Random Thoughts

It’s funny how the most, simplest, idiotic things can crack me into full of laughter and happiness
I’m starting to appreciate LA a little bit more. The “ghetto” gives this place a bit of characteristic that I’ll never forget
and I think I’m starting to like One Direction….

It seems like Korean guys in LA are more respectful towards their elder guy friends and calls them 형, which translate “older brother” in Korean. I’m still trying to adjust to hearing that term instead of my own name, but I’m starting to like it a bit more and finding it rather charming. Although, it’s still strange to see someone twice my size calling me “older brother”, just because I’m only a few months older than he is. I also used to hate hearing girl saying “oppa” to their older guy friends, but after hearing it so many times, it doesn’t seem as bad as I thought it was. But anyhow— maybe I should make it a habit to call my older Korean guy friends 형, too.

# "I want to know you. You seem like someone worth knowing. Every day I feel like I’m surrounded by people with hard edges and sour faces but I get the sense that you’re different. Too often people seem to think that they have the answers to everything. Their faces are trapped in permascowls and they can’t be bothered with anything besides their own narcissism. You aren’t like that. You still ask questions. You’re still looking for the answers."
— Ryan O’Connell, I Want To Know You

Being around by people, with my soul caged inside, drives me completely mad. It leaves my thoughts in despair and eager to be set free. As the time ticks, so does my patience. Words start to decay and become futile. Nothing starts to make sense and you only get bits of pieces, and all the energy has been drained out of you.

It’s tough— being an introvert.
