Always thinking about the future and focusing only on moving forward, I regretted how fleeting beauty vanished. I wanted to capture those moments, even in a small frame. Beauty is often recognized only after it passes. Now, radiant light shines

After-school remedial study

As a child, I once had to stay behind for extra studying. I was sensitive to others’ opinions, so being the only one left at school after everyone else had gone was far more embarrassing and painful than failing to

@cutiecat3hbl What a sweet little moment 🐾

I walk the streets for a long time
to hear the voice within, to find some kind of reason. Even if I keep walking through meaninglessness, I hope that, after a long while, this wandering too will become beautiful. - dearolddays

My happiness is
not in many gifts or congratulatory messages. Just you, me, some potato chips, and a movie
make it the best day. Happy birthday to me.

People on the boat leave the safe canal and venture into rough seas with glass-like waves. At the end of Venice’s waterways, two solemn figures row in silence. Crossing the restless water begins by taking hold of the oars with your own strength.

촬영을 나가면 한참 돌아다니다가 본능처럼 카페를 찾아 커피 한 잔을 마시고 돌아옵니다. 늘 당연하게 해왔지만, 돌이켜보니 그 시간이 내 삶의 최고의 쉼이었네요. 나를 조금 더 알게 된 기분입니다.

잡생각을 잊으려 긍정과 ��실 사이를 오간다. 허세도, 도피도 아닌 자기객관화. 오늘도 해는 저물고, 반복되는 일상 속에서 기대되는 내일과 나를 찾는다.

밀라노 여행의 마지막 선셋. 집에 가기 아쉬워 두오모 광장을 서성였다. 사라지는 노을빛 속 사람들의 모습에서, 아름다움은 멋진 배경과 인간적인 풍경이 함께할 때 완성된다는 걸 느꼈다.

Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band! I don’t know much about the Beatles, but watching my boss talk passionately about how the Beatles defined his youth made me wish I had something I loved that deeply. I think I’ll listen to the Beatles today.

Our trip to Italy

A review of flat peaches
Flat, delicious, but don’t touch them or you’ll get scolded. Similar to Korea, but cards don’t seem to be accepted. The varieties sold differ from those in Korea. We watched from a distance in case

Traveling makes me feel as if I’ve been born again. I leave behind the hardships and painful events, reset here, and start anew. Returning home can sometimes double the pain, but it gives me a reason to leave again and be reborn. Lago di Garda,

My Italian travel diary

The square in front of Milan Cathedral was packed with people. Unlike other cities, Milan felt busy, with a fast-paced energy and people of diverse nationalities dressed in bold colors. Its architecture, including the

Why bother? When music is available worldwide with a few taps, and high-quality photos can be saved in seconds, why still develop film or use physical media? Not because “analog is romantic, ” but because the deliberate inconvenience helps me focus

Goals that come with a day off
“I’m going to make the most of this holiday. ”

The standard for a perfect day off? If tomorrow feels a little less scary right before you fall asleep, that’s success.
