"You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to
be."
It's very strange
for me now, that in the US I was always doing something every day, almost every
second. My schedule was extremely busy that majority of my time was
occupied, and I didn't have to worry about occupying my time. The
fast-past life moves so quickly, to where you don't realize what's going on and
the little things that are happening around you.
My fast-past life
has slowed down tremendously, and I've been searching for ways to occupy the
free time I have. The little things that I didn't notice then, I notice
now. I've spent so much time on social media trying to "catch
up" on people and things, I started feeling like I was missing out on
things. My grandmother will be celebrating her 70th birthday next weekend, and
that's an event that hurts me to not be a part of. Trying to connect and
communicate with family and friends is difficult. I have moments where I
just want to communicate to family and friends, other times, it's anyone.
Now, you're probably thinking I'm homesick, lonely, and whatever else.
A possible explanation for a late blog post? NOPE. Just
wanted to share the reality. My life. Just telling you the
realness. It's not easy, and I don't want you to think for one bit that
I'm extremely merry and I'm in a Utopia world. I had to disconnect and
refocus my energy elsewhere to remain positive. Also, the month of March
was chaotic. I had the sniffles for a bit, tests and evaluations for students, the "lovely"
student (my educators know them) problems, and still trying to figure things
out. I am extremely content with where God has placed me and rest assure,
there are many adventures to come! ;)
Speaking of
adventures... I decided to step out this box I created.
Weekend Adventure
But this past
weekend, I decided to embark on a 15.25-mile journey (unknowingly). Was I
prepared for this journey? No. Did I have some expectations? Not really.
Destination:
Chungju Dam
I'll let the
pictures speak.
