## 1. 8/1/2025

A random beach. Sunset.

maybe I’ll find the courage to try again.
Then I pause, realizing I’ve grown to appreciate the quiet pressure of my current roles.
The long hours are mine, to grow, to reflect, to follow a rhythm of life I’ve created.
Small moments, soft and grounding.

Salty breeze, warm sand beneath me.
The dim glow of my Kindle, then darkness settles in.

Early dawn. Coffee in hand. Sofa and a book.
Lantern light flickers in dim, cold morning air. The sun rises, slowly.

A different kind of happiness. A different way of living.

And I wonder, where is the core of me, the spark I chased as a child?
I’m running toward it now, surely, on a good track.
Still, I won’t deny the question:
What if I’m becoming… fully an adult? 😊

It bruises my pride a little, the idea that our thoughts and choices might simply follow hormonal tides, biochemical codes embedded in us.
Maybe that’s just life, accepting it, making peace with it, and crafting the best version of it…. Then I deny😂

I envy God. for having control over all of it, and see further the history. 

What was your dream as a child? 😊


어느 한적한 해변. 석양.

문득 생각해요… 다시 한 번 용기를 낼 수 있을까?
그러다 조용히 깨닫게 되죠.
지금 맡은 역할에서 느끼는 적당한 긴장감,
그리고 나만의 성장과 일상에 더 많은 시간을 쏟을 수 있다는 것이 꽤 마음에 든다는 걸요.
작지만 소중한 순간들이 참 많아요.

짭조름한 바람, 발끝에 스미는 부드러운 모래.
희미한 킨들의 불빛 아래, 어둠이 살며시 내려와요.

이른 새벽. 따뜻한 커피 한 잔, 소파에 기대어 책을 펼쳐요.
은은한 랜턴 불빛 속에서, 천천히 해가 떠오르죠.

조금은 다른 행복. 조금은 다른 삶의 방식.

그리고 가끔은 생각하게 돼요, 
어릴 적 품었던 그 순수한 열정과 영감은 어디쯤 있을까.
지금도 그 꿈을 향해 달려가고 있는 것 같지만,
문득 이런 생각도 스쳐요.
‘내가 정말 어른이 되어가는 걸까?’ 😊

저희가 품는 생각, 그리고 좋아하게 되는 것들조차
이미 우리 몸속에 정해진 호르몬의 균형에 따라
흐르는 거라면… 그 사실이 조금은 자존심을 건드릴 때도 있어요.
하지만 결국엔, 그 흐름을 받아들이고 그 안에서 최선을 찾아 살아가는 게 삶이겠죠.
그 모든 걸 스스로 조율할 수 있는 신이 괜히 부러워지기도 해요.

당신의 어린 시절 꿈은 무엇이었나요? 😊

## 2. 7/18/2025

Showered after a busy morning, a bit lazy on the sofa. Yet, even in the quietest corners of the world, I wonder:
am I the silence, or the one listening?

There’s something hauntingly beautiful about how the city hums while we search for stillness, and how solitude sings when we’ve forgotten our own voice. Maybe it’s not about where we are, but whether we’re willing to truly hear ourselves.

I enjoy watching people through quiet silence. 
Small moments and vivid voices echo longer than traffic ever could.

What echos in your soul today? :)

바쁜 아침을 마치고 샤워를 한 뒤, 소파에 조금 게으르게 누워있어요. 그러나 세상참 조용한 집구석에서도 머리는 생각을 멈추지를 않네요.
제가 침묵을 좋아하는 걸까요, 아니면 듣는 것에 익숙해진걸까요? 

저희가 고요함을 찾아 헤매는 동안 도시가 웅웅거리는 모습, 그리고 저희가 우리의 목소리를 잊었을 때 외로움이 노래하는 모습은 어딘가 잊히지 않을 만큼 아름다워요. 어쩌면 저희가 어디에 있는지가 아니라, 진정으로 저희의 목소리를 듣고자 하는지의 문제일지도 모르지요.

고요한 침묵 속에서 사람들을 바라보는 것을 즐기는 편이에요.
작은 순간들과 생생한 목소리들은 교통 체증보다 더 오래도록 울려 퍼지거든요.

무엇이 오늘 당신의 영혼 깊숙히 메아리맺게 했나요? :)

## 3. 4/25/2025

Lake within an island within a lake.

Tree half green and half dry, from same root.

Goose couple look so peaceful from far away, but careful not to come too close. They have a good time together privately, don’t want to be interrupted.

Just an hour drive away, then wonder why we hesitate so much to discover such nice views.

Maybe we keep these places special and occasional, so we feel special when visiting touristic places? 

Then, when we take a look around, we see unique and beautiful colors everywhere in daily life too. Some would definitely come to my place for tourism. Maybe. Wish I see the colors in normal days, as much as during the trips.😊

What kind of color do you see from your daily life? Hopefully you find beauty there too :)

호수 속, 섬 속의 호수.

