Live in Love

Eyes wide shut

I live in a country that is torn into two. We are one, yet divided. We are split, yet attached. We are Korea, yet we are ‘South’ and we are ‘North’. I am actually uncertain whether I can call our “brothers”, “us”. Koreans are taught of its history from a very early age. From the moment we can locate the motherland on a map, we learn that our other half is, in fact, “not of us”. We are taught that we are family, yet that we are enemies. We are taught that our government and many charities send tonnes of donations over, yet that all men are sent to the army for the 20-months compulsory training, preparing for the unknown attack we may get from our kinsmen.

Like watering a poppy, small actions can make all the difference

(Photo by Shane Rounce on Unsplash) A newly purchased poppy was bringing life to my room. When I returned later in the day, the plant had wilted. It was fine just a few hours ago, and now it hung its head. I decided to try watering it, and almost immediately, it popped right up. I realized that sometimes, I forget that it doesn t take much to bring life back to a situation. A small act can make all the difference. This seemingly unremarkable act came to mind as I thought about how overwhelming the news feels these past months: the seven-year war in Yemen, with children starving at an unprecedented rate; the COVID-19 pandemic overtaking India; ongoing attempts to keep alive the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen; continuing gun violence; increasing racial attacks, especially against Asians; and attempts to invest trillions of dollars into our economic system.

Confessions of an untiring procrastinator

When was the last time I didn’t leave things to the last minute? Whether it be the piled-up laundry that needs to be sussed or an important assignment due the following week, I stretch out my ‘carefree’ leisure time as much as possible to avoid the troubles my duties bring. Call it ‘living-in-the-moment’ if you will, but honestly, this is just a toxic habit. I do not know when it started, but what I know for certain is that it looks like it is getting worse. Tireless tug-of-war It used to be simple worksheets when I was little. Numbers frustrated me and difficult reading comprehension questions drained every ounce of energy I had, so counting the days until the due date for every worksheet I was given, was a must.
