56-Year-Old Aunt’s Solo Road Trip Goes Viral: “I Can’t Divorce, But Let Me Escape for a While”

Yang Jiang once said, “The world belongs to oneself and has nothing to do with others.”

Online, a 56-year-old aunt who went on a solo road trip has become popular. In a video, she mentioned living with her husband under the arrangement of splitting expenses due to their different ideologies.

For the sake of their children, she chose not to divorce. However, she felt unhappy due to the gap between her and her husband’s thoughts. Therefore, she decided to take a break and explore on her own.

During the road trip, her mood became more open. She shared that she made the video to inspire more women like her to break free from suppressing themselves in marriage and bravely be themselves.

Honestly, we can learn a lot from the aunt’s spirit. But behind this story, we also understand a truth.

That is, as a woman, you should live for yourself.

Marriage does not represent everything. Exploring more can broaden your mind.

If you keep complaining in marriage, you will only end up getting more hurt.

So, be brave to be yourself, and you will gain more excitement and happiness.

Restrictions are stumbling blocks in marriage. If you feel too suppressed, there won’t be happiness in marriage for you.

But this incident indeed taught us some lessons and served as a wake-up call for women.

Don’t Love Too Much

Have you ever liked someone so much that you couldn’t find happiness from them?

Wang Xiaobo once said, “Trying hard to please someone, fearing that any mistake will make them dislike you, is not love but seeking approval.”

In relationships, there is a saying: don’t love too much, as extremes will reverse.

Those who have been hurt in love must deeply understand this saying.

Loving too much will only bring you more and more pain, and you will end up heavily wounded.

While loving others, learn to love yourself as well. Only then can your life be filled with more happiness. Sacrificing yourself for loving someone too much is not worth it.

Learning to leave room in love is also a form of self-respect and understanding.

Nobody will love you for being servile. People love you for your excellence and self-love.

Don’t Seek Approval from Everyone

On the path of life, we are all earnestly being ourselves, so there is no need to seek approval from everyone. Those truly worth befriending will give you full respect in real life.

Interactions between people are like this. Only when you face your relationships squarely can you receive equal respect.

In any relationship, it’s all about mutual feelings. When emotions are exhausted, the relationship will come to an end.

On the path of life, there’s no need to seek approval from everyone. Life is about equal exchanges. When you learn to be yourself, your life will be more harmonious and beautiful.

Seeking approval will only put you at a disadvantage in relationships. Eventually, you will realize that life is yours, not dependent on others. Not seeking approval is also a form of self-respect.

The same goes for relationships. When you learn not to seek approval, life becomes more meaningful.

Look Forward

Chen Guo once said, “The person who makes you smile is worthy of spending your lifetime with.”

Life has many paths. In life, we face various setbacks, but in the face of setbacks, we must not give up. Learn to look forward, and your life will have more possibilities.

Give yourself hope every day, don’t worry about tomorrow, don’t sigh for yesterday. Face each day with optimism and positivity for a life filled with more beauty and happiness.

Everyone experiences ups and downs in life. Those who succeed in life do so because of their strength and courage. Life never pities the weak. If you want to be happy, you have to rely on your own efforts.

Look forward, and days will become better. Don’t sigh over the trivialities of life. Live wholeheartedly for yourself. Eventually, you will get everything you desire.

The same goes for relationships. If you only complain every day, your life will be difficult.

As a woman, at any time, you should have your own attitude. Love is just an accessory to our lives. Meeting someone due to fate is fortunate. If you have common ground, it’s lucky. If not, women should not blame themselves or give up.

Only when you live happier will your life get better. Don’t be trapped by emotions. As you age, you will understand the importance of loving yourself.

I hope every woman can be more free in relationships, live authentically, and then you will have the look of happiness.
