"Someday, the words I wanted to say to myself...
Now, they¡¯re the words I want to say to you."
In the summer of 2018, after completing my military service, I began to feel that I had finally returned to where I belonged. Around that time, a question suddenly came to mind:
"How have you been?"
I didn¡®t have the courage to say it out loud, so I simply typed it into my phone¡¯s memo app. Then, caught up in reality, I let it sit there for a long time.
But when I found myself at the start of something new, I looked at it again—just that one sentence. And I realized how many feelings were tucked inside those words.
Now, I want to share them—with the me of that time, and with you, right now.
