1.No matter what I did, I managed to do it all fairly well
2.But I was just a “jack of all trades, master of none,” turning into a frog in a well3.
4.I’ve come this far with “luck on my side” and “being resourceful”
5.But I get a bit venomous about my friends’ success stories6.
7.Now that I think about it, I used to try to increase the number of things I could do
8.At some point, I started thinking only about what I couldn’t do9.
10.My heart got scared and I retreated into my shell, just making excuses
11.Predicting and giving up, feeling down
12.When I held up the first-place badge from that race long ago to the light
13.What do I see? The promise I made with the future back then?
14.Is it faded glory?15.
16.In my early twenties, when I was in a dream-like state
17.I blamed my overflowing energy and lived recklessly18.
19.Being expected, being tested, people are cruel and selfish
20.Eventually, I pretended that the answer was just the number of evaluations21.
22.Instead of immersing myself in the trends that have eaten up the era and deceiving myself
23.It’s okay to be laughed at and mocked
24.Imagining scoring a winning goal in the last two seconds
25.I can still do it! Let’s go back and meet the “me” left behind in those days26.
27.Ripping off my T-shirt and baring it all, I have nothing to hide anymore
28.Even the scars that won’t fade will be my badges of honor
29.Rolling around, crawling, I’ll go all out!
30.Even if I’m not a perfect hero, I’ll bravely take on the challenges
31.The blood of victory flows in me too
