And it really struck me as the years went by, in a very negative way, when I would go to some stream that I'd loved, and was used to walking through this field that was once filled with fireflies, and now had a strip mall or a bunch of condos on it.
Mi-am dat seama, pe măsură ce treceau anii, într-o formă foarte negativă, mergând la acelaşi râu pe care îl iubeam şi eram obişnuit să cutreier câmpii care, cândva, erau pline de licurici, iar acum aveau pe ele un mall sau un ansamblu rezidenţial.
