I was listening to the 1 of 1 album on my drive today, and thinking about how much they’ve done, how hard they’ve worked, how many different styles of music they’ve explored and made their own. Then “투명 우산 Don't Let Me Go“ came on and I just started crying, driving down the highway on a sort of rainy grey day, snow in the fields on either side.

I still remember when you first introduced me to their music (it feels like longer ago than it actually is, when I do the math properly), in that dusty theatre office, watching their videos and then blasting the tracks while working onstage. I remember going back to my apartment afterwards and watching the videos again, trying to understand why you liked them, and listening to their songs over and over, and then I liked them too. Their music remains, to me, the most interesting & intricate sound in kpop. I remember watching “One Fine Day” to get to know them, and all the members are so talented, and genuine, and kind, and I’m really heartbroken for them. They’ve all worked so hard. Jonghyun did so well. 

Sending you ❤️ ❤️ ❤️.

I mailed yours this morning. I was going to go to the post office sooner but then we got a lot of snow & ice and I looked outside and said, "Hmmm. Don't really want to put on pants." But I hope it travels to you quickly! And I look forward to yours when I pick up my mail at the end of break :)

P.S. You should take some more photos and post them (on here, or in actual post) so I can envision your undoubtedly picturesque city streets & snowy fields & all that.

The Story Behind the Blog Title

I love the Transcendentalists. As a matter of fact, if I type “tran” into a text message in my phone, T9 automatically prompts me with “transcendentalists”. That being said, my adoration for Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau knows no bounds. They were two crafty, brilliant men. 

  Side story: HDT was thrown in prison one time for refusing to pay his taxes. RWE went to visit him in jail. RWE said, “Look, Henry David. You don’t belong in prison. What are you doing here?” And HDT looked at RWE critically and queried, “No, Ralph Waldo. What are you doing out there?” Maybe it’s just how my eleventh grade US History teacher delivered that story, but it’s always stuck with me. Maybe it’s because Henry David had an aggressive neck beard. Who knows?

  Anywhosit, Ralph Waldo said, “Do not go where the path may lead. Go where there is no path and leave a trail.” Hence Leaving a Trail. http://www.LeavingaTrail.tumblr.com is  also my other blog (when one is not enough), which is mostly a collection of things that make me laugh or otherwise strike my fancy. So if you see these ramblings and are hopeless enamored by my obviously witty and marvelously poignant self, feel free to check that out too. :)
