It was my first time tabling at an art bazaar with this scale with more than 300 artists with their own booths and merch. I was both nervous and excited!

Exhibit A: I’ve always wanted to do something “meaningful.” Meaningful to me, first. But perhaps someone else might feel the same way. A k-pop event was one of that.

소확행 sohwakhaeng. It’s an abbreviation or a short version of 소소하지만 확실한 행복, which means “small but certain happiness.” Do you have a sohwakhaeng?

We’re half-way through the year! I just did a partial “audit” of how my business has progressed for the past 6 months. I say business because I really really need to start operating like one instead of having the employee or “I’m just a freelancer” mindset.

This is the tight space I’ve created. I clean my desk or my room every day before I begin working. No matter how spotless they are, there would still be so much clutter in my heart.

I was drowning. I was weary, tired, worried.

Come up for air.

I didn’t hear these words exactly, but I kept listening. I kept pressing in.
