8_To love the flaws.
August is when summer reaches its peak and then quickly fades away.
From beginning to end, discomfort dominated my entire body.
To soothe your mind and body more than ever before
I devoured the letters ravenously.
It was to the point where I couldn’t survive this situation healthily on my own.
I didn’t even want to think back on why it ended up like this.
Tormenting myself by trembling over trivial things
I didn’t have the confidence to face my ugly and shameful appearance.
But you can’t keep making excuses and hiding in letters.
Now, let’s acknowledge and love the flaws that exist here and there.
-.There are things that do not become routine. These are things based on emotions. It’s difficult for the feeling of wanting to love someone or something to become a routine. You may get used to or try to do things you do because you love them, but the emotions that are their essence change somehow. Can you continue to love someone like you first loved them? Or can I continue to hate it like I first hated it? Can emotions really become routines (habits)?

-.Priming water
In the days when water supply facilities were not in good condition, there was a pump that brought up groundwater. But you can’t just pump the water. You will need to pour about a bucket of water. That one bowl of water is called prime water. Just as we need priming water to get water, if we want something in our lives, we need to pour priming water into it.
- From Kim Hong-shin’s
Prime water is not wasted water. It is not water that disappears without a trace. Although it is only a single bucket of water, it is the first water that we are grateful for and precious as it brings groundwater deep underground and pours out. The human heart also needs that first water. Able to draw out the essence of love that seems to be locked deep within one’s heart.

-.They usually say things like this. Why don’t people love me? Why don’t you see my beautiful inner self? But I don’t like that kind of self-consolation. It may not be pleasant to be evaluated, but honestly, how can you tell someone not to evaluate you? (omitted) Evaluation is natural. I think prejudice was also created to save brain fatigue.

-. There was a time when I lived fiercely as if the power of writing could change the world, but now that I think about it, I realize that I was only testifying to a limited world that I could barely see through a crack in the door.

-.Soju is fragrant and hot. I enjoy both smell and taste. It stings my tongue painfully and passes through my throat with a burning sensation. The heat passing through my throat burns like a bright flame in an empty stomach that hasn’t woken up in the morning. Another sip, another sip, slowly, little by little. This drink is a bit arrogant. Not a single drop ever passes through the throat. It fills the esophagus little by little so that the dense stimulation of each drop can be fully absorbed.
Finally, the bottle of soju that I secretly hid in my shopping cart yesterday is completely empty, and now the bottle is just a bottle and has no charm. I am now as hot and happy as a stove with a well-smoked briquette in my stomach. Sit on the floor again. Now the sky is a cobalt blue as if it could never be shaded. Living is a little bit more enjoyable. Is it just the sky? Those ugly dark gray spots on the wall of the house in front spread softly and elegantly like ink dropped on rice paper.

-.Red, ripe watermelon is pretty in itself. Frida Kahlo painted a watermelon in her last work and wrote Viva la Vida (Long live life), a phrase that anyone who knows her life would never imagine. Long live Rani. If it were me, I would have written, “Let’s not watch it again.” My life, which has so desperately ignored me. Every time I eat watermelon, I think of Frida Kahlo. Yes, these are the moments that we will all miss after they pass.
Like most people, I too become simpler and restored when I eat, wear, and encounter beautiful things. And I like to diligently collect such happy moments and release them into my raw life. If you sprinkle it like that, even scenes from life that are not considered beautiful become worth watching. (omitted) Yesterday, I broke my favorite Bilat plate and Anna Lisa vase. My face got hot for a moment, but I couldn’t help it. Since you have it, you will still see it even if you lose it. All of these thoughts came to me while eating watermelon. As long as it wasn’t my heart that was breaking.

-.At that very point, I found great comfort. I finally became a humane person because of my numerous gaps that made me blame myself, the things that came through and hurt me, and the experience of trying to fill those gaps by force and having everything fall apart. I don’t know who came up with such a grateful definition, but it made me want to embrace that person. All people live with flaws. Whether it is an inherent defect or an acquired defect, there are holes big and small in every corner of their soul and body. Those holes become evidence that we are human. We are immature, fail often, and underperform more often. Still, because the wind passes through that hole, we live without festering. So I decided to love my flaws more. You will be happy and happy more often when you discover the flaws in others.
