Saturday Vacation

I just got back from a short short vacation in Busan with my folks.

I had never travelled out of Seoul for more than a day and Busan had exceeded my expectations in so so many ways.

That city is the 2nd largest in South Korea and is absolutely picturesque. Photos to follow suit in later posts. But for now,  I wanna take a second to remember some of the individuals I met there.

But I want to take my time to appreciate these individuals and make sure that what I express here does them justice.

So instead, here is a video by Beyoncé. The lyrics is actually something that I've struggled a lot with. From how I interpreted it, the whole idea of perfection is something society seems to be aiming towards. The concept of perfection is something we as a whole want, yet, when you go to different places, this "perfection" is varied. And then comes the plethora of expectations, demands, and especially the way in which we should be educating others and our future leaders.

I thought about this so much and struggled with it so much that I had considered writing my senior thesis on it.

Maybe I should do it, and get some closure. 

But for now, enjoy.

"My aspiration in life would be, to be happy" 
"we shine the light on whatever's worst.
Perfection is a disease of a nation.. it's the soul that needs a surgery"

Human Hump Day

Emily Dowell 

is a cancer survivor who created a set of empathy cards to help those giving support, but who seem to kinda make things a little less nice.. And while many of them help with supporting those with an illness, this one stood out and applies to also a normal daily encounter. 

Sadly, there's always some sort of expectation or standard to live up to, and in many cases, we'd get into a state of negativity that somehow gets us to think we're lesser than what we are, sometimes resulting in us branding ourselves as something less. So I thought this would be a good reminder that we're all human, shit happens, and shitty feelings occur..
