일/ 일상에서 사람은 현실/이상, 즉흥/계획 논리/감정이 나누어 번갈아가며 작동하기 때문에 나는 항상 이렇다~ 라고 정의하긴 참 어렵다 뭐든 과몰입은 역시 좋지 않은듯

In work/everyday life, people alternate between reality/ideal, impulse/decision, logic/feeling, so it’s pretty hard to be like “I’m always like this~” and define yourself that way. Whatever it is, believing in something too much is, as expected, probably not good.

                               You guys aren’t capable of taking me on I will simply bury you alive in the grave you dug out yourself

어머니는 바다가 푸르다 하셨어,

멀리 힘껏 니 목소릴 내라 하셨어.

그런데 어떡하죠? 여긴 너무 깜깜하고..

My mother told me, that the sea is blue,

she told me to yell as loud as I could.

But what should I do? It’s too dark here..

끝없는 무전 하나 언젠가 닿을 거야

저기 지구 반대편까지 다

an endless message will one day reach someone

to the other side of that planet

age without apologies 

don’t apologize for mental illness

make mental illness okay

fight dictators and evil empires

never apologize for being you

It’s understandable. She was of a very different generation and most of us are probably less familiar with her. However, I want to talk about how Debbie Reynolds was an incredible woman in her own right.

Debbie Reynolds was a survivor of childhood abuse. She was a mental health advocate for most of her life. In 1955 she became a founding member of the Thalians — an organization dedicated to mental health causes — which she led for almost 60 years.

She was a valuable and fierce ally to the LGBT+ community. She hosted AIDs benefits years before Reagan even publicly acknowledged the disease. She bearded for gay men to protect them from homophobia and discrimination that would prevent them from getting film roles.

She was a strong, compassionate woman who — on top of raising her own two children, with no help from their father — raised the three children of her second husband by his late ex-wife, even after he gambled away all of her money and left her flat broke.

So here’s to Debbie Reynolds. Her legacy — like her daughter’s — is more than just who she was on camera. I’m full of gratitude. The world is better place for all that she left behind.
