When I was young, I thought love was

“Mountains without ridges, heaven and earth merging, only then dare to part with you”
Growing up, I realized love is
“Insufficient balance, transaction failed, please recharge before loving again”
And later I found out—
Even the act of “recharging” requires asking yourself:
“Today, should I continue to humbly lick or gracefully give up?”
Now, the first thing I do when I wake up every morning isn’t check my phone, but check my balance
Balance > 5000 → Today’s a good day to fall in love
Balance < 2000 → Today is suitable for “Zen singlehood”
Balance < 500 → Open Xiaohongshu and search “How to gracefully give up”
The most extreme is—
The more effort you put into making money, the more you realize
99% of problems that money can solve include “Why doesn’t my partner love me” as well.
As a result, you work your ass off to earn money,
And they say:
“You’ve changed, you weren’t like this before.”
Yes, I was so poor before I didn’t even have the mind to change.
Finally, I want to say:
Adults in 2026, true top-level romance isn’t giving flowers or bags,
It’s daring to tell your boss on payday:
“I’m quitting next month, I want to pursue my passion.”
(Then silently renew your takeout membership and continue working 996)
——
Being poor isn’t a sin,
Being so poor that you don’t even dare to dream is.
Which one are you now?
A. Love-struck with a balance > 5000
B. Zen and giving up with a balance < 2000
C. Already secretly planning to run away to a small city to farm
