Inertia

Inertia plays an important role in supporting life,
just like a central counterweight.
And at the same time,
it can also become a hamster-wheel-like cage
that you can't escape from in the repetition of daily life.

Even while taking a walk in search of rest,
even while riding a bike in search of leisure,
I couldn't gaze leisurely at my surroundings
and started to wonder if I had been running while looking only forward.

It's been a really long time, but at a cafe
after staring at the scenery for a while,
I am leaving a few words behind.
