#THROWBACK || SEOUL 2013



That night I was dressed up as sailor moon, met a girl named Luna, and contemplated buying a gigantic shark with Tina and Hyunsik.

Walking home alone and taking a detour through Sinchon a few schoolboys across the street were elbowing eachother, after some intense whispering one steps out and stammers out “You look great”.

The blush and nervous giggle I got in return when I replied “You look great too!” was worth it.

FINDING PURPOSE AND DIRECTION || BEGINNINGS



I started this blog a few months ago with the intention of actually using it, but I realized pretty quickly that my skills and knowledge to contribute with interesting content was in (at least my own opinion) very lacking.

2014 saw many downs for me personally. Struggling with your physical health takes a toll on you mentally; struggling with mental health takes so much out of you physically. And when you have to motivate yourself constantly to just do the things that you actually do, finding time for blogging gets pushed away.

It had some upsides to it by the end of the year, I got to team up with my best snark buddy Sangha of Strange Seasons to provide some useless but very entertaining commentary on this season of Mnet's Show Me The Money. And I got to hang out with my best girls from Stockholm, one of them being Anna of indiefulROK



It was while waiting for Jambinai to play in Copenhagen that I brought up the blog to Anna again. Wondering what I could use it as and finding myself in a position where my interests didn't seem translatable to a platform like this. Complaining with "I lost my edge when it comes to writing, I just dance! That's what I do.".

In there I had my answer.

A dancer should always track themselves somehow, keep a journal. And with my issues of keeping myself motivated and finding purpose and a goal with my dancing, I realized that this was my opportunity to finally do just that. I feel like I failed myself and my own growth this year and part of it is probably because of the bubble that I shut myself into this year, but now that 2014 is coming to an end I want to start 2015 with a fresh mindset and a harder working me.

Here's to me finally moving in the right direction.
