I used to think love could fill the regrets in life.
However, what creates more regrets is love itself.
Love is both beautiful and mysterious, requiring selfless devotion from both sides, yet it can be controlled and smothered by favoritism.
Life cannot be devoid of expectations, but when encountering love, excessive expectations can become a weapon of heartbreak.
In reality, love is like this, when it burns hot like fire, shining like fireworks, it is destined not to last long;
Only when it flows like a stream merging into life, like the fragrance of osmanthus in August, can the wish for long-term dependence be realized.
So, truly happy women enjoy love but do not depend on men.
Happy Women, Rejecting Men’s Favor
My best friend was pursued by a wealthy second-generation, trapped in 999 roses and a one-carat diamond ring.
No wonder they say love is the best cosmetic, during that time, my friend was radiant, appearing as the happiest and most beautiful woman in the world.
Even when the man requested her to become a full-time girlfriend after graduation, taking care of his daily life so he could focus on his career without worries, Linda agreed.
Upon graduation, she gracefully declined the olive branch extended by her mentor, running towards the sweet life she longed for…
Three years later, the man accepted his family’s arrangement and entered into marriage with a girl of the same social status.
It was then my friend realized, once the man’s favor was withdrawn, she had nothing left.
Happy women know that their happiness can only come from within.
A man’s favor is a cherry on top when he loves you, but when he doesn’t, it becomes an unattainable hope.
Just like Shakespeare said: Expectations are the root of all heartaches.
Happy women always take control of their own lives and do not rely on anyone, even their beloved partner.
Because they understand that what they firmly hold onto is the most reliable, while what others give, whether as a gift or a plea, cannot last.
If a woman wants happiness, she should follow her heart, reject men’s favor and control, and create her own path in life.
Happy Women, Shining Without Relying on Men
Beautiful women attract various men’s advances, but smart and happy women stand on an equal footing with them, seeking cooperation and mutual benefit;
Conversely, if a woman constantly accepts men’s gifts and help, she may inevitably fall into dependence and find it hard to break free.
As Hayao Miyazaki said in his works:
“In this world, do not rely too much on anyone, because when you struggle in the dark, even your shadow will leave you.”
We may seem to have intricate relationships with many people, yet when it comes to making decisions, it often boils down to oneself.
In the world of adults, there are exchanges of interests, mutual support, but there is no one-sided excessive giving.
When a man provides help “selflessly,” he has already set a price in his heart.
Life doesn’t offer many shortcuts, nor do we always encounter benefactors with kind hearts and deep pockets.
Truly happy women never let themselves be used as bargaining chips, sacrificing unbearable costs for temporary gains.
If a woman gambles her life to see if her husband can love her unconditionally and commit for a lifetime without regrets,
She might end up losing everything.
To be a happy woman, one must believe: Happiness cannot be sought or begged for, only created by oneself.
Do not hold too many expectations for others, seek internally in all things, as true and lasting happiness comes from within.
