AAPI. TCK. 4w5. INFJ. ARMY. Let's see how many other acronyms I can come up with.
Lover of nature, books, visual art, music, kindred spirits. Because I'm always looking for lighthouses.
The only drama around here is of the K-variety.

For the first time in my life, I’m not the laggard catching on after X (hur) years. Surreal.
Hoping to find likeminded souls once again, over here. Now, more than ever, community feels crucial, sacred, indescribably precious.
Hi hi. 👋🏽

Army did learn Korean. Unfortunately all we know how to say is “sorry mom”,”it’s on fire!”, “tuna”, “challenge”, and “don’t do woodcarving“. So, basically fluent

I like to say I respect despair as an emotion but not an analysis. As an analysis it assumes we know what can and can't happen, and the future is both uncertain and at least to some extent what we make of it. Plus why would I give them what they want, as premature surrender? Thanks Senator Schatz.
Be furious be angry but despondency is what they want from us. And be very suspicious of people on the left who say “we are cooked” or whatever. Imagine the civil rights movement, or suffrage, or any movement for change, hitting a roadblock and just “saying well we are well and truly fucked now.”

The way that I'm learning more & more about my insurer, UHC. But everyone's a loser in this shooting. The CEO's family & kids, Luigi Mangione, even the McDonald's snitch who lost her job and isn't even getting the $ reward. And lastly, all of us, who still have to put up with this healthcare system.
"Yes, this therapy can be expensive,” said Dan Unumb, an attorney and president of the Autism Legal Resource Center. “But solving the problem by denying kids access to medically necessary care is a terrible solution.”

UnitedHealth Is Strategically Limiting Access to Critical Treatment for Kids With Autism
Leaked internal documents show that the insurance giant is culling providers of applied behavior analysis from its network and scrutinizing the medical necessity of therapy. Advocates say the company’s strategy may be illegal.

This is how I *hear* these letters:
[Kim Hee-soo / Colde’s Letter to Kim Namjoon]
[Kim Hee-soo / Colde’s Letter to Kim Namjoon]
![[Kim Hee-soo / Colde’s Letter to Kim Namjoon]
세상은 순수하고 무고한 것들이 더 많은 무게를 짊어지게 되는 불공평한 일들이 참 많은 것 같아.
The world seems full of unfair situations where those who are pure and undeserving of harm are made to carry heavier burdens.
솔직하고 떳떳할수록 거짓으로 두꺼운 가면과 갑옷을 두른 이들에게 바로 살을 내어주고 마니까.
The more honest and upright you are, the more you end up exposing your flesh to those who wear thick masks and armor of falsehood.
그치만 우리 그런게 인생이더라도 이렇게 맨 주먹과 몸으로, 그리고 영혼으로 이 세상을 살아가자 남준아!
But even if that’s how life is, let’s live through this world with bare fists, bodies, and our souls, Namjoon!
살을 내어주는 것쯤은 두려워말고 말이야.
Don’t be afraid to offer up a piece of yourself.
같이 또 각자, 그런 길을 걸어가는 친구가 옆에 있다는 사실로도 삶은 충분히 따뜻하고 행복한 것 같어!
Knowing that we have friends walking the same path — together, yet each in their own way — is enough to make life warm and happy!
지금 내가 잠 못 이루듯이 너 또한 그런 밤을 보내고 있겠지만,
Just as I can’t sleep now, you must be having those sleepless nights too,
부디 다시 보는 날까지 조금은 걱정을 내려두고 밥 잘 먹고, 푹 잘 자고, 잘 지내기만을 기도할게.
But until the day we meet again, I pray you’ll set aside your worries a bit, eat well, sleep deeply, and take care of yourself.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3cxakribvqoj4xhlr3uqnq3o/bafkreifohzj6fckhmap5qxkyd5ti3tlrzucbt7wg47xeq73qgoj5zsbhie@jpeg)
![[Kim Namjoon’s Reply]
이 일년 반이 그저 무용하지 않기를 바라지만,
I hope this year and a half won’t just be in vain,
비겁하고 위태로운 생각이 나를 더 지배하는 게 사실이란다.
Though honestly, cowardly and precarious thoughts tend to dominate me.
그러나 신이란 게 있다면, 만약 우리 그릇에 맞는, 이유 있는 시련만 우리에게 주는 것이라면…
But if there’s such a thing as a god, and if that god gives us trials suited to our capacity and with reason…
무언가 이유가 있을 거라고 생각해.
Then I believe there must be a reason.
어디 있어도, 언제여도, 누구와 있어도,
Wherever we are, whenever it is, whoever we’re with,
결국 모든 건 내 마음과 진심에 달려있기 마련이지.
In the end, everything depends on our hearts and sincerity.
경영자로 또 하나의 자아를 만들고 넓힌 건 너의 결심이니,
As a leader, creating and expanding another (creative) self was your decision,
친구로서 그저 응원하고 기도하는 마음일 뿐.
I can only support and pray for you as a friend.
겨울이라 생각이 많아지고 약해져서 그렇기도 해.
Maybe it’s because it’s winter, and I’m overthinking and feeling weaker.
그러나 상실과 시련은 우릴 강하게 만들 거라는 걸 의심하지 않으면서.
But without doubting that loss and trials will make us stronger.
비틀비틀 어느 방향으로든 같이 나아가보자고 아름답게
Let’s stumble forward together, in whatever direction, beautifully
날이 풀리면 또 만나자. 좋은 일이 더 많기를 소원한다
When the weather warms, let’s meet again. I hope for more good things to come

We don’t know what comes next, and there’s plenty of reason to be wary of the incoming regime, but anyone who isn’t moved to see people being liberated or fleeing Assad’s horrific prisons has lost the plot, and maybe their humanity.
