Even if what I do is not appropriate, I shouldn’t be too hard on myself, nor should I demand perfection, or even correctness. Experiencing a mistake without major consequences is also part of life.
Today I reluctantly accepted a few classmates’ invitations,
but amidst the superficial toasts and polite exchanges, I felt only boredom. In this environment, mutual nourishment is impossible. My personal energy is being drained too severely, so I won’t participate in such gatherings in the future. But I don’t regret this time, because the opposite experience has given me profound insight.
