How could I address you, my friends, classmates or tutors?
My first trip in this foreign island is coming to an end, within half a month, together with you all. Two weeks later, you and me, we are going in our own direction to pursue our own dreams, to take our own road. Maybe by accident, I might meet you later in my life. Maybe this is the last chance for me to unfold my heart in blogs, and also the last chance for you to sit in front of your laptop, looking into my feelings hidden between the lines, among the words.
“Separation” is a bitter word, especially read in Chinese. So many beautiful poems and songs are depicting this kind of scenes that every time when it comes into our mind, we automatically associate it with bitter feelings full of tears and pity. Indeed it is not an enjoyable thing to witness my partners, who have been keeping company all along the way, to leave us.
But such is life.
No one can keep company with you all the way, even your parents or closest friends. Maybe we can study and play together today, but separation is doomed to come. As there is no such a thing as an endless meal, never is there a group that can stay together and together and forever. All stories must have an ending, no matter whether it’s happy or not. However, life is always to be continued, no matter whether it’s happy or not.
A friend walks into the way of your journey, leaves several footprints and then goes away. But do not stare at the footprints for too long, because more and more friends are coming into the journey of your life. You know they will one day eventually go away, but it doesn’t matter. What you can do is cherish today.
If I cherished every day, every minute, every second together with you, then I needn’t to be sorry at all when waving goodbye. If you cherished days with us, then no need to be sorrowful when parting. If you seize the day, then there would be no such a word as regret in the dictionary.
Since we have left the most elegant footprints in each other’s life path, since we have such a lot of memories to share, there is no point in burying ourselves in sorrow. Just put away our memory, and arrange package for tomorrow’s journey.
Cause this is the first day of the rest of my life, and the last day of my memory.

ReplyDeleteThe day hasn't arrived yet, why do you put it so early as if we would separate today? Almost all of us reveal the sadness and fear of separation in the last blog. Even so outgoing a girl--I, couldn't resist feeling sorrow...
ReplyDeleteAs a chinese saying goes that every good things must come to an end. The awesome university life is waiting for us. So give your best wishes to us.
ReplyDeleteTo meet and part is the norm of life; but, to meet again is the hope of life! So, cherish the beautiful memories, erase the unpleasant ones, and advance towards the future which is waiting for you with open arms.
ReplyDeleteCarpe diem is a long lasting theme. There is no need to regret since you have taken full advantage of time. Therefore you have every right to hope for the best in future.
