The historical context in which “Love you, you old self” was born
The deep impact of structural social environments on youth anxiety First clarify the concept: structural anxiety ≠ a personal mindset problem.

When sentient beings discover that no matter how hard they try, they still can’t find a way out, they have no choice but to shift from searching outward to digging inward.
Wait until after the college entrance exam. Wait until after graduation. Wait until starting a family and having children. Wait until after retirement… When the scam keeps replaying itself, sentient beings begin to awaken. They stop postponing happiness and start living in the present.
Love you already is at the core of the self-love tide, the flower nurtured by the times.
Love you to bits, wishing you a blooming journey ahead
I know you’ve wandered in the deep night Feeling lost, feeling helpless Carrying the weight of a thousand burdens
I know your biggest fear is parting ways Yet growth pushes you forward, no choice but to move on You’ve learned the hard way the bitterness of reality Until you see the harsh truth of life
The one you deeply love may not be held onto A true heart can be taken for granted But you choose to give everything without hesitation Determined to walk your chosen path
I wish you find the right person and all your wishes come true All that you fear will never happen
You are someone worth facing the storms of the world for
I wish you a heart full of light, shining towards the stars Everything you hope for is always possible
Keep dreaming big and sprint towards the future Blooming journey ahead
"Only I and myself are truly in this together, through thick and thin,
I’m willing to stand firm on my side, no matter if I’m in the red or the green, healthy or in a bear market, I love myself, respect myself, and accept myself, Forever loyal to myself, Until the end of the world"
