“I forget when I sleep”
Six years have passed since I left my hometown. The person I wanted to be then was only vague and unclear.
What has Tokyo done for me?
Maybe I knew all along.
Tokyo does not predicate my existence.
Leaning on others and society can be unhealthy for you even if it feels comfortable.
In order to be myself, I have to believe in myself no matter where I am.
Even if the path I take going forward is a roundabout one,
Even if I fumble my way through,
I want to move forward.
