The blog has been running smoothly for a year now, and the thought fills me with excitement! Reaching this one-year milestone, I look back at the journey with a flood of emotions and thoughts rushing in like waves. It’s a moment filled with reflection, and I pen this to mark the occasion.
I’ve been planning this article for a while, and as I drafted it, the title “The Long Dream” repeatedly came to mind. Life, after all, feels like a dream. I believe it symbolizes my reflections on life and my philosophical quest, while also mirroring the long journey that countless people embark on in pursuit of truth and the meaning of existence. Hello World
“Spring Trees, Evening Clouds” is more than just a blog, it’s a sanctuary for my soul. Since the end of 2022, I’ve been sharing my explorations and discoveries here with my readers. Through my writing, it’s clear that life is like an extended dream. Whether in high school, university, or stepping into society later on, we all build dreams and chase them at different stages. Pausing from time to time allows us to rethink, recalibrate, and help the humble me refocus on future explorations. Long dreams
Looking back, I’ve experienced both glory and humiliation, seems sometimes basked in spring breezes and sometimes weathered frost and snow. I understand now that life is a long and intricate journey. This is precisely why I hold myself to higher standards, to courageously follow my dreams and fearlessly break free from my cocoon. Don’t let uncertainty scare you, because it is uncertainty that awakens our deepest potential. Certainty and Uncertainty
As we clear away the fog of life, we’ll encounter countless questions and challenges. We will stumble and fall, get hurt, but we will also rise again. This, I believe, is the true essence of life—a great and authentic life requires facing trials and turbulence, for only through such struggles can miracles unfold. I imagine that even us smallest human beings, through writing, can create something grand and magnificent in our lives. Restart
This one-year anniversary marks only a new beginning for the blog, but my exploration and reflection are far from over. I will continue to face new challenges, embrace new opportunities, and gather new knowledge and experiences. I hope that after some time, I’ll return here with richer insights to share with you all once again.
Finally, I want to thank every reader of this blog. Your support and encouragement fuel my drive to move forward. Please remember, even though the blog updates may be sporadic, the exploration and reflection of the soul never cease. Let’s continue to follow this “Long Dream,” delving into the deeper philosophies of life. “Raise your glass to the east wind, and let’s face the future together with ease!”
Greetings from the bottom of my heart
