some things my eyes opened to recently:

1. it's hard to make it to the top as a solo female artist in Korea. very very few have gotten there w/o an sexy image. i‘m talking, for pure talent and originality.

2. singer songwriters. when they do it right, i feel like i'm getting a glimpse to their divine makeup. like how their hearts look like. it's an honor and joy, and i want to get there too one day with my artistry.

3. speaking of the above thoughts, check out this new female artist in korea. #BIBI. i think she'll go to great heights in the industry. <3 "BINU BINU BE NEW"

I’ve been waiting for her music and I'm such a sucker for ascribing meaning into things. Her 1989esque mood is back, perhaps with a bucket of rainbow and unicorns. But tbh this feels more like a time travel backwards with spazzed up colors than a move forward. Or maybe it’s just a reflection of how I’ve outgrown some things </3

"I have this theory about hair

It's literally old pieces of you

It's really thick

I felt like things get caught in it

It holds a lot of energy

I find a lot of therapy"

In order to make a relationship last, you really have to flow with a person as they change. Give them space. My friend always told me about his grandfather who was with his wife for 60 years before she passed. His grandfather said that through all that time, his wife changed so much it felt like he had been with 8 different people by the end. But he said the secret to making it last was that through all those changes, he never suffocated his wife with his own idea of who he expected her to be. Rather he loved, fully, every new woman she became.

일기예보엔 구름들만 떠 있어

우울이 눈물이란 비를 내리면

우산으로도 막을 수가 없었지

발밑에 잠긴 거울 속 내 모습은

무언가 바라보고 있어도

와이퍼처럼 눈을 깜빡거려도

흐릿해져만 가는 너의 기억을

난 계속 붙잡고만 싶었어

My life is the story - and often the tragedy - of the solitary woman, her woes, her importance, the unequal and fascinating battle she has waged with herself, with men, and with the attractions, the weaknesses and the dangers that spring up everywhere.

It irritates me when I hear people say that I’ve been lucky. No one has worked harder than me. Those who dream up legends are lazy folk; if they weren’t, they would go and investigate more deeply, instead of inventing things. The notion that anyone could construct what I have built up, without working, as if by magic, by rubbing Aladdin’s lamp and simply making a wish, is nothing but pure imagination. (Pure…or impure) What I say here will not change anything, in any case: nothing.

Resonate

Creating something beautiful is easy.

But for the beauty to speak so loud it opens up something inside and confronts the tension of unconfronted things?

That's hard.

For something to speak, touch and transform. That takes labor and work. It doesn't come easy. 

It comes from someone who persevered and experienced victory in that tension. They broke through something and something birthed.
