[Short Story] Mei

For a while
I don't think I need
a man

Right now
I will live
for myself

I'm turning 30 this year

How do I want to spend
the end of my 20s?

What I am intensely drawn to

and what I choose to focus on
is for me to decide

What do you want to do, me?

Until now
I didn't even have
the luxury
to think

Last month
I also quit my job

At my age
there are whispers
that it's reckless

I have no intention
of listening

to such words

Already 30?

No
I am
only 30

Life
is still long

For now
I'll go
as I please

to a country
I've never been to
perhaps

I will savor
the unknown world
to my heart's content
and

enjoy it fully

What is waiting
for me
from here on?

With 99%
excitement

With just a little bit of
fear
together

I will try diving in

Do your best!

Me
