July 5, 2024 : Keeping Faith with My Past Self
© 安岡喜晴 (JoyShine)
Today I went to the supermarket next to the school where I used to study for the university entrance exam.
Lately I've grown fond of this one, so I find myself coming to this area more and more.
When I got off my bike and stood in front of the supermarket, I felt a strange feeling.
I once studied, had many dreams in this city, and then left.
And now, even though nearly 30 years have passed since then, I come back here, work hard, and still have many dreams.
I wonder if I can ever fulfill the dreams I had back then.
If I could see myself back then, what words would I say to myself?
The dreams I had back then, I still have now.
I have been working on my dreams, and some of them I have achieved, and some of them I have yet to work on.
I don't know if I should apologize to myself back then, but I will keep working on my dreams so that I don't end up apologizing to myself in the past.
