Living in Fate, Not Clinging
Whether male or female, never desperately seek marriage, for everything in this world follows the law of cause and effect. What is meant to be yours will eventually arrive; what is not meant for you will only deplete your energy. Believe that when a debt of kindness is owed to you, someone who cherishes you dearly will appear. Without greed, there are gifts; with heavy expectations, there are only losses. Hope for the attainable, wait for the possible, listen, observe, and go with the flow. Walk forward with composure.

Better Alone than Exhausted
"I’d Rather Be Alone and Quiet Than Tired of Being with Someone Else" We aren't afraid of loneliness; we are afraid of entrusting ourselves to someone who doesn't appreciate us. At certain stages of life, what matters more than mere companionship is the feeling of comfortable peace. If a relationship requires you to constantly suppress your needs, pretend everything is fine, and work tirelessly to please someone else just to receive a spark of positive energy, then you are better off alone.
