65.

I’m wistful and I yearn for places I’ve never been to.

I’m quite serious about taking up East Asian Studies and Foreign Languages so that I can work in either South Korea or Japan. I’m deeply fascinated with both cultures and my fondness goes a lot farther than just the pretty pictures you see on my blog and my insatiable love for the Korean music industry and anime.

I don’t know but there’s just a prickling thought at the back of my mind that I belong there, not here. Every time I see the beautiful chaos that is Tokyo, the bright lights of Seoul, the quirky charm of Shinsekai, the underground music scene in Busan, or the soft-spoken beauty of the cherry blossoms in Osaka, I die a little inside because I’m stuck here when I could be out there. It’s not altogether a lovely feeling.

Hopefully someday, this longing will be replaced by belonging.
