生活本不容易,面对生活中各种各样的问题,你会选择积极面对,解决问题,还是会选择逃避呢?
Life can be hard. And we often blame others when our plans don't work out. Sometimes we expect too much from friends and family, and when they don't act as we think, we feel upset. Maybe it would be better if we stop expecting too much from others.
For example, you want to travel before getting a degree. But your parents don't think so. It's perfect if they support your idea, but you can't keep everyone happy. It's your life and you need to be happy.
You don't need to be worried when someone isn't very nice to you, because there are plenty of people for you. They're called your friends. Spend time with them and avoid unkind people. And when friendship comes, you will easily find a special person. Always remember that there is someone for everyone.
