trading one home for another
first we leave the womb for air
then the suburbs for the filthy city
in search of a better life
some of us just happen to leave entire countries”

“I am here and not here, real and not real... I am my others; we are one and we are many.”

“There is no absolute good when it comes to relationships, and it's perfectly healthy to have disagreements with friends and lovers from time to time. I just hope you learn to differentiate the parts from the whole. Just because you like one thing about a person, you don't need to like everything about them, and just because you don't like one thing about a person, it doesn't mean the person as a whole isn't worth your time.”
― Baek Se-hee, I Want to Die But I Want to Eat Tteokpokki
