　　你很快就会懂得，握住一只手与锁住一颗心，之间有着精妙的差异；你懂得爱并非依赖，有陪伴并非就安全。

　　你会懂得亲吻并非契约，礼物也非承诺；失恋的痛苦你也开始能够承受。

　　昂起你的头，眼睛向前看，展现你女人的风姿绰约，而非孩子般的忧郁无助。

　　你该清楚，应该在今天铺设自己所有的路。因为明天充满了太多的变数，很难规划，且未来总会出其不意地出现在我们面前。

　　你很快就会懂得，若拥有太多的阳光，也会使人灼伤；因此要培植自己的花园，美化自己的心灵，而不要静待别人把鲜花送至你手。

　　你会懂得自己确实很有耐力……自己的确很坚强，且拥有自身的价值。你会逐渐懂得更多，每次的分手都会令你有所感悟。

　　After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security.

　　And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and eyes ahead with the grace of a woman not the grief of a child.

　　And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid flight.

　　After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

　　And you learn that you really can endure that you really are strong and you really do have worth and you learn and learn with every good bye you learn.
