Life can be _______ . There will be people in your life who won’t be very nice. They’ll _______ you because you are different, or for no good reason. You will also face heartbreak and might be _______ by those you love. I hope you don’t have to face these too much, but such things happen.
Be open to life anyway. You’ll find cruelty(残忍) and _______ in your journey through life, but don’t let that _______ you from finding new things. Don’t retreat（退却）from life, and don’t hide or wall yourself off(把自己隔离). Be open to new things, new experiences, and new people.
