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…

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.

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.

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
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…
