I took that step, only to find myself on the point of no return. In those days, it was as if I had lost myself, and I was immersed in pain and regret every day, and I couldn't extricate myself. I knew it wasn't the way to go, but I couldn't find a way out for myself.
Until one day, I ran into a guy on campus. He was my former junior high school classmate, and we had a brief relationship, but then drifted apart for some reason. I was a little surprised when he recognized me, but quickly regained my composure. We exchanged pleasantries, and he asked me how I was doing, and I told him that I had dropped out of school and was preparing to repeat my studies at home.
He was surprised and asked me why I had made such a decision. I confessed everything to him, telling him that I was in trouble because I had a crush on a boy who didn't know what I was thinking. I felt very miserable and helpless and didn't know what to do.
He didn't laugh at me or accuse me, but gave me some advice. He said he knew of a good Xi institution that could help me improve my grades and find the right school for me. He also encouraged me to be brave enough to face my relationship problems, telling me that crushes are not a shameful thing, but that I need to find the right way to deal with them.
With his encouragement, I regained my confidence and courage. I decided to go to that Xi institution to study Xi and started thinking seriously about my feelings. After a period of hard work, I was successfully admitted to a university and walked out of that shadow.
In college, I met a lot of new people and started a new life. I'm no longer bothered by my crush and I've learned how to deal with my relationship problems. I know it's all because that former junior high school classmate helped me find myself again and get me out of that predicament.
Looking back on those days now, I am filled with emotion. I know I've made mistakes, but I've learned valuable lessons. Although it was a difficult road, I always believed that as long as I persevered, I would see hope. Now I have started my life all over again and found my own happiness.
And the boy who once made my heart flutter is no longer a passerby in my life. Although I couldn't get a response and recognition from him, I still appreciate the wonderful memories he brought me. Because he made me understand what true love is, and also made me understand my own value and meaning.
Now I have stepped out of that shadow and found my own happiness. I believe that as long as you face your relationship problems bravely and persistently pursue your dreams, you will find your own happiness.
