An unknown language calms me, right? Korean has an effect on the soul. Not understanding has me not really paying attention. I could fall asleep playing BTS in the background, with my eyes closed on a pillow in a strange land with strange people whose language I know.
Something about strangers makes me calm. Only one person since I landed has made me calm. I wish I could see her again. I could fall asleep to her talking or her knitting. Some people — they are just one in a million that I feel calm with.
They are so open and understand me more than I can understand myself. It’s definitely scary to look into their eyes. I like clear communication and accountability, and the ones who bring that calm in me are not scared of either.
To feel calm again with someone — even my dreams don’t make up for the feeling.

Darkest Side Of Humanity
I noticed you walked away. My shadow has left me before I could catch up with my emotions that weighed me down.
The darkness consumed every phase.
If my eyes were the moon, now they are darker than any brown. Almost black eyes with almost black hair, now reaching the darkest side of this humanity as tears fall, failing me from standing up.
If only this was any easier, then everyone would have taken the same dive. This less-taken dive has me tired and wanting to be so unseen.I’d pick a life so quiet I don’t have to speak up. I just can’t bear the thought of being visible. I also wouldn’t sit still at disrespect. If only I was a follower.

Another Reason To Lead With Love.
Another reason to know that love
always sets everything free, and
the power in love is always beyond hate and beyond revenge.
Walk towards what fits your principles and walk away from what crosses ethical principles.
If anything makes you feel, “Oh, this is crossing a line in my books,” walk away or even run.
Don’t waste time doubting your gut. No, don’t hate your own voice for speaking up to protect yourself. Know your boundaries and choose a home that respects them.
This respect should go both ways. Love is not manipulation, love is not putting people under the bus, love is respect.
If no one has that, I’ll build my own empire where respect and
protection are on the door in highlighter, so you see them before you walk in.
