May was odd, congenial, and very short-lived. Aside from the obvious benefits of the pre-summer delights, I've entered the month of June feeling a little cheated because May came and fled too soon. In the past week or two, I've unknowingly meandered down a twilight zone where I have been living by day-to-day instincts. What's right? What's wise? What's best? It is by grace alone because I have unwittingly chucked my life manual out the window this month. Grace — it's been the hefty theme this season, and my goodness life takes you on some detours.
I think that's besides the point though. When I look back in my journal, a lot has happened. Nothing I had planned for, obviously. Last month, I had planned to follow through on a series of media projects, yet youtube never made it out of my camera, and blogposts never have been released. If not within a time frame of inspirational propulsion, ideas pass and remain in draft history...forever. On the flip side, a ton of unexpected things came my way — namely friendships, traveling (Jeju!), and some farfetched surprises. I'm currently in a spin as to how I've ended up here, but here I am, dazed, tad disoriented, yet excited.
If anything, last month I've recognized the depth to which I treasure my relationships. Community is foundational. I'm thankful for the people who have been planted alongside me here, in Seoul. I've been absorbing, working on things to the point of having to mentally recalibrate what is normal — or at least trying not to be so judgmental towards what I don't know. (Sorry for being vague) And in the process, I have people who challenge me, love me, and ask me questions to keep me accountable, sane, and always laughing... always.
Anyways, I get a hunch of a hunch that summer is going to be amazing. Even life changing perhaps. Keep your eyes open and hearts ready, step out and lets make it wild.
