musing #5

 grief


Grief is rocking out to Just One Day by BTS, singing your favorite lyrics which are the only ones you know. 
Haruman neowa naega hamkkehal su itdamyeon
Haruman neowa naega sonjabeul su itdamyeon
Haruman neowa naega hamkkehal su itdamyeon
Haruman (Haruman) neowa naega hamkkehal su itdamyeon

And then, randomly, after singing the chorus for the umpteenth time, you remember who's hand you wish you were holding...and you just burst into tears. A heaving cry as though news broke yesterday. Five minutes ago. Just now. Because you wish you could hold your cousin, Tay's, hand one more time and show her what you've come to love by BTS because you two used to share music together. YouTube videos. CDs. But now you have to enjoy it with the memory of her so you cry and listen to more BTS to cheer up and it makes you smile even though just moments ago you heaved so hard you thought your chest would cave in. 

Anyhow, now, you sing along to Spring Day,

Bogo sipda, bogo sipda...

Maybe I should talk about the status of my works in progress (nonexistent)? No, no, I should start with the fact that I have been completely burnt out from work having covered a 5-month maternity leave and part of my recovery has been reconnecting with my roots by revisiting relics from childhood and re-immersing myself in spiritual practice. Yes, I think I'll begin there. Let's say, over the past four or so years, I have been putting a lot of work into myself. Back then, my angel of passion had full reign, which usually wasn't an issue until it was an issue. That means, being passionate isn't a problem in itself, but like anything, left unchecked...

musing #1

  holiday ready! 🎄 Estimated Reading Time: 3 min Since starting this blog back in November (published in December), I have been quietly working on a couple of posts in between staying afloat at work. By the second week of December, I pretty much had to set all of my projects to the side to make room for my work duties, and ensuring everything is in place before my 3-week vacation.  That said, I am looking forward to working on this surprise album post, but my work is very slow due to my vacation nails. As you can see from the image above, nothing about this set screams "I spend a good chunk of my time tapping keys", so though my work may be slow as a result of beauty, I shall trudge forward! I'll have plenty of time to focus on this project during the flight to visit my belle-famille (I prefer this term to "in-laws") anyway. The CD booklet pictured is a hint as to the subject of this surprise album post. Recently, I have been going through my parents...
