(the only) One of a kind
I am convinced there is only one of me in this world. None like me. This applies to anyone. There has never been and will never be anyone like you in the entire history of the universe. If you die today, the earth will still spin, the sun will rise and people will go about…

감사를 올립니다
거친 파도가 마음속에서 요동치나, 저의 작은 돛단배가 전복되지 않게 하소서. 물결이 잔잔하다는 거짓말은 하지 않겠습니다. 파도가 높아 앞이 보이지 않을때에도, 선한 바람결이 저의 안내자가 되게 하소서. 파도가 저를 유혹하지만, 당장이라도 뛰어들고 싶지만, 당신께서 저에게 기회를 주시고, 가장 좋은 곳에 저를 놓으시니 감사를 올립니다. 당신 곁에서 멀리 떨어지게 하는 것들을 붙잡고 싶지만, 그럴 수도 있지만, 당신을…

J’étais malade!
Part I When I was sick, a basic need, a physical need, was unfulfilled. All the extra things, the unnecessary but good things, were out of sight. All I wanted was for my body to stop aching. At the same time, the things I had overlooked on a normal day became dearer to my heart:…

Saturday, morning, coffee, contemplations
When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)? When I was confident that my future self will do the things that needs to be done. Like I knew I had a lot to do but instead of worrying I trusted that I will get it done. Because I realised,…

Between philia and eros
I pretend not to look at you, and then I looked at you and then you looked at me and then we exchanged cheeky grins. I must have forgot about it during the day because I was busy. But it’s all coming to me now. I need to sleep and wake up early tomorrow but…