반은 푸르고 반은 마른 나무, 같은 뿌리에서 나오기는 했어요.

멀리서 보면 거위 한 쌍이 평화로워 보이지만, 너무 가까이 다가가지 않으려 조심해야 해요. 이 친구들은 개인적 시간을 보내기를 원하며, 방해받고 싶어 하지 않답니다^^;

한 시간만 운전해서 가면 왜 이렇게 아름다운 풍경을 발견하는 데 저희는 이런 곳들을 가는 것에 참 많이 주저하고는 하네요.

관광지를 방문할 때 특별함을 느끼기 위해서, 자주 가지 않으며 특별하게 보관하는 걸까요?

저희 주변을 둘러보면 곳곳에서 독특하고 아름다운 색깔들을 발견하게 돼요. 여행 중처럼 평소 주변에서도 그 색깔들을 자주 보았으면 하네요.😊

여러분은 일상생활에서 어떤 색깔을 보시나요?

## 4. 3/10/2025

멍때리고 있어요.  오랜만이네요, 별 생각이 없는 것은.

일요일이 가지 않았으면 좋겠네요. 🙈

My brain is quite in a good phase of a white sheet of paper. It’s been quite some time that I’m not thinking of anything.

Sunday…. Please don’t go. 🙈

## 5. 3/9/2025

Yesterday I was having a dinner with kids I used to take care of.

It’s been already almost 10 years since I last met them… and gosh, the 8-9 years old baby kids I used to play with and gave them cookies are in university now…. They used to run after me and screamed for one extra cookie.😂

It’s such a weird feeling when these kids tell me they have boyfriends and girlfriends. I instantly become such a parent mode seeing them wearing sexy clothes to look attractive.
… but, but!!  Phew, ok they are adults now. 🫠🙈

Even all my friends have kids and starting family.  And here I am, very happy because I got the exact amount of coffee grams without looking. 🐠

I guess I got quite older than I thought. 

In my speed, in my frequency. 😄


어제는 제가 옛날에 돌봐주었던 아이들과 저녁을 먹었어요.

제가 얘들을 마지막으로 만난 지 벌써 10년이 다 되어 가네요... 참나, 저랑 놀겠다고 뛰어다니고 과자만 보면 좋다고 웃던 8~9살 아기들이 지금은 대학에 다니고 있네요. 😂

이 꼬마친구들이 벌써 남자친구와 여자친구가 있다고 하네요. 매력적으로 보이기 위해 섹시한 옷을 입는답디다…. 에휴, 부모의 마음이네요. ㅎㅎ 심지어 제 친구들도 다 아이를 낳고 가정을 꾸리고 있어요.. 하지만 저는 오늘 아침에 마실 커피 그램을 눈감고도 맞춘것에 좋아서 뛴답니다 웃기죠? 🐠

아무래도 나이를 제법 먹은 것 같아요.

제 속도, 제 주파수에서요. 😄

## 6. 2/18/2025

Waking up decently late in a random hotel, still early for many people.
Taking a long warm shower, feeling my body relaxing.

Driving through green roads, still feeling the warmth of shower around my hair blown up by weak ac.
I stopped by a pretty yellow bridge, stood up there watching cars passing by. I just wanted to, totally not on plan. 

Being lost without maps after a long time of busy life, I see the colors better. 
Randomly got into unknown street, witnessed the lives of people and small happiness.

I remembered what peace is like after a long time. I smiled. 😊

## 7. 2/9/2025

I like Tonguetwist. ☺️

If you read “자살(suicide)” backwards in Korean,

it becomes “살자(let’s live)”,

If you read “역경(adversity)” backwards,

it becomes “경력(career)”,

If you read “인연(mmm. No translation for it. Confidant relationship that randomly happened, but was destined?)” backwards,

it becomes “연인(lover)”,

If you read “내 힘들다(I’m tired)” backwards,

it becomes “다들힘내(let’s cheer up all together!)”.

I wish everyone could cheer up with small things. Do you have something similar in your language?^^

언어유희 좋아해요. ☺️

한국어로 “자살”을 거꾸로 읽으면 

“살자”가 되고,

“역경”을 거꾸로 읽으면 

“경력”이 되며, 

“인연”을 거꾸로 읽으면

“연인”이 되고,

“내 힘들다”를 거꾸로 읽으면

“다들힘내”가 되네요.

사소한 것으로 다들 힘낼 수 있으면 좋겠어요. 당신의 언어에도 비슷한 것들이 있을까요?^^

## 8. 1/27/2025

새를 좋아하는 걸까요? 아니면 눈 앞에 새가 보여서 사진을 찍는 걸까요?

가끔은 제 의도를 모를 때가 있는 것 같아요. 의도를 분석하는 것을 좋아하는 편이에요. 흠. 그럼 왜 의도를 분석하는 것을 좋아하는 편일까요?

