43. oyster
you know the saying. seize the day. let's go exploring. the great adventure awaits. the world is your oyster.
well, yeah. that's what i tried to do today. i did what i wanted to do.
i don't know. i feel like my taste buds are still developing. i want to train different parts of myself that i haven't tapped fully into compared to other things that i have, like writing or playing the violin. train, or develop. develop my visual abilities and acting abilities.
i feel like my taste buds are developing still with food. i just had some amazing food today. ricotta cheese and basil ham sandwich from paris baguette. 뽈락 튀김 rockfish tempura with makgulli. sublime pork jeju style barbecue (don't ask me what makes it jeju style) with hanllasan soju. a korean small stage blackbox musical.
i sent emails. i posted a poster on my wall. i sent emails. i made a decision to stay. i made flight plans. i matched with a baddie on hinge. i took a trip to hipster's paradise and bought me a big shirt for 20,000 won. so like $17. i went to a record store and bought me some CDs. i walked on a treadmill. i rode a taxi with my dad, twice.
quite eventful, quite wonderful, quite sudden. and now over.
it's something other than sad. other than melancholy. and something other than happy. other than joyful.
i'm doing great. i'm doing well. i'm living young and free and trying my best. my best. i gave it all today. thank god i can. i feel glad. to be beholding this pearl. it's covered in sand and kelp so it's not obvious to the eye, but i do see. it's beautiful.
i'm trying my best to be patient and let the sand and kelp move by itself.
dude what am i even saying? i have no idea what i'm talking about anymore.
the world is your oyster.
