I have been abroad to attend meetings of cultural exchanges. Once I chanced on a very beautiful dress and spent a lot of money for it. I liked it so much that I begrudged wearing it. As a result of being rarely used it gradually fell into obvilion. Not until a change of season made me tidy up my wardrobe with the help of my family members did it appear and remind me of its existence. It had been so well kept from washing and sunning that it looked brandnew and well ironed, but its style was rather out of fashion now. Embarrassed and reproachful of myself, I could do nothing but wrap it carefully to place it again at the bottom of the wardrobe. Recalling how happy I was when I first got it I couldn't help sighing I'd missed enjoying it all together.
When I was very, very young, there was someone I was really fond of. Anything about him, no matter how trivial it was, whether a frown or a smile, would stir my feelings so much that I felt I had a great deal to express and sing. But as a girl I couldn't bring myself to do so. I had to keep it to myself, neatly fold it and carefully bury it deep in my heart, fancying someday when I had enough courage to open my heart without reservation in his presence. I was thus waiting and waiting until finally this sentiment died out as if it were a seed decaying in airtight soil without any benefit of the sun or rain.
Anything in one's life has a period of keeping fresh. Nice aspiration, if only placed solemnly on the table of ideal to worship, will end up being buried in dust by time.
If we become aware of the bitterness that we taste now, we should treasure the happiness brought to us by the clothes we are wearing and the people around us.

Should "fell into obvilion" be "fell into oblivion" in the fourth sentence of the first paragraph?
