What If?

I was born a girl in a traditional family that strongly favored boys, and I grew up with little self-confidence. Luckily, when I was bullied in elementary school, I met my best friend Su Luo. Then, in middle school, I met my first love, Jiang Cheng. But his background was far too complicated. Even though we both tried so hard to get closer to each other, can love and effort alone really lead to a happy ending? If I could, I'd try a little harder. Would my life be better that way? If I could, I'd be a little braver. Would we then have avoided missing each other? If there were such a thing as a second chance, I'd want to start over and make up for every regret. Would that mean I could live without regrets? But is there really such a thing as “if”?
