I just joined Me2day. It’s very much like Twitter, except that everything is in Korean. Follow me if you join. :)

Anyway, so I made three friends (because it’s hard to keep up, everyone types very long Korean sentences that it makes me very dizzy). The first guy really kept me laughing because, oh my gosh, I just proved it. These Korean guys were so painfully honest, but you know that I prefer those kind of people. Unlike the guys here in our country, they would stay quiet and say nothing even if a booger is about to fall off from your nose. So here I translated everything in English.

g1: What’s that?
me: Nothing. My Korean is wrong right?
g1: yes. Hahahaha.
me: Haha! What do I do?
g1: How about slowly learning more? Hahaha!
me: Yeah, I’ll work hard.
g1: That’s okay. I’m not very good at other languages except Korean, but you did well.
me: Thanks!
g1: Hahaha, thanks to what. But Chiui, you really know the writing. Only barbarians can understand it. Hahaha! And maybe you could reply a bit faster? It takes you more than five minutes!
me: What’s with youuuu! I’m busy! hahahaha!

I dunno if the Barbarian thingy was true. Lol. So think twice before reading my tutorials. JUST KIDDING! I think he meant that my grammar was just awful that it made me look as if I’m speaking Barbaric Korean. :(
LOL LOL LOL

Writing is like crying dry. When you cry, your feelings stop being intangible. They liquidize. They become tears. When you cry, those tears don’t just fall. They come from your tear glands, and then they roll down your cheeks, chin, and then finally, they jump off your face. But the story doesn’t end there. They fall to the surface, stay, and evaporate in the air, traveling forever. However, the life story of a teardrop depends on how it was born from the gland- for sometimes we cry lying down, or sometimes we cry face down. We shed tears in different ways.

When you write, you can’t say what you want to say in just a few words, in such a short process. Every word you write is part of your writing’s life. Every word that you use makes it breathe. Every word is a teardrop. Every word carries a piece of your shattered heart. In the same way, every word is a glue that you can use to put yourself back together. When all of the words are put together, they make your feelings flow out of your wounded self. It’s like bleeding out your heartaches. It’s like laughing out your joy.

Crying through writing will hurt so much like peeing blood, but it will take you away to paradise.
