For example, the song of birds. I had difficult, difficult moments in asking questions, but I I don't think I ever broke up. It would have been nice to have someone by my side at that time. But the way I look at life means I'm not with anyone. Maybe they need to change. I don't regret how I lived, but I want a proper partner. I'll run the rest of my life like that. .
