“Whether you did cherish the times or not, it doesn’t make a difference.
It still ends at the same time.
What is important is that you did not regret doing the things you did or did not do … ”


“Now that way of life has come to an end and will hardly ever come back again.
What are left are merely vague, intangible memories and photos lacking in richness and details of the actual times.”


May we all prolong this way of life or frequently gather to reminisce it.
May all of you lead some inspirational lives!
(Don’t be mistaken, I am a freethinker.)
