Comfort Of A Stranger

I'm an optimist in the crowd

Yet, I'm not when I'm alone

Acting like I'm fine

Truly when I am dying deep inside

Sometimes I want someone who will embrace me

Then the happiness would last

The loneliness would leave my soul

I don't need someone deep

Don't hide your sincerity

We can share our sorrows

One person with me is enough

The rest is not important

Open your heart

I'll borrow it

And if we cannot be together

I'll promise to give it back

Spontaneity

Keshi has been one of my favourite artists EVER. I don't know if has to do with the fact that his music resonates with the teenage angst of my heartbreak that I still hold onto or the fact that I have found an idol whom I share a heritage with. I found him when I was in the depths of my despair and have never let go since.

A meet and greet with Keshi was the reason for my spontaneity of a six-hour-long drive to Austin from Dallas, there and back of course, and the development of my character. As someone who craved structure and the fabricated image of a clean student, Austin in a day changed me to seek leniency within myself and spontaneity.

This is not a review of Keshi but of a city, I truly got to experience.

I would be lying if I said my decision to attend the meet and greet was truly spontaneous. It was actually planned a week in advance when I found out Keshi was having a meet and greet. Austin was planned to weave around my classes and relieve the built-up anxiety of the consequence I would have to face for skipping class. But I digress

We went to two places that day. Waterloo Records and 돼지포차 (구)Together Restaurant. While passing through the city and hitting up those spots, I would say that Austin is a city of old and new. There is old architecture mixed with new concepts in the ever-changing city. Waterloo Records and 돼지포차 (구)Together Restaurant is the embodiment of the previous sentence.

Waterloo Record is a record store in Austin est. 1982. The store is still thriving today offering oldies by goodies records with an influx of new and emerging records of seasoned and rising artists. When you walk into the store there is a homely atmosphere as the employees greet you. The day I came Bad Bunny's record was plastered on the shelf and other modern artists such as Melanie Martinez and Jay Z. The other side of the store was filled with old records, some valuable today, of artists I can't recall. The store was separated by the old and the new but merged somewhere in between with the vast selection of genres they could put both generations into. Waterloo Records is worth the visit when in Austin as everyone can find something they are interested in. 8/10

돼지포차 (구)Together Restaurant is a hidden Korean restaurant in the older part of Austin. Our decision to eat here was truly spontaneous. Compared to the location of Waterloo Records where you can find a Whole Foods with a rooftop or a restaurant serving charcoal waffles, 돼지포차 (구)Together Restaurant looms in the part of the city that seems forgotten or left behind when change outpaces stability. 돼지포차 (구)Together Restaurant offers a variety of Korean food that can't be found anywhere else in Austin. While many new Korean fusion eateries may try to copy the essence of Korean cuisine through bulgogi and kimchi that caters to the Western palette, 돼지포차 (구)Together Restaurant offers a depth of Korean cuisine that may only be found in Korea or a Korean household. I ate the soondae gopchang meal with my friends and it was amazing. The texture of blood sausage and intestine may turn away the Western palette that is used to the meat and deboned parts of an animal but it was a comforting experience for me. 10/10

Austin unlocked change in me. At the moment it made me feel pathetic that I was a college student relying on the validation that being a "good" student gave me. But Austin made me realize that my old ideology needed to change. Like the city, I need to implement the new lesson and experiences of my life to thrive as a person. It is okay to roam out of your comfort zone but still refer back to the foundation that makes you who you are.

Austin is worth the visit if you are in Texas and will teach you worthy or fun life lessons you won't forget. 9/10

Talking To The Moon by Kream

A song of despair that calls on a love far away. Talking To The Moon reminds me every day that physical distance does not hurt as much compared to the distance of time. While we can run to those we love, hundreds of miles away. We can’t run to those we have left in the past.

Time is the killer of life. In time I wished to get my life back. Time has me wishing to the moon to reunite me with those I have lost. The people I have neglected out of fear, pain, the trauma that encompasses the make-up of who I am.

Time is the killer of hope. For years Kream had me hoping that he would hear me on the other side of the moon. Kream gave me hope that one day I can undo the wrongs of all my mistakes. The mistake of not being honest. The mistake of isolation. The mistake of hiding the truth. The mistake of living in fear. I could go on with all of the regrets and mistakes I’ve made, as they only have grown over the years. The moon promised me that my hopes would come true as long as I kept it company. For all those years and nights, no matter how tired or beaten I was. I would always find time to talk to the moon holding onto my end of the deal.

But time is a liar. I held on for so long and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t still holding on. Time played with my hopes like it was the new edition of Heartbreak released on Nintendo. All time did was teased me with the high of a “hello, let's be friends” but left me with the sadness of a friendship that was dead, to begin with.

My honest opinion of Talking To Moon is it's a great song if you are looking for hope but need a reminder of reality. It’s a song that would heal your wounds but would break you over time. It’s a reminder that your hopes of closure could come or that would be a fool waiting for something that has died. All in time the longer you listen the farther you stray from your hopes.
