84. The most tragic thing in life is to live with the mindset of a 40-year-old at the age of 20. Thinking too much about the future can really make you live in the future. Do what you like at the moment, go on dates, travel afar. Don't overthink about the future, don't拼命追求所谓的安全感, don't live a 20-year-old's life with a 40-year-old's mindset. Live freely according to your own desires and lead the life you want.

87. 对整个世界而言，你不过一个人。而对某个人，你可能是整个世界，对不愿在你身上花费时间的人，千万不要为他们浪费时间。也许上帝希望我们在遇到有缘人之前，遭遇若干无缘之人，为的是最终得遇其人。

87. To the whole world, you are just one person. But to someone, you might be the whole world. Never waste your time on those who are unwilling to spend time with you. Perhaps God wants us to encounter several unrelated people before meeting the right one, so that we can ultimately find that person.

88. 我可以很久不和你联络，任日子一天天这么过，让自己忙碌可以当作借口，逃避想念你的种种软弱。——伍佰《被动》
