A good life?
A good life is one where memories of great moments outweigh the painful memories. Pain is inevitable but it is not inevitable that everyday is painful. I love life. I complain about how hard it is but I do love it in truth. I complain about how people are cruel but I do love them…

by faith, not sight
It is incredibly difficult to operate on faith. It is hard to live by faith not by sight. My entire life was managed by and built on what can be seen and measured; my abilities, the outcomes of my actions, the data which supports one course of action over another etc. My motivation and discipline…

Sound of life
I live in an apartment in the city. I know a lot of people and families live in the apartment but it’s curious how I don’t run into people that often in the corridors. For the most part, the walk from my place to the elevator is a very quiet and dull one. I have…

그런 날
오늘은 그런날 이에요. 내가 얼마나 참고 포기하고 있는지 생색 내고 싶은 날이랄까? 당신은 나를 위해 목숨까지 포기했지만, 난 고작 이런것들에 힘들었다고 투정해요. 오늘 하루 그랬어요. 충분히 하고 싶었고, 그리고 할 수 있었는데, 안하기로 한 것들이 막 생각나는거 있죠. 아쉽기도 하고, 손해 보는것 같기도 하고. 이것도 지나면 다 잘 했다고 생각하겠죠. 근데 투정부리고 싶네요 오늘은.

There is nothing like sitting at a hospital reception to resolve your first-world-problem-type complaints. I was sitting in one this morning. I felt so humble and grateful for all that I do have despite sometimes feeling like I need ‘more’. There were a lot of people there, most of them middle age plus or elderly.…

If you love them,
When she spoke about what happened, I felt obliged to listen though it breaks my heart every time. That is the burden that I have to bear. My animal brain would rather avoid pain at all costs but to listen to her story and feel its pain was my duty and a way to unburden…

A little bit of you
Do you ever miss a wonderful person you have never known? Then you remember seeing them time to time behind different faces. Sometimes your heart jolts of excitement, at other times it aches. Either way you are in awe. But even sunlight costs you. Anything brilliant and amazing has a price.

How about a compliment?
Last year on a wet and cold winter evening at a wine bar, a waitress told me I was “very pretty”. Putting aside whether I am indeed “very pretty” under objective beauty standards, and the fact that it seems now to be a taboo to comment on one’s appearances even if in a positive light,…

Writing makes me …
When I finish writing, it all makes sense.

The book-smart girl that is actually foolish
The girl who says all the right things like a textbook. The poor girl doesn’t know that her eyes flash doubt. Little does she know, her audience is already sickeningly familiar with the rhetoric she dogmatically regurgitates. Some of her audiences are in fact, more acquainted with that ‘textbook’ than herself. But of course, because …
