Appreciation for the legs

The wonder of the legs. I don't know if most people notice how wonderful our legs work, and cooperate with the whole body to give enjoyable and fluid motions.
When you walk across the grass, you hardly feel the small bumps of the soil, and little uneven rocks.
When you walk up or down a few steps of a stair, you don't have to think twice.
When you walk up or down hill, and leisurely, you don't feel much change.
If there is a bump at the door, you just step over it.
And you will probably not notice the very slightly raised carpet surface as you walk from a tile room to the carpeted room.
When walking on a cemented surface, you will just assume it is flat.

Why am I saying all of this?
I just recently moved (this is the nth time) to my new dorm room. I used a 4-wheel cart to transferred my boxes, and it helped a lot with the weight. However, what I noticed is that the cart feels the effect of every little bumps on the road, henceforth, my arms do, too. On the cemented pathway, it rocks gently. On the paved pathway, it jumps at every grid. Even the slightest bump where the door frame is, and between the carpet and the tile floor halt the rolling. Not to mention that pushing it through grass is extremely bumpy. And if you are going down hill or uphill, it gets out of hand.

So see. Legs are just wonderful.

My art goals

All along, art has always been a mean of communication for me. Art for art sake? Art for beauty? These are just side concerns.

I have reached a lot of the milestone for my own art journey, but I cannot stop improving yet. I still have a lot to learn.
: To bring a spacious feeling to my drawing. How do I make my small pieces of paper feel like a vast open space?
: In the least amount of strokes and lines possible, how do I bring out what I want to portrait?
: Light and dark. How do I depict light - its direction, its intensity, its color?
: To create emotions, make a manga ... my oldest goal.

Is there a point to happiness?

Somehow, the longer you are in love, the less happy you are.
Or, the amount of happiness is the same, but you just expect more.

Strange, love is supposed to make you happy.

Complaining

I want to read a lot, good novels, classic works, poems, biography.
cook a lot, try new recipes, bake, branch out on Western food.
draw a lot,
indulge the nice summer outdoor a lot,
take a lot of flower pictures,
spend a lot of time with the people I enjoy spending time with,
...
There's never enough time.

Favorite lyrics (1)

"I'm not surprised, not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times, I stopped keeping track."

"Not that I didn't care
It's that I didn't know
It's not what I didn't feel,
It's what I didn't show."

"Running through the monsoon
Beyond the world, till the end of time
Where the rain won't hurt
Fighting the storm into the blue
And when I lose myself I think of you."

"But if I fall for you, I'll never recover
If I fall for you, I'll never be the same"

"When I first saw you with your smile so tender
My heart was captured,
My soul surrendered.
I'd spent a life time,
waiting for the right time.
Now that you're near,
the time is here, at last. "

"Insides crying 'save me now'
You were there impossibly alone."
"Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hopes, bur failure is all you have known."

"Where you are seems to be
as far as an eternity
Outstretched arms, open hearts,
And if it never ends then where do we start?"

"We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on comin' and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our the way
The waves would guide you through another day"
"And every time I see your face , the ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore."
"I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I'd feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along
I will follow you, and keep you strong."

"Listen closely, listen closely
You will find me where it's quiet.
Listen closely listen closely."

"If your sky is grey, oh, let me now
There's a place in heaven where we'll go
If heaven is a million years away,
Oh, just call me and I'll make your day."

"Sarangeun batneundago gatneunge
You got someone’s love, that doesn’t mean that you have it 
Siganeun geotneundago ganeunge 
You keep walking, that doesn’t mean time passes 
Sarameun sum swidago 
Saneunge aninde
You keep breathing, that doesn’t mean you’re alive"

"Give me your loneliness
And I'll give you my tenderness."
"In every encounter and farewell,
what people search for is
This strong bond that will unite them someday."

For me, art is ...

when I want to express my thought but cannot find the right words,
when I want to communicate the emotions that exceed my verbal capability.
closer to my subconscious than dialogues.

Calmness

Whether it is my flesh, my skin, or my thought, my emotions, my soul, I'm not showing them.

I hate revealing clothes for the very reason why I always look reserved and calm.
Only the person who deserve it can have it. My emotions, my thought, they are part of my personality. To people who will never be able to understand me, or who do not appreciate me, I see know reason to show my emotion.

Say it as much as you want, that I'm an emotion less creature. I don't even care.
