In this period of transition and shifting times, as the younger generation gradually ascends,

A moving story emerges, both tragic and real.

Of unfulfilled expectations and skewed dreams.

Born in a world of screens and limitless streams, where virtual connections have replaced personal gleams, the new generation finds its place in a sea of obstacles.

With heavy hearts and tired spirits, they attempt to establish their own positions in a fast-paced, icy society where true feelings are frequently unspoken.

They crave for meaningful relationships while lost in the maze of expectations, yet superficial echoes and distant screams leave them feeling alone under darker sky.

They want for the touch of a kind hand, but find themselves adrift in a digital world where superficial connections come and go, leaving them empty and depressed.

A gleam of innocence vanishes from their eyes as they experience a world that degrades, where compassion is scarce and kindness is unusual, leaving them overwhelmed with the weight they hold.

Oh, young people! I mourn for thee, for the difficulties you endure and the agony you witness.

May you find peace in the midst of adversity and pave a road to a better life.

May your voices soar and your dreams fly as you navigate this difficult world with strength, for within your hearts is the potential to heal and construct a more ideal future.
