dearest girl: In this world, there is no rush to find a partner. There is no need to rush into a relationship or give your heart away. Entrusting your life to yourself is more stable and reassuring than entrusting it to anyone else.
