Gradually becoming an adult

I guess I am gradually becoming an adult

A lonely memory

 I really enjoyed living in my memories. Looking over old photos, recalling past adventures, past joys, sorrows, and lessons. I would argue that I visited too often, cherishing memories more than the present moment. Even when something amazing was happening, it was difficult to wholly focus on the moment, sometimes finding myself thinking ahead to what an amazing memory this would later be. 

Memory like a sponge

 I am running out of memory. On memory cards, hard drives, my totally-busted computer, and my slightly busted mind.

Happy-go-lucky

 I remember the first time a classmate in high school commented that I had a "happy-go-lucky" attitude,  I was slightly dumbfounded. 

Back to Busan

Even (or maybe especially so) on holiday, I awaken early. I enjoyed the sunlight streaming through the courtyard into our doors before deciding to get ready.

A cup for every occasion, pt. 3

I've wanted a proper set of tea cups for a long time... all the better if it was second hand. After some regrets over not purchasing them when visiting a plentiful but now defunct vintage store, I was able to locate some at the local thrift store, and started to grow my collection already. The first set I bought was gifted away, but the second set I laid my eyes on, was when I instantly fell in love. 

The colourful garden print was right up my alley, and I quickly became the proud owner of a tea cup set. It is a rare occasion when I take this cup out, as it usually sits on the shelf, proudly displayed. 

Living in a hanok

We woke up early to have breakfast at another nearby Sukiya, and then after running back because I left my umbrella, we returned to pack up the rest of our room.

Appropriate obsessions

Some angry thoughts from a year ago. Since then, new 'obsessions' have been added, but have not replaced existing ones. Ones that are evidently 'appropriate' of a person of my ____. It's all nonsense. Like what you like. Be happy when you're happy.

Has shown improvement. Practice oral communication skills. Needs to continue to develop creative thinking skills.

Mistakes and apologies

I hate being wrong. I have always hated being wrong since I was a child, and if I said something incorrectly, my older sibling would tease the living hell out of me. It wasn’t just joking banter, my mistakes were constantly being brought up and paraded in front of guests, my parents, friends. This resulted in me despising being wrong to the point that I would become stubborn even when I knew I was wrong, desperately trying to find a way to be correct.

10000

Milestones are marked arbitrarily. Solely decided on by human standards, made from personal beliefs of what is meaningful.

Is all this... bad? Having an excuse to celebrate is what makes life a little happier.

A year of protests

Momentum

I hate to admit it, but I often have a difficult time motivating myself. Starting something new is probably one of the most difficult steps, and without real vested interest or immediate results, the desire to jump in is often held back with self-doubt.

One of the goals I have for my own personal development is continuing to fight through these feelings, especially when they are overwhelming, and doing the things I always wanted to try even when they may result in failure, or worse... mediocrity.

Let's get the ball rolling.
