Back then, who didn't wander at the crossroads of youth? Later, who has not gone astray in the future? Later on, who hasn't had a complete enlightenment in the twists and turns of life? Because we have gone through it, we understand it better. What is life? Life is the road under our feet, a series of life experiences, and a journey of the soul. On the long journey, we have passed through confusion, disappointment, joy, indifference, and all the prosperous times that have faded away. It has wasted us and precipitated us; it has stripped off the clothes of our youth, and also taken off our youth, ignorance and frivolity. Regardless of the detours we have taken or the pain we have endured, they are all here to save us. In the end, those things that belong to us will still appear on the road we have to walk. So, dear, let's go. If you don't go down some roads, you won't know how beautiful they are.
