Was Wine Always This Sweet?

When I was a child, I thought wine was bitter, so I wondered why adults loved to drink it so much.

Time tells us we are past the age of unreasonable behavior, and it is time to be sensible.

The chaotic wind blew away my original dream. The price of growing up is losing my original self.

From childishness to maturity, from simplicity to complexity,

If you ask me what I have experienced, I can't quite tell you.

When I was a kid, I thought wine was bitter.

Why did adults love to drink it?

When I grew up, I found that wine is indeed much sweeter than life.

I finally reached the age I envied most as a child, but I didn’t become the person I admired most as a child.
