"Don't worry, I won't blame you. After all, when you were young, you met someone who took your breath away. Everyone meets a first love who leaves a lasting impression. You, for instance, left your mark on my youth. Otherwise, why would you have kept President Yan's photo on your desk all these years?"

You shouldn't meet someone too dazzling when you're young. Otherwise, you'll spend your whole life unable to forget them,

and end up alone.

When you meet someone too dazzling too early, either the rest of your life belongs to them, or it belongs to your memories of them.
