A new path. My friend took me to her favorite viewpoint in our neighborhood. 友達が彼女のお気に入りの景色の綺麗な場所に私を連れて行ってくれました。私が通ったことのない道を使って。 It makes me feel like a kid again. それは子どもの頃に戻ったような感覚です。 We arrived a beautiful view stretching across Portland! ポートランドが見渡せる場所に着きました。 Sharing my favorite places with friends makes me feel so connected to them. 友達とお気に入りの場所を共有できるのは、心でつながっているようで嬉しくなる。
