People are finding out about Lee Joon Hyuk being a good actor now.

And I'm just all the more impressed with him.

You look at clips of Stranger and he's so sly there. Perfect piece of ambiguous character. Leaner and meaner.

People brought out his city hunter era pics too. He was so foetus there😭

Designated Survivor is hot one. Didn't care he was the antagonist there. Way too hot for me to bother over that.

And now love scout. Just so soft. He enters the frame and you relax.

Anticipation

-

It's like waiting for the house to come down.

A fire burning in the basement.

We walk the floors with slippers on,

As to not scald our feet.

But we know the house will come down.

We know the fire will climb the walls.

We know this.

Yet sometimes,

When I sit alone, unable to breathe,

The smoke in my lungs and unbearable heat.

I'm grateful for your small talk..

About the weather.

a poem a day | day 4

“yum”

in the morning i cleaned.

washed all the dishes that had

been sitting out for too long.

wrote a grocery list.

cut peppers and onions precisely

and didn’t even use it as an excuse

to cry.

ate the non-powdered peanutbutter

on normal bread and didn’t feel like

i had to be sad about it.

and i didn’t weigh anything

except the dry pasta (116g)

but i tried not to and

that was enough

at least for today.

find me here and here

Mindful hands

I'm scared of my hands

They break and crush things

Acting like they're a man's

I touch my skin with roughness

Not caring if it breaks

I write about people I do not wish to remember

It's like it has a mind of its own

Wanting to write about things I feel so deeply in my bones

Hands are scarred

From my right to my left

I am scared of my hands. They have a mind of its own

And I don't know where they belong

They push, crush, grab and punch

Slap, hold, and latch I can't seem to care

Because it's better that way

I cannot touch the love my life I'd rather hurt myself than her

So, I'm thankful for my scarred hands

Because maybe, I'd find a little control

And not touch her yet

I won't break her

No, not just yet

K-DRAMA TAKEAWAYS

A Poem A Day

“A Poem a Day” is a unique Korean drama that beautifully blends everyday struggles with the healing power of poetry. It explores themes of empathy, resilience, and finding joy in small moments. Here are some of the lessons the series imparts:

1. Healing Power of Words: The show emphasizes how poetry can be a source of comfort, reflection, and healing. It illustrates that, even in the busyness of life, a few well-chosen words can help people make sense of their emotions, offering comfort and clarity in difficult times.

2. Finding Meaning in Everyday Moments: As the main characters work through the ups and downs of their lives and jobs, they find beauty in small moments, from patients’ stories to quiet breaks in the hospital. The show reminds viewers that even in mundane routines, there’s always something meaningful if you look closely.

3. The Importance of Empathy in Healthcare: Since the story revolves around healthcare professionals, it highlights the need for empathy in caregiving. Physical therapists, nurses, and radiology techs may have different roles, but they each contribute to patients’ healing. Their dedication reflects that healthcare is not just about medical treatment; it’s about understanding and supporting patients on a human level.

4. Pursuing Your Passion Despite Obstacles: Woo Bo-young, the main character, dreams of being a poet but ends up as a physical therapist due to financial pressures. Her journey reflects the struggle many people face between passion and practicality, encouraging viewers to keep their dreams alive, even if they can’t pursue them full-time.

5. Support and Friendship Matter: The camaraderie among the hospital staff highlights the importance of a supportive work environment. They lean on each other in hard times, sharing laughter and tears, which shows how friendship and support can make even the toughest jobs more bearable.

6. Self-Compassion and Acceptance: The characters often face self-doubt and struggle with their own imperfections. The show teaches that it’s okay to not have everything figured out and to be kind to oneself. Self-acceptance is a process, and each person’s journey is unique.

7. Growth Through Hardships: The show emphasizes that hardships are not just setbacks but opportunities for growth. Each character faces personal and professional struggles that challenge them, but ultimately these experiences lead to self-discovery and maturity.

8. Expressing Emotions Freely: Through poetry, the show encourages expressing emotions without fear of judgment. It reminds viewers that it’s okay to feel deeply, to laugh, to cry, and to share their feelings openly. Bottling up emotions only creates more stress, whereas sharing them can be liberating.

9. Finding Beauty in Routine: Working in a hospital can be exhausting and repetitive, but the show finds beauty in these routines. From patients’ small victories to supportive conversations between coworkers, it reminds us that the most ordinary days can hold the most meaningful experiences.

10. Embracing Imperfection: The characters are all flawed, yet they learn to embrace their imperfections and find peace within them. The show gently suggests that perfection isn’t the goal; instead, accepting oneself as a work-in-progress is part of a fulfilling life.

"A Poem a Day" is a gentle reminder of the beauty and depth in everyday life. It encourages viewers to find inspiration in simple moments, to remain compassionate, and to embrace both the challenges and poetry within their lives.

[oforalways]

if you are a glass of cabernet

then I long for the day

my drain becomes wine stained

and after a sip I pour you away

[poem-for-each-day]

A tribute.

Perhaps you've lost something,

Come on everyone has, haven't they?

Perhaps it was your house,

Money or car, perhaps your job?

Family, pets, lovers?

Stood up at the altar?

Dirt over your mother?

Taken the dog out?

Perhaps your child was never four,

Perhaps you lost everything.

After the rain, comes the sun.

Every Friday I sit and look out the window and at the curtains and I think maybe today, maybe today, maybe today I'll tell her how I feel like a moldy peach, a cover to my rotten center and how that feeling doesn't ever really go away no matter how much I pretend it's not there. Maybe today she'll give me the cure to myself, the words that will finally fix me. Maybe today, maybe today I'll leave here and never come Back because I will feel my moldy center leaving me. Maybe today, maybe next week, maybe in a month or a year. Maybe today.

a poem a day | day 3

today’s poem was so forced. i haven’t wanted to write ever since i got bad news yesterday. maybe i’m wrong about having bad january’s but back in 2016 i crashed from a manic episode and watched 11 seasons of grey’s anatomy in 3 weeks. now that i think about it i could probably write an essay about all the weird shit that has happened to me every january from 2013 to now. hmm.. maybe i will.

the wonder years have that one lyric that goes “god damn you look holy bathed in the january light” and i try to see january’s like that sometimes cause i know of that *specific* light but let’s just be honest: january‘s are not real.

“january feels like a whole fucking year”

i don’t think i’ve ever been happy

in january, except for maybe once,

at the beach in georgia

with the boy i loved once (i think)

eleven january’s ago

i preformed a blood oath

in the school lunchroom

and for the longest time i thought

it meant something

but now i don’t.

i haven’t lived in the city long enough

to associate weather with nostalgia

so i just feel cold and tender and

rotten and ready for blood (again)

you can follow me here and here

Write.

2023.03.05

To put scribbles on a paper. To make thoughts and emotions visible. Sharing. Thinking. A sequence of hand movements, going from left to right, right to left or top to bottom. To express oneself, to leave a mark, to organize the abstract and intangible, to choose, to be creative, to give an opinion. (The shy person's preferred way of communication.)

A way to live, a reason for living. To write. To be. To be remembered.

Prompt: describe writing in as many ways as possible Collage and poetry by me.
