This is beautiful!! What is the story behind this? For me, this read like the story of growing up, how you could drive yourself mad thinking about the past and all that you have lost or left behind, but part of growing up is accepting the past for what it is, because the only thing that stays the same, is that life is ever changing.

I love the line "The desert of immaturity of a man" - how vast, barren and endless immaturity can be. Wonderfully done.
