Chapter 44: Attempts and Concessions

In life, the hardest part is not being a novice; everyone greets the world without experience. Looking back, every step is a mistake, and every year carries regrets.

The painful part is that most missteps are irreparable and, over time, become a thorn in one's heart.

There are times, in a state of half-drunk or half-asleep daze, when one might weep inconsolably and fret deeply, but the past is ultimately still the past.

Perhaps because of the plethora of missteps, even a worthless person could confidently claim that if they could return to the past, they would certainly achieve something earth-shattering.
