Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
This is where I try to motivate myself, and who knows that at the same time it can motivate others too :)
Hatred is burdensome. It’s hard to be happy when you hate (so many things and) so many people. When you hate someone, you just can’t see him having fun or happy. You are angry all the time. You feel like you have to ruin the fun. You feel like you have to look like you’re…
The other day one of my friends shared his financial management on Facebook and talked about how we, graduate students, especially ones with scholarship or assistantship, are considered “poor”. He posed a question about being rich: “How rich is rich?” This reminded me of my own conversation with other friends here. I remember the question…
Some time ago, a friend of mine posted this status where she said sorry for not being able to be a perfect mother. I asked her what she meant by “perfect”. Is there any example of a perfect mother? She said it’s someone who could do everything such as cooking any types of dish (for…
This might be just another narcissistic act of mine, sending a postcard to myself. Why would you send a postcard to yourself? Don’t you have somebody to send you a postcard? Sending a postcard to yourself looks so pathetic. Don’t you have anything else to do for yourself? Well, I have no idea about what…
Still remember my post about inclusive schools here? I told you about my class, in which there was a student with disability. But I was wrong. There was not a student. There were students with disabilities. I knew it would somehow show me as ignorant to realize this only at the end of the class….
The other day I ran into this tweet by Paulo Coelho: It really strikes me. I mean, that’s how I often feel, too. Not only “I love you” but something like, “I miss you”, “Where have you been? I’m worried.”, etc. Sometimes I’m afraid some people will think it’s cringey especially when we are not…
Do you like postcards? Have you ever sent or received one? Well, I love postcards. I’ve been sending postcards to some friends and I have received a few as well. It makes me happy 😊 Actually, I started sending postcards when I first came to the states. I sent some to friends across the states,…
Still remember Choi Daniel, one of my favorite Korean actors? Yeah, his drama “Jugglers” ended last January 23, 2018. I was too busy with my study to write about it. That’s because I need to write it “emotionally”. If I don’t have the time, I might as well not do it. But, well, as many…
Sadness is often portrayed as negative and bad that we often hide it. Whenever we feel sad, we quickly tell ourselves to be happy. Sometimes we feel bad for feeling sad. We feel worse for feeling bad. Endless. But, is it really not okay to feel sad or to show the world that we’re not…
Happy New year 😊 Many seem to post reflections and resolutions. I hope whatever you wish for to happen this year will come true and work out for the best for you. As for me, I think I’ve stopped making such resolutions since some time ago, and I’d rather do my reflections on daily basis….
