It was late at night. The sky appeared as if ink had been
splashed across it, pitch black. Only a few gaps remained, revealing the
twinkling stars in the night sky.
Alone, I sat, accompanied by the endless night. Countless nights before, I would
hurriedly turn on all the lights, curling up in a corner of the bed. But now, I
could sit alone in the darkness, quietly listening to the ticking of the clock.
It had become a captivating melody, for in this darkness, there was no one else
to keep me company.
Is loneliness inevitable in one's life? Upon careful consideration, no one can

while they remained unaware of your feelings. Was it worth it? If you love
someone, why not speak up and let them know?" My friend understood that the
person was happy with their new partner and gradually found solace, slowly
forgetting and starting a life of their own, no longer allowing others to easily
sway their emotions.
One only knows if success is possible after attempting it. Those who are afraid
to take bold steps can only watch opportunities slip away without doing
anything. Such people are destined for failure. Only by making an effort,
striving and fighting, can success become a possibility.
Time is innocent, time is tranquil. It treats everyone equally, flowing
