Friendship is the bridge of the soul.
形容世事短暂如春梦,人情淡薄如秋云。
I would like to make it clear, in parenthesis, that I do not blame my parents for their point of view. There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you.
I don't regret my past; I just regret the time I wasted on the wrong people.
