Quotes

“I’m an INFP so I’m super emotional. However, I don’t really show that to others and just let it out when I’m alone. I believe there isn’t really a reason to express it to others and it’s most fun to let it out when I’m by myself. 

“When I was in high school, there was a bunk bed in our dorm and when I went to my spot on the upper bed, I couldn’t see anything. That space was my only private space. Every night, I’d turn on a small light and write something in my notebook. With a desire to blow off steam. I listened to songs I liked, drew pictures, and even bawled when things got really hard. “

“Of course there are times when I have regrets, but if my desire to do something grows really big, I don’t even have the thought of ‘what if I regret this later?’ I just have to do it. I have to get it done to feel satisfied.”

“You know how people say ‘If I moved to Hawaii, I’d be so happy and free.’ However, if your mind is nervous, it will be the same whether you’re in Korea or Hawaii. I often think that my mind has to be stable and at peace to feel truly free, so that I’m free no matter what I do or what decision I make.”

“I want to become a grandma who’s cool and good at cooking. Just like my grandma, a cool grandma who cooks a lot of yummy things for her grandchildren and goes on vacations alone wearing shoes, coats, and pearl earrings she’s had since she was young.”

“I’m short, but I don’t try to look tall.”

“Some people just think of idols as having a pretty or cute image or being full of aegyo, but I want to broaden this view. You can have this kind or that kind of image as an idol. I think an idol can be expressed in different ways.”

“Though I seem like a baby on the surface, I want to be a person who’s kind but not soft. A person who’s good to others but have my own clear perspective, own preferences, and who can speak my own opinions with conviction.” 

“Im not giving up Im just starting over.”

“No matter how you feel get up, dress up, never give up.”

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be.”
