Summary

This quote highlights the importance of having clear goals and aspirations in life. Without knowing what one truly wants or desires, any path or outcome can seem acceptable. It emphasizes that a lack of direction can lead to aimlessness and a lack of purpose. Just as a ship without a determined destination will be blown in any direction by the wind, a person without defined goals will easily be swayed by external circumstances or opinions. Therefore, it encourages individuals to reflect on their aspirations in order to navigate their lives with intention and determination.

I don't have a diary, I don't write things into a diary. I imprint myself into the sky and when the sunlight shines brightly, I can stand under the sun's rays and everything I have imprinted of myself into the sky, I will begin to see again, feel again, remember. And when the wind begins to blow, it blows the details over my face, and I remember everything I left in the sky and see new things being born. I am unwritten.
