Dear Shephend,

Do we really need love to flourish? I don’t know. When people are in love, they seem so blindly happy, but I’m not sure why. I guess nobody seems good enough for me, which is why I choose to be single.

Actually, the idea of singleness appeals to me more and more each day. Seeing people in love doesn’t hurt anymore. I can envision myself quite comfortable and happy by myself. Maybe, in the end, nobody needs anybody else to be happy.

I love how I can be chill around people every day. Also, it’s kind of amazing to focus on what’s on my to-do list. I didn’t finish this week’s running plan, but hanging out with friends and catching a glimpse of their lives is rewarding as well.

I see everybody is busy with their own lives. I don’t really need to worry about whether someone is spying on me or judging me. Being who I want to be is already amazing, and I do have so many wonderful plans for my life.

“What can I give to my tribe?” This is the lingering question recently, since I want to work on to gain more followers on Instagram.

——What can I do to benefit my tribe? Showing off how much weight I can lift? That’s not very inviting.

——Living a life well to benefit myself? Who bothers to care?

Maybe some words, some lines, some stories. Okay I’m just getting started on the way to influence others. But I’m not in a rush. I will figure that out.

Always remember that don’t try to convince others that what you’re doing is reasonable. We can do things that are impossible for anyone to understand, even if we ourselves don’t have full confidence in it. But if it’s a gut feeling, just trust it and give it a shot, even if that shot takes a while to hit the target or gets off tracked. What’s worse in life is there’s no target to aim for.

The important thing is that you let go of your bullet. Those who play it safe with their lives are boring. I don’t want a life like that. We have this life to conduct all the experiments, so why not dream bigger and act crazier? I trust myself to make all the decisions, and I’m not afraid of so-called responsibility or failure.
