Sometimes I Get Overwhelmed By The Vastness Of Things I Want To Be, Do And Achieve.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the vastness of things I want to be, do and achieve.

I want to be the girl reading Anna Karenina in a dimly lit cafe and losing herself in poetry and philosophy every night. Yet, I also want to be sharp and analytical and save lives with a scalpel in my hand. I want to travel the world and surprise people with how many languages I can speak - drink wine and watch ballet in France, explore abandoned castles in Scotland, feel the centuries of history in Italy and Greece, learn to surf in Hawaii or Australia. I want to have an attic studio where I can make art and laugh with my lover about the funny-looking portrait as I can never get the face proportions quite right. I want a house away from the city and a horse so that I can roam the fields. But I also want to live right in the middle of the city and admire the skyline and the skyscrapers every night. And the list goes on and on…

They say follow your passion but which one do I follow if there are only 24 hours in a day? I know I won’t be able to do all of the things I dream of but I personally object to having to limit myself.

Korean Emphasis 아주 vs 너무 and others

it feels like these two words are interchangable but then I wondered if they’re similar to “many and “much”, with similar meanings but used in different contexts. so I had to look it up and it seems theres is a bit of nuance to them! 

매우: very 아주: very, completely, a lot, a step above 매우 너무: too, or excessively 완전: completely 정말: really, truly  진짜: really, genuine, more informal than 정말 (but not by much) 되게: (not to be confused with 되게하다 which comes from 되다) strongly, so much, very much

너무 is typically used is negative situations (too expensive, too spicy, etc) and 아주 is used with positive situations. Now people have started to use 너무 positively or sarcastically like how you would say “shes too pretty” its framed negative but its a compliment and positive, this is more casual and close to slang so its used like this in informal contexts

the difference between 정말 and 진짜 isnt much theyre pretty synonymously used it seems but 정말 means more being truthful (정 for truth/right 말 for speech) and 진짜 is means like genuine (진 from 眞 for genuine 짜 for a thing) so I guess you can think of it along the lines of ‘for real?’

Me.Myself.and.I

It sucks that sometimes my thoughts wonder off and surprises me by figuring out no one really knows me and I'm all alone in this world.... maybe someone will come along and support me but all there is at this point in time is loneliness...
