I know I have been a little bit MIA, but I promise that it’s all for a good reason. As some of you may or may not know, I have been preparing myself to teach and live in South Korea for a year. I’ve been busy running back and forth getting all my paperwork done and I also picked up a temp job until my departure to Korea. I finally got my placement and departure date, and OHHH HAVE THE NERVES SET IN. Contracts have been signed and paperworks have been sent out. As I prepare myself for this, the thought of moving to a different country for a year is exciting, yet a part of me feels a bit homesick already. Instead of my family being in the same household or a call away, they’re now going to be 5000 miles away. I’m going to miss my mom’s home cooked meals, my nieces and nephews, my boyfriend, and most of all my mom. I mean who wouldn’t right? Although the thought of that makes me sad and nervous to be on my own, I look at this experience as a fun lesson for myself. It allows me to be independent and change my habits since I will now be the head of my own household. I can’t call on my mom when I’m sick now, I’d have have to take care of myself. Plus, this is something I’ve dreamed and contemplated doing for a few years. 

For any of you who come across reading this and have the thought of moving to South Korea and teaching too, I say do it...but only if the timing is right. Don’t spontaneously decide to do it one day. Actually take the time and think it over to figure out whether or not if this is for you. If you are currently in the process of doing so, you’re not alone if you’re feeling nervous, anxious, scared, yet excited. I stand with you on that lol. 

With that said, I’m going to end this blog with my favorite quote: 

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

I used to work in Korean Ent./Media(I’m not going to disclose what companies, so please don’t ask. Thank you~), and now I’m temporarily working in fast food. Did I fall off? The answer is no, I didn’t fall off. I simply just lived out one dream and am ready to take on another. The way I see it, things happen for a reason. Whether it’s good or bad, but it only leads to greater things. Don’t get me wrong, it was fun working in Korean media, I absolutely love it, but right now, at the prime age of almost 25, I think it’s time for me to be selfish and live out one of the most extreme dreams of mine, and that’s moving away, on my own, for a year, in SOUTH KOREA. When I come back, I plan to go back into Korean Media or just Media in general again for the long run. This blog of mine is also a subset of my dream. My goal is to inspire and be inspired. I want to inspire those that feel like everything is going downhill and their goals seem so much further away and show them that no, your dreams may be further, but it’s only an obstacle to make you into a stronger person once you achieve that goal. You fail to prevail. When one door closes, another one opens. Trust me. So whatever dream you have, no matter how absurd it may sound to it others, if that is your dream, then go for it. I’m from a traditional Asian family, and as much as I wanted to be a singer, I studied business during my time in university. But during that time, I still went out and auditioned for major companies in order to try living out my dream as a KPOP star. Eventually I figured that it wasn’t for me and I found another dream to chase. It’s okay to have more than one dream. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. So go. Do it. Chase that dream. And if it doesn't work out, then it doesn't work out. Everything will be okay. Just remember that patience is key. Also, don’t sell your happiness for fake happiness. Be you. Be happy.
