A YouTube video you absolutely love and describe why:
10 Things I Have Learned About the Sea is one of my favorite videos. It isn’t a YouTube video, but Vimeo is pretty much the same thing, right? This video is so beautiful and calming. Everything the videographer wrote about the sea is so true. Watching this makes me really long for the sea ):
These are my favorites:
The sea is both...

What color are your favorite pair of flip flops?
Black…my favorite pair was navy blue but I lost those so black is the next best.

Lisbon, Portugal!
It’s official! My housemate Laura and our friend Paulina are going to Lisbon, Portugal over spring break! (:
We found a really nice hostel with everything that we wanted included in the price (triple-bed private room, lockers, linen, breakfast, free internet access, etc.). I’ve never stayed in a hostel before, so this will be an interesting experience. Hopefully we’ll meet...

Places you want to visit, and why:
What a perfect prompt! In a couple of weeks it’ll be spring break (: I’m going to Lisbon, Portugal with my housemate Laura and Paulina, a friend from the program. Other places I want to go to are:
Rome, Italy > I’m always fascinated by ancient architecture, and Rome is one of the places that famous for it. I’d love to visit the city...

Reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein for the first time. What an amazing book. She must have had such a fun time writing Frankenstein’s monster’s backstory.
Friday’s trip to the Cotswalds.
The gorgeous, gorgeous weather Bath has been having for the past 3 days (although homework has kept me inside, boo).
Beginning spring break plans to Istanbul, Turkey (:
Skyping with...

A passage from a book that touched you:
“Not all those who wander are lost.” -The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
I go back and forth between this quote and my current “everything may happen” quote by Seneca; this quote is also written up on my wall back home in Boston. For a very long time, I’ve known that I wanted to be a writer. I just don’t really...

THE FRUIT HERE IS DELICIOUS!
Never in my life have I eaten as much fruit as I am eating here now. Mmm, I just ate 4 satsuma fruits and 7 strawberries. The strawberries are so sweet! Tomorrow I’m going shopping for groceries because we received our food stipend today (: more mangoes, more green grapes, more satsuma fruit and strawberries! Had a pasty for lunch, too ♥
I love this country.

what's in a name?
My name means “alive.” There’s this song that I think of whenever I think of the meaning of my name. Here are some lyrics, from Tomorrow by Tablo (ft. Taeyang):
“사랑은 받는다고 갖는 게 시간은 걷는다고 가는 게 사람은 숨 쉰다고 사는 게 아닌데.”
Basically the last two lines translates to “breathing doesn’t mean you’re living.” You can be breathing but sitting at home, simply...

If you didn’t have an age, how old you think you are:
This question doesn’t really make any sense at all! A lot of people think I’m younger than I am (or the youngest child), but since I know myself pretty well, this answer is going to be biased, ahaha. I honestly think I’m a 20 year old. I can take care of myself in terms of cooking and cleaning, things like that, but I...

There’s a part that always hurts. It’s a mixture of ache and longing, or maybe it’s an ache that comes from the longing; you know what you want but you don’t know if you’ll get it. And that’s terrifying. But always, always, the good outweighs the bad.
And the good did outweigh the bad, at least it did for those few moments, and then you let me go without...
