come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
Slow down a bit.
Take a whiff of that breeze.
Stare at the sky imbuing with orange sorbet.
Let go of the sand you held on to.
Rejoice in the memory of their smile.
Take a sip of a warm tea.
Close your eyes.
Savor the warmth.
Let it spread.

If you keep digging deeper, faster enough,
you will reveal what is hurtful to your soul.
Unstoppable and irretrievable, it will churn.
Its growling grip keeping your eyes
searching for a respite.
Wrestling with it, you will learn to master it.
Once you have come out the other side,
You will have the eyes to see beyond surface,
hear the rhythm of the past, into the future,
and spine to withstand it all, with wisdom.
Keep your eyes set forward, and dig on.

Our love was tangible.
And it still resides inside.
It will grow and transform,
a foundation to another wonder.
But it’s undeniable it started here.
So I am grateful for the time we had.
I will carry it in my heart on my journey,
and bring a brighter light to the world,
letting them know what we had was good,
and that I am elevating this to the next level.

It’s here, but not from around here.
The fire is still within you.
But the air, the light, the smell, the warmth all defy your memory.
Remember, all that has happened in the past does not go away.
Imprinted are the fragments of moments held in silence:
The incessant crashing of ocean waves,
Small inextinguishable ball of candle fire,
Crackling sounds of ice under your feet.
With pure honesty — no more petty calculations — implore what matters.
Not for others’ approval, not for vainglory, but for the art of life.
Decide for yourself how this chapter will go.

마치 다시 너를 마주하는것 같아.
앞만 보고 달렸더니 어느새
여기까지 왔네.
휘황찬란한 질주이었어.
우리가 바라보던 이상과는 조금 다르지만
나는 우리의 꿈을 나름대로 그려봤어.
솔직하게 말하면 최근엔 조금 잊으려고도 해봤어.
현실에 맞춰 살아가자고, 일단 살고 보자고 그랬어.
그런데 그게 아니더라. 그렇게 안되더라.
나, 다시 그 꿈을 쫒아갈까봐.
우리의 심장을 뛰게 해주었던 그 꿈을.
되돌이킬 수 없는 과거에서 이젠 머물지 않고
다시 그 꿈을 짊어지고 앞으로 나아가갈꺼야.
그 안에 있는 희망, 사랑, 즐거움 그 모든걸 안고
만나는 사람들에게 전해줄꺼야.
그 행복한 순간은 헛된게 아니게 될꺼야.
고마워, 같이 꿈을 키워줘서.
지켜봐줘.

이제서야 알 것 같다.
이것은 혼자서 해낼 수 있는 일이 아니라는걸.
오로지 함께 해야만 이루어낼 수 있는 일이라는걸.
시간이 허락한다면
앞으로 같이 나아가고 싶다.

강아지똥아,
네 모습을 부끄러워 하지마.
네 색깔과, 온기와, 냄새를 똑바로 바라봐.
네가 예전엔 어떤 모습이었을지는 모르겠지만
지금의 자신을 받아들이자.
너도 쓸모가 있단말이지?
걱정하지 말고
세상을 바라보고 즐겨보자.
아, 그리고 이건 기억해.
넌 혼자가 아니야.

For those who have lived longer,
the weight of knowledge weighs heavier.
Cascading threads of stories, questions,
and evidence weave a lonesome tapestry.
We wrap it around our shoulders,
as we walk towards the star
one step at a time,
one thread at a time.

Share the meal.
Have a heart-to-heart talk.
Stay together at all times,
in spirit, in principle, in creed.
Carry each one’s own load, and the some.
Come back.
Remember your own.

Know this: that kid in the corner of the room
who quietly slurps down handful of honey,
he’s been the one protecting us.
Protect him. Be kind to him.
Guide him. Be happy for him.
Embrace him. Be there for him.