끝이 없네요 ㅋㅋㅋ 

하지만 처음 의도와 진실된 의도가 아니더라도 결과가 괜찮고 자신이 이 일을 좋아하게 되었으면 좋은 게 아닐까요? 

Do I like birds? Or do I take pictures of birds because they are right in front of me?

Sometimes I don't know my intentions. I like analyzing intentions. Hmm. Then why do I like analyzing intentions?

It's endless 😂😂😂😂

But even if it wasn't my original intention or true intention, if the result is okay and I like it, isn't that good enough? 

Random thought of the day

## 9. 1/21/2025

No family dinner, but I was sick a bit.

Now I get funny comments and health recommendations from relatives I don’t know…. 

But cute, they were trying to encourage me and tell what they think is good. 
…
But I’ll take their hearts and thoughts only. One recommended me to drink fish juices daily to gain some external forces from universe. Wait, I thought I am the doctor! 😂

## 10. 1/18/2025

강아지가 뛰어노는 것을 보면, 어휴. 힘이 넘치네요. 작은 것에도 기뻐하고 그저 즐겁고 행복해 보여서 저도 기분이 좋아져요. 

해변가에 주인이랑 같이 나오기라도 하면 더 신나서 뛰놀더라고요. 언제 이렇게 정신없이 뛰어본지 잘 모르겠어요. 그럴 이유도 줄어지고… 음, 솔직히 스무 일곱살이 정신없이 뛰어논다고 상상하면 이상하게 볼 사람들이 더 많을 것 같네요 😂

진솔한 것 좋아해요. 다른 사람들도 그렇겠죠, 왜냐하면 시간이 지날수록 진솔한 게 뭔지 까먹을 때가 있는 것 같아요. 

무엇이 당신에게 진솔한 행복을 주나요?😊

When I see a dog running around, gosh ahah. They are so energetic. So happy even with small things and just looks so joyful and happy, and it makes me feel good seeing them happy.

If they go out to the beach with their owner, it's even more exciting and then start running around crazier. 
I don't know when was the last time I've been running around so wildly. And there's less and less reason to do it... Well, honestly, if you imagine a 27-year-old running around wildly, I think more people will think I’m a sicko 😂

I like genuineness. I think other people do too, because I think as time goes by, there are times when we forget what genuineness is. 

What gives you genuine happiness?😊

## 11. 1/15/2025

음… 다행히 머리는 벗겨지지 않았어요. 이상한 수염도 안 났고요.

어른이 되어간다는 것은 무엇일까요? 항상 어린이의 마음을 가지려고 노력했는데, 어느새부턴가 어른이 된 것이 너무 자연스러워질까봐 걱정이네요.

요즘들어 책임이 더 많아졌어요. 책임을 좋아하는 편인데, 너무 많은 것은 제 머리카락에 안 좋을 듯 해요. 

어린아이였을때 좋았던 기억이 있나요? 공유해주세요 :) 

Hmmm… Luckily, my hair didn’t fall out. And I don’t have any weird facial hair.

What does it mean to be an adult? I’ve always tried to keep a childlike mind, but I worry more nowadays that being an adult will become too natural.

I’ve been taking on more responsibilities lately. I like responsibility, but I think too much of it is bad for my hair.

Do you have any good memories from when you were a child? Please share them :)

## 12. 1/11/2025

바닷가에서 누워 있었어요.

오랫동안 멍때리고 나니 근처에 게들이 겁을 먹지 않더라고요. 제가 조금이라도 움직이면 무서워서 도망가던 게들이 구멍에서 나왔어요.

사람도 그렇지 않을까요? 누구든지 자기의 구멍이 있고, 잡아먹히거나 다치지 않기 위해 구멍에 숨고는 하는 것 같아요. 하지만… 천천히 시간을 가지고 기다리면 언젠가는 마음을 열겠죠?

아님 말고요. 

I was laying down for long time at beach. 

After reflecting my life and humanity and then about my dinner menu&enjoying the salty scent for a long time, the crabs nearby stopped being scared. The crabs that used to run away in fear when I moved even a little came out of their holes.

Isn't that the same for people? I think everyone has their own hole and hides in it to avoid being eaten or hurt. But... if you wait slowly and take your time, they'll open up someday, right?

Or not.

가끔은 집에서 늘어지고 싶어요.

역설이에요. 저는 아무것도 안하면 우울해지는 일중독자거든요. 

요즘에는 일을 조금 쉬엄쉬엄하고 있어요. 가끔은 그만두고 싶고, 때려치우고 싶어요. 하지만 앞으로 계속 나가겠죠? 

뭐가 당신을 앞으로 나아가게 하나요?🙂

Drinking tea that is overly brewed now. It tastes bitter and cold a bit… then it gives the strong scent that brings all the memories when I was drinking this tea in the past. 

I ain’t sure if this is early morning or late dawn. What keeps you awake all night?
