As the river of life flows toward the distant horizon, time carries us forward, each dream sparking a new rhythm in our hearts. Through the passage of years, we pursue our ambitions, grow, and ultimately emerge transformed, like butterflies breaking free from their cocoons. In these fleeting moments, we laugh, we cry, yet we remain calm and open-hearted. In these invaluable years, we embrace our youth, strive relentlessly, and move forward with unwavering determination.
On this winding road, driven by dreams or perhaps guided by the heart, we may sometimes lose our way. Confusion may blur our path, disappointment may lead us astray, and in our wandering, we may lose sight of who we truly are. Our original dreams might fade, our hearts may grow distant, and our true selves may become lost in the journey.
Even as we accumulate achievements, seize opportunities, and gather experiences, we might come to realize that the heart we carry no longer feels like our own, the path we tread doesn’t align with our original dreams, and the thoughts we harbor no longer reflect our true desires. This is because the essence of who we were has shifted—no longer innocent, no longer content, no longer the person we once knew.
Without that initial self, the sweetness of life diminishes, leaving behind only loneliness and emptiness. Without that initial self, the steadfastness we once held slips away, replaced by doubt and uncertainty. Without that initial self, the hopes we once cherished dissolve into discontent and frustration. Without that initial self, our earliest dreams fade, and the eternal flame in our hearts begins to dim. Life’s journey is finite, and it’s crucial to hold onto the truth of who we are.
Don’t lose sight of your original self, for that is your truest identity—the embodiment of light and happiness, unique and irreplaceable. Don’t let go of your original self, for that is the real you—a testament to strength and perseverance, unyielding in the face of challenges. Don’t forget your original self, for that is your purest expression—the source of kindness and sincerity, undeniable in its authenticity. And don’t abandon your original self, for within it lies the seed of your potential, the foundation of your strength, the clarity of your thoughts, and the firmness of your steps, waiting to flourish, waiting to be realized.
The essence of who you are—so pure, so true, so beautiful—should never be forgotten on life’s journey. As you reflect, resist the urge to lament for too long, for the road ahead demands your care and attention. As you contemplate life, do not let uncertainty cloud your vision, for the truth of who you are must be preserved and cherished. Never let go of it. Perhaps, Kampung Senang can offer a path for following your original vision.
