It's a Shame It Wasn't You

It took me more than two years to write about things that happened over the course of four years.

So much happened in those two years, turning so many of my old beliefs upside down.

What I once stood by became stubbornness, and what I once thought was right proved to be wrong.

The greatest regret in life is giving up too easily on what we shouldn't give up, and stubbornly holding on to what we shouldn't.

But it's all happened, and it's all in the past. Let it go, put a period at the end, and start over.

Be brave to chase, be brave to give up.

If anything can be forgotten, it isn't memory.

If anything can grow old, it isn't youth.

Under the blue sky, this is for you: the best years of my youth.

It's a very quiet story, because life is a shallow, gentle stream. A life full of tumultuous ups and downs is exhausting.
