on lurching towards the breaking point

"Are you addıcted to smoking?" "No. I don't get addıcted to things easily. My addıction to people is stronger."

Turns out lonely people are all the same.

jang mi ran and hwang jin man in we are all trying here (episode 11)

it was only in today's episode that i noticed how these two are bound by the pain of losing your identity to your mother vs the pain of losing your identity to your daughter; i really wish we had gotten more of these two, miss park hae young you've done us so dirty

It made me sad all of a sudden. 'I've got enough people to fight, and now I have to fight sleep paralysis? Forget it. I'm not going to fight it. Go ahead and beat me, sleep paralysis. It's not like I'm going to die.' You know what I mean. It feels like you're going to die, but you don't actually die. 'So go ahead, sleep paralysis. You win. Stomp on me or smother me. Do whatever you want. I'll just imagine being under a blanket, eating tangerines in winter.' And I just kept still. The weird thing was..

...once I started ignoring it, it felt like the sleep paralysis got thrown off. I was supposed to be in pain, but when I said, 'Go ahead, you win' and kept still, it was almost like it lost steam and just slithered away. It felt like I learned something: some things are worth a fight, and some aren't. And sleep paralysis wasn't something worth a fight. Don't fight the thing that's giving you a hard time, Euna-ssi. It's like sleep paralysis. If you just ignore it, it'll pass. Just let it go on its way.

A cry for help.

you must've come to this neighborhood to save me.
