I’m trying to muster up a smile to film 🙂 (Patreon)

Here’s an exercise I created for myself.

It is true that I am in a place of despair right now.

So I looked at a photo from one of my happier days this past month.

I look at the photo and I ask “is that still me?”

And even though that me who can smile confidently is buried, I’m still here underneath all this mess.

With K-Pop culture we have a lot of smiling photo cards of idols or we look to idols to shine brightly for us, but let’s also remember to look towards ourselves for encouragement as well.

Even if you find it difficult to smile now, there will be a day when you smile again. Just try to remember a day that made you smile. And if you can’t remember, just look at a photo of a day where you smiled brightly.

For me it was the coming of the spring tide in Korea with a light drizzle that made me feel so… Happy.
