In the past, life was filled with vibrant experiences on an island, where taking a ferry to school and enjoying the brilliance of a starry night was commonplace. Canoeing to the lighthouse to discover ancient petroglyphs, fishing for salmon, and wandering through dense forests were part of everyday life, yet they felt ordinary because everyone shared those moments.

Now, living in hard, glittering cities, those reminiscences seem surreal. The connection to those simpler times feels significant, and the presence of a loved one makes all those memories resonate, reinforcing their authenticity amid the chaos of modern life.
