Sometimes I just want to smash all my work to pieces, but I'm like 깝치지마 나 자신아 ^_^

사람은 행복한 길을 고르는 게 아니라
아이러니하게도
익숙한 상처로 돌아가는 경우가 많다

There are many days when I jot things down in my note.
When time passes and I read back what I wrote, there are moments when I can't quite remember what moment, what emotional state, I was in.
A distance forms between the me who wrote it and the me who reads it.

It is a joy to be hidden,
but a disaster not to be found.

That a person's understanding of themselves never happens in real time
it's always delayed, unfolding as the present self keeps reinterpreting the past self

엄마랑 통화하다가 들은 말.
"너는 성공이 아니라 자아실현이 목표인 사람이다."
자아실현이 성공이지 않을까 생각하는 나
나의 성공과 세상의 성공은 조금 다른듯

Having failed to find our true worth, we try to prove our existence by adorning ourselves with ornaments
the ornament of a job title, the ornament of a salary, the ornament of connections

How many emotions do we go through in a single day?
Can we accurately grasp and define the feelings we experience each day?
If, when we feel an emotion, we could recognize and define that emotion
would our actions, our lives, get even a little better?
What happens when we put a name to an emotion?
Neuroscientists call this "affect labeling"
the moment you put an emotion into words, activity in the amygdala (the brain's threat-response center) actually decreases.
In other words, the act of recognizing and naming an emotion itself lowers the intensity with which it sweeps you away.
Psychologist Brené Brown put it this way
"If we can't name it, we can't manage it."
I think it's less that things "get better" and more that we get dragged around by our emotions less.
The emotion doesn't disappear
a small space just opens up between the emotion and me.
And in that space, choice happens.
Like taking a photo
recording, even very briefly, the sensations or thoughts that pass through the day.
It doesn't matter whether it's a note, a sketch, or a photo.
No aim of turning it into work just starting from holding onto what I felt today.

I resented it, but looking back, was it actually luck?
Life is a mess and I can't understand it but it still feels worth something
"We cannot live life forwards, but we can understand it by looking back."

과거가 현재를 도울 수 있는가
현재의 나는 의식, 무의식 속에서 과거를 재료로 쓰고있으며
미래에서 재료가 될 무언가를 겪고 있는중이겠지
나와 세계가 부딪힌 마찰속에서 생겨난 흔적

I love my cursed freedom
Freedom has always come first.
I know how cruel it can be,
and still,
I choose it.
I love my cursed freedom
without it,
I disappear.
