It’s already midnight, and I can’t fall asleep. Dreams keep me awake at midnight. The melody of Lana Del Rey’s “Love” keeps replaying in my head.

“You get ready, you get all dressed up
To go nowhere in particular
Back to work or the coffee shop
Doesn’t matter ’cause it’s enough
To be young and in love.”

I want to love, and be loved. “To be young and in love”. There are so many kinds of love in this world, right?
Lu Xun once wrote, “I used to think that others respected me because I was very good. But later I realized that others respected me because they themselves were very good. Good people respect everyone.”
So, I think, instead of looking for love and happiness in others, be the harbor of your own happiness.
Be a person who, no matter who you love, you – and that person – own happiness.
Create love, don’t be a seeker of love.
