    Writing makes me …

    When I finish writing, it all makes sense.

  • The book-smart girl that is actually foolish

    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 …

  • When a heartbreak looms

    When a heartbreak looms

    As I expected, a ripple of unease ran through my heart. And then I sensed that maybe later in the evening, my heart might just break. So it was Unity Books to the rescue. Joan Didion should do me good according to the shopkeeper’s diagnosis. So I took up his prescription and walked out with…

  • Day 11

    Day 11

    I really like it when you kind of pick yourself up on a rotten day and do something wholesome. You hate the cold and the lack of sun. You know you get a bit blue when it’s cold and cloudy. But I love that you do small things for yourself on those days because you…

  • Day 10

    Day 10

    자연스러움. 자연스러움에 대해서 배우고 싶다. 자연스러움을 소유 하고 싶다. 자연스러운 사람 곁에 있을때 얼마나 편안하고 즐거운지. 자연스러움은 어디서 나오는 걸까? 어떤 마음가짐에서 나오는걸까?

  • Day 9

    Day 9

    1 You are just a really wonderful person who often gets caught up in existential loneliness. You think that it’s a flaw, but it’s not your fault that it happens to you. It just happens, and that is just a fact. You enjoy observing people, though; sometimes, it’s not a voluntary choice. You notice small…

  • Day 2

    Day 2

    I guess I’m not a machine. I can’t just program myself to do things at certain times. You can’t just autopilot through your entire life. I definitely tried that. How harsh of me! I am so human (surprise, surprise). I get discouraged, I get jealous. I need pep talk, I need attention and tenderness from…

  • 파도, 모래성

    파도, 모래성

    파도가 친다내 마음속에경이로운 건지폭풍같은 건지잘 모르겠다 일렁이는 파도가재미있는 것 같다가도이게 맞나 싶기도 하고 많은 사람들이 왔다 간다해변의 물결처럼물결이 스친 곳엔 흔적이 남는다 제 각기 다른 모양새의 곡선들이나의 모래성을 지나울타리를 깎고새로운 모래를 덧붙이고끝내, 나는 변화한다모래성은 매순간이위태하다그래도 나는 이 파도에내 성을 맡긴다나를 붕괴시킬지영광스럽게 할지알 수 없지만나는 이 해변이 좋다내가 선택한 이 해변 만약에 어쩌다 나의 성이흔적없게 되더라도,…

  • It’s delicate

    It’s delicate

    Surrounded by acquaintances, friends, family and love interests, and yet.. To the question ‘Why is it never enough?’ lies a futile answer. There is within me a secret chamber.  It’s the source of all the vacuous feelings that often engulf me. I was vaguely aware of this in the past, now it is a resounding…

  • Like a wildflower

    Like a wildflower

    I can’t get over how beautiful and refreshing this green is. the cool morning air is cleansing my mind. I love this moment. Where was I all along? Why did I not see this even though I was looking at it all the time? Ah at least I am now. At least I’m here now.…
