Natsukashii 懐
Walking along the beach, during recess hour, I would pick up seashells and set my eyes across the horizon, with no clue that I will be across the pacific ocean a few years later. My school Kinser Elementary resided next to the beach. Because of that, I would frequently wander and get in trouble, of course for leaving the boundaries of the playground. I was a curious child.
