In Chinese We Don’t Say “pet” We Say “宠物 (chǒngwù)” Which Translates To “spoiled Thing”

专心 (zhuan1 xin1) - to be attentive; focused

Eg. I have to be 专心 during my studies. Good luck back to school everyone! To be honest I’m actually pretty excited for the new semester.

强大，而不粗鲁。善良，而不软弱。勇敢，而不欺凌。谦逊，而不胆怯。自豪，而不傲慢。

Be strong, but not rude. Be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant.

生活是一场漫长的旅行，不要浪费时间，去等待那些不愿与你携手同行的人。

Life is a long journey. Don’t waste your time waiting for people who are not willing to walk with you.

Every story has an end, but in life, every ending is a new beginning.

Hey! I am really late with this, but I though that some of you might like to see how I make my monthly spreads. I did this sort of “infographics” (??? am I even allowed to call this thing infographics??) and even though it looks like this, I had so much fun making it :D. I really don’t know whether this is helpful or not, I tried. In case you’d like to see more tutorials (and hopefully better ones) in the future, let me know please? And thanks if you read it till the end, it’s so long :D

(I totally ran out of space for pictures at the end lol)

我一个人时很少觉得孤独；却经常在人群和团体中感到孤独。

I’m rarely bored alone; I am often bored in groups and crowds.

我会在伤痛中找到力量并改变我的方法。

I’ll find strength in pain and I will change my ways.
