Merry Go Round

We were entirely powerless to change our circumstances, yet we shared an unwavering conviction that anything was possible. Our paths first crossed during the final year of high school, bringing together an anxious protagonist weighed down by misery and a circle of peers whose carefree and endearing spirits stood in stark contrast. Though life felt overwhelmingly bleak, their presence ignited a transformative belief in a brighter horizon. That precious era became our own personal merry-go-round—a fleeting, luminous chapter of youth defined by shared dreams, deep bonds, and the illusion that we could conquer the world together despite our helplessness.
