I do not much like to take the tone of a moralist.

我掌控着自己的人生。

Loneliness is a lifelong companion, an established fact. Instead of denying it, fighting it, and avoiding it needlessly, you’d better accept it, let it protect you from going home in the crowd, and let it accompany you to breakfast on Saturday morning and tidy up the sunshine.

The only thing worse than starting something and failing is not starting something.
