you know, as i wrote it i could hear that there's more that i'm trying to say within this. i almost didn't publish cuz it didn't feel ready - but now i'm glad i did because it piqued interest. there's more to this to explore... so so much. xoxoxo!!
(Tone: Relaxed & Sincere) I so very much enjoyed reading your words, Bee! Thank you for this wonderful expression of where you are at/what you're currently moving through. Just reading your words felt like having a friend next to me, both of us relaxed, staring at the ceiling and just sharing what's pulsating between our hearts and minds...I appreciate you!
Re: Do we think it’s a phase, or am I forever devoted to Korean content from now on?- I know there are those who treat K-content as if it was made just for their entertainment...and while some may feel that way (if they choose to) I think, and will often say, there is so much wisdom and knowledge to learn from it...so much there to help one feel whole, safe, seen*...especially, for those suffering from the whiplash of brain rot and emotionally immature individuals screaming nonsense into microphones that's recorded/taped and subsequently blasted all over scrolling screens...but I digress. So, while some may view k-content as something to be consumed, others will recognize that behind every meal there's a cook, there's a buyer, there's a distributor, there's a farmer, there's a field, there's a plant, there's a seed...and those who can see that will never call it 'a phase' and treasure it beyond measure! 💜🖤✌🏼
This resonates with me. I still can't get enough exposure to Korean faces. I search them for nuances, personality, uniqueness, normalcy, humaness, history, culture, the effects of daily life, emotions. I'm not sure I understand why I do this, but "The eyes are the mirror of the soul and reflect everything that seems to be hidden; and like a mirror, they also reflect the person looking into them." — (Paulo Coelho). In learning to see the faces of Koreans as individuals, could I also be learning to see myself as well?
this one reads really earnestly. would be down to read more about this experience + tying it in with cinema xo
