"He who wears the crown must bear its weight." I heard this phrase from an ongoing Korean Drama.
I think this is the theory I live by.
I keep telling myself that it's important to be responsible and accountable. For no apparent reason, I find myself burdened. The root cause of all my worries is simply because I contemplate and procrastinate things. I don't know the order of preference but is it even important?
I was told to do something, begin somewhere. Is it that big of a deal? I guess he was right, it is. Otherwise, I won't be sitting here wasting my time over it.
I wanted to reflect. I just couldn't figure out how.
I gradually tried to live in the moment.
I let go of myself, in the process I lost it completely.
Time felt a little less slower. Life became fast paced.
Winter break was around the corner. I have applied for internships¹ at various places, all far away from home.
Meanwhile my boyfriend kept telling me to take it easy and slow down a bit. I had no choice but to call quits with him.
I wanted to find myself. My own principals, likes and dislikes were unknown to me. I went on to look for myself.
A place called Sinwa called me in with a great opportunity. I packed my stuff and left for the city.
