Two years later, I am back in this familiar city.

Along the way I unlocked a new part of the map and looked out from the high-rises toward the sea. The towers I visited often back then. Now my eyes cannot see the sea, yet my heart still holds that boundless bay.

I used to be arrogant, thinking the world was mine. Now I see more and more how small I am, and I feel deeply ashamed. Seeing your own shortcomings should be the first step toward correcting them. For years, every week I have noticed how foolish I was the week before, which tells me I am still moving forward, in small, quick steps.

Boundless sea, take in this ignorant child with your wide embrace.
