I know nothing about many things. Life is so unfamiliar to me. I feel like a person who has always lived by the pond, suddenly being taken to the sea. It makes me hold my breath, but it also makes me excited. I don't want to die, I want to live. I have started to have a new courage. I feel like an old sailor who has set sail towards the unknown sea, and my soul longs to understand the unknown.
