Love Your Fate
"Do I love my fate?"
We must journey through the forest of thoughts,
lose ourselves in endless steps,
and sink deep into the realm of
self-reflection,
to hear the
quiet truths within.
In this sanctuary of boundless contemplation,
take a moment to
ponder once more.
"Do I truly love my fate?"

Lush Summer

Colorful Autumn

Tranquil Winter
