Some say that all encounters in life are destined, but what is more important than the encounter itself is how we choose to cherish it. Time determines who you will meet in life, your heart decides who you want to appear in your life, and your actions determine who will ultimately stay. We will always meet many people, but those who can truly remain in our lives are never by chance; they are a choice. It is about who you are willing to spend time for, and who is willing to hold onto their true feelings for you, cherishing those whom you choose sincerely and leave through actions. Because all lasting relationships in this world are the result of mutual effort; what is directly filtered out are those who merely pass by, while you and your heart decide your true life.
