To my 19 year old

Growth is long.
Growing up is often accompanied by various temptations. I am not a saint, so I can’t turn a blind eye to all of them and turn a deaf ear. Sometimes I can't resist temptation. When I want to do something that I think is very outrageous, I choose to paralyze myself, like Jim in the movie trying to paralyze himself to take drugs, and then I will hate myself so much why I did it, and there will be a thousand times of remorse. A thousand times of pain. When I grew up, I knew that I had to keep my privacy firmly in my heart and didn't need to tell others, but the more I thought about it, the more depressed and silent my heart became. Fortunately, I have the bright future I imagined to support me. When I am unhappy, I will think that what I need most is to give myself a sedative and self-control to be my own best spiritual partner. Life is not easy. If you are defeated by temptation and desire, it will be depressing and heart-wrenching. How sad it is to lose your mind and be the person you hate, hate, and dislike the most for the sake of current psychological satisfaction. 19-year-old me, there are still many temptations you need to resist. I hope to get rid of this deep quagmire as soon as possible and face the future.
