Whee!
I hadn't read this shrine before, so this will be my first time going through it...
Your writing is always so enjoyable. I think I might just read anything as long as it's you who wrote it.

It is a sometimes-horrible necessity of life: constant change and adaptation. Just as a tree's flowers must wither for its fruit to form, just as baby teeth must fall out for permanent teeth to grow in, so must childhood give way to adolescence and adulthood.
I just wanted to quote this because you wrote a very beautiful thing there.
I'm very happy after reading this. Congratulations on such a beautiful shrine!
