When I first started blogging, I didn’t really pay much attention to visuals. I just stuck to writing. I was used to seeing blogs with just text. Some of my favorite blogs don’t have any images on their actual page and may have many paragraphs of text. But when restarting my blog, I decided to add images. I wanted to create a visually enjoyable experience for the reader, with the theme of my page andread more

I’ve been blogging on this domain since 2013. Prior to that, I ran and deleted several blogs on sites such as Xanga, Blogspot, Blogger, WordPress.Com and more. Prior to 2013, I’d mostly post about daily life, sometimes created roleplaying blogs, and didn’t really have much value to offer. From 2013 to 2016, I tried offering more valuable content, but still fell short on that. Then after that, I felt as if I was providing contentread more

Some people think that if you want to make it as an entrepreneur or get through college so you can land your dream job, then you have to make sacrifices to your health in the short-term. It’s dangerous, stupid, and reckless. You’re only going to damage your long-term health by shortcutting your health and not making it a priority. As much as I enjoy ramen, I wouldn’t recommend for a student to save money byread more

A goal that I can test in 10 minutes is seeing how many words I can learn from watching Running Man by actively writing words down that I don’t know. I’m going to test this right now. I will continue watching 5 minutes of a show from where I last left off. I will write down the words I don’t know, and then translate them either by pausing the show in between or waiting untilread more

I think so many of us live our life trying to justify everything that we do. We search for reasons, as if having no reason is not good enough. And, it’s hard not to think that way when everyone kind of expects you to have an answer for everything. I mean, wouldn’t it be nice instead if people didn’t expect to hear a clear-cut answer for, “So, what do you do for a living?” Iread more

I don’t believe in diets. Diets don’t work in the long-term. They just restrict you. The only exception I make is if someone says they’re vegetarian or vegan. That’s different because it’s more of a lifestyle that a restriction. But if you simply say “I don’t eat carbs”, that’s more like restricting yourself. You have no values other than trying boost your appearance. Whereas, someone vegan cares about animals or the environment. Hmm, then again,read more

I haven’t been keeping up with Success Triggers or taking any other specific course, so I find it a little difficult to figure out what to blog about each day. I remember I used to get all sorts of ideas for what to post. I even saved many drafts of ideas. But when I look over those drafts now, I don’t feel particularly drawn to post on any of those topics. And these days, Iread more

I first heard about lightworkers and darkworkers through Steve Pavlina’s blog. He talked about how it’s hard to be in a peak state of motivation without polarizing to one or the other. There was definitely a time when I identified as a lightworker and felt motivated for days or even months to take action to achieve my goals because of that. But after hearing voices and experiencing the negative side of that, I feel asread more

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a simple dream. I feel like in American culture, we’re taught to want more, to expect more all the time. So, it leaves us feeling dissatisfied with whatever we have. It makes us always strive for more than we have. I remember when I was in Korea, I didn’t have a well-paying job, but I was happy. I could learn piano and Korean, I would go toread more
