The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work

There are times when you get swept up in life, unsure of what to do, fretting and floundering. When you’re in that state, you sometimes wonder if this is the end. But somehow tomorrow comes anyway, and you go on living. Or rather, you simply know all too well that there’s no other way but this path. Like walking across a footbridge that doesn’t quite connect to the other side. Because we’re ordinary people like that.

And if all of us are fated to endure the same pain, maybe it’s all right to reach out for a moment and hold one another close.

P.S. There’s no one who gives me Lego as a gift. I suppose it’s because I’m not a genius developer.
