When the going get tough, I need a hug!

[JoannaJourney]

Today 8th June happened to be one of my ex-bf and another good friend birthday but both of them passed away already. One in 2022 and one in 2012.

These few years have been tough for me, be it health, relationship, financial and work but as long still alive and breathing, must feel very grateful already.

Recently saw a very meaningful message dedicate to "old self", wish to share it with whoever having struggles and obstacles in life now, 一起共勉之，要坚强，加油！


"To my old self,
I'm sorry for allowing people to hurt you so many times. I'm sorry for all the wrong decisions that you've made because you were not wise enough before. I hope you'll learn to forgive yourself someday. I hope you'll heal from all your trauma. And I hope you've learned from all the mistakes that you've made in your past.
Someday, I hope you'll learn to love yourself after all the heartbreaks that you've been through. I know sometimes it's hard to forget the painful things that happened to you, but it takes time to heal. I hope one day you'll learn to find your worth again. You were too hard on yourself and you forgot that you are worth it too. One day, I hope you find the happiness that you always deserve.
I want you to know that your past mistakes and traumas doesn't define who you are. You are more than your wounds and scars. You are more than the number of your heartbreaks. And I hope you always remember that I am so proud of you for being brave enough to stay alive. You are loved, and you are always enough."

我可以吗？ 您没事吧？

[JoannaJourney]

短短两年进了三次医院，生命真的好脆弱。希望身体能慢慢变健康，而不是变得更糟糕。这次的不同是医生说可能 是白血病，在医院自己紧张和害怕了几天，后来就让我出院了。当时很煎熬，但我没有任何人可以分享，只有自己 承担，有点可怜。在很年轻的时候，曾经有算命老师问我，打仗带谁去，我想了一下，直觉就说自己去。当时不知 道这段话的意义，经过这次我理解了。

所以，我一定要更坚强和勇敢，更爱自己。因为像医生说的，我随时会死。听起来有点可怕，但这是命吧。真的遇 到了，就接受，反正人迟早都会离开的。

在这个平台，我遇过很多形形色色的人，有善良的，嚣张的，吝啬的，大方的，小气的，过分的。不管怎样的人都 好，一定要记得，恶有恶报，善有善报。欺负过我的人，可能你们现在还过的好好的，但我相信迟早会有你们应得 的报应。

最后，我还是希望能遇到可以陪我去看海的人和给我拥抱的人。是真的面对面那种，不是口头敷衍那 种。

Sis JJ,

Clinging onto HOPE is the driving force to stay positive and live life to the fullest... measure by quality and not length of days (which I know talk is easy), but sometimes we are jolted by news that will make us relish life and loved ones even more. 加油！！！

Courtesy of MS Bing to help with translation:

In just two years, I went to the hospital three times, and my life was really fragile. Hopefully, the body will slowly get healthier, not worse. The difference this time was that the doctor said it might be leukemia, and I was nervous and scared for a few days in the hospital, and then I was discharged. It was very painful, but I didn't have anyone to share it with, so I had to bear it myself, which was a bit pitiful. When I was very young, a fortune teller once asked me who to take with me in a war, and I thought about it for a while, and my intuition said that I would go by myself. At the time, I didn't know the meaning of this passage, but after this time, I understood it.

So, I must be stronger and braver, and love myself more. Because like the doctor said, I'm going to die at any time. It sounds scary, but it's fate. If you really encounter it, accept it, and people will leave sooner or later anyway.

On this platform, I have met many people of all kinds, including kind, arrogant, stingy, generous, stingy, and excessive. No matter what kind of person is good, we must remember that evil is rewarded with evil, and good is rewarded with good. Those who have bullied me may be doing well now, but I believe that sooner or later there will be the retribution you deserve.

In the end, I still hope to meet someone who can accompany me to see the sea and give me a hug. It's really face-to-face, not verbal

永远相信，美好的事情即将发生！
