I will become 20 this summer. When I was in elementary school, I looked forward to being 20... And I remember thinking, "I want to become an adult soon!" Even if I don't say anything, it will happen to me eventually, but to be honest, I don't want to turn 20! That is probably because there is the image that "20 = adult."
But recently -- very recently -- I've been thinking that if I could be a "childish adult" or an "adult child," it could really be a wonderful thing.
... 20, huh? I still have a long ways to go. I'd like to try to become a person who can take on anything. And I progress steadily at my own pace. Stay true to myself and go about naturally... that would be nice. "Natural." That's a great word.
I'm really looking forward to this summer now. August 10th. Please let me spend that day laughing.
Shooting stars. Fireworks. A pretty place. Everyone's smiles. There are still many things I want to see and do.
Everyone, please treasure who you are now and let's go about laughing a lot!
