Flowers bloom and fall, fate comes and goes, these are all normal things. Don't worry about the lost fate, just like a flower will fall after it blooms, and it will bloom again after it falls. You should relax your mind and don't care too much about a small detail.
This sentence comes from "The Broken Flower" by Li Qingzhao, a female poet in the Song Dynasty who is known as "the most talented woman throughout the ages".
"Broken Flowers"
Author: Li Qingzhao
Flowers bloom and fall without regret, fate comes and goes like water.
When flowers fade, they bloom, and when flowers fly, they become sad.
The sorrow of flowers is the tears of flowers, and the tears of flowers are the broken flowers.
Flowers dance, flowers shed tears, flowers cry and petals fly.
Who do you thank when the flowers bloom? Who do you feel sad when the flowers wither?
