Youth

1/March/2023 in Tokyo

Waiting as always at Starbucks in the central Tokyo at 21:30

Full of young people, around 15 - 20 y.o.


Youth period......16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 y.o......is the source of dreams for life

Even long after it's gone, we still remember it out of nostalgia & sentimentalism & romanticism

But I don't think I want to go back to these ages
Once is enough, like life

Feels like youth period is not the time to live from inside, but to look back, to remember & to envy once it's gone, that is, observe from outside

I already knew this period is not as nice, as comfortable, as beautiful as adults & society portraits

Having said, there is something in this period

Something dazzling, something precious, something eternal

Probably that's why any kind of mistakes, impoliteness, silliness of a young person seems forgivable

Being late in 45-year-old doesn't feel forgivable
yet 21-year-old does
