Story Of My Life



I Love This Song, the lyrics, the melody, the instruments. Sounds like a 1960s song. Just Love it.

    You are a wonderful insightful person. You are lucky to have the friends you have. But friends, like any other relationship; family, boyfriend, husband,etc. takes work. That's the hard part. It's also the most rewarding and satisfying part.

Since moving to Korea, I have encountered  people who have come here and after a couple of years of living, have decided to make it their permanent home, and not return. They are called "Lifers". Some stay because they've met someone, or a person who has the same affinity for the country, or met a native, or simply enjoyed what the lifestyle had to offer as opposed to what they knew was awaiting upon their return back home. Being a "Lifer" however comes with these notions that anyone who travels for a year or more, or isn't interested in working just yet or getting married,  must  be running away from something. They are running away from life, escaping it. They must have been leading miserable, awful lives back home, or experienced a traumatic event that made them want to never look back. People assume that people who travel long term are running away from problems, from the inevitability of life. My own family and friends have asked me "Are you su...

Imagine a place where, by simply being there, boosts your confidence, uplifts your thoughts and broadens your mind so as to make room for the ambition and optimism that is about to inhabit/set in.  Imagine a place where the time you've spent there makes you realize who you are as a person and figure out what you want in life.  Imagine yourself coming back from a place where you've established a group of genuine friends, where you've adapted to the city's whereabouts as if it were the back of your hand, where planning trips was feasible in a few weeks and where you felt it was home...Why would you leave?   Alas, the countdown had begun: six weeks, four weeks, two weeks left... Not all good things have to come to an end, I thought, entertaining the idea to carry on another year.  Leaving a place where memories could not be duplicated, where even the low points were overshadowed by the...

After going back to practicing karate for two months, I decided to do something terrifying. Something I despised as a child: KARATE TOURNAMENTS! The thing is, tournaments are scary! Everybody has opponents they don’t like facing for fear of getting their ass whopped! I'm thinking the more I do it, the more I will get used to facing and controlling this fear which is basically what karate teaches you. Karate instills ethical principles and can have spiritual significance. It is also practiced for self-perfection, for cultural reasons, self-defense and as a sport (side note: In 2009, in the 121th International Olympic Committee voting, karate did not receive the necessary two-thirds majority vote to become an Olympic sport (see: IOC factsheet ). That would be amazing to watch! Also, did you know there are 50 million karate practitioners worldwide?) The type of tournament I'm taking part of is called  Jiyu K...
