Always realizing

Oh, life's little (big?) realizations.

I wonder if it's an age thing. It seems like it is - I forget which book I was reading but it mentioned that. The whole "younger kids are less sure about themselves" kinda thing. I wonder if that's why those Korean 아줌마s (middle-aged women) are so rude/bold and... scary. They're perfectly fine with being who they are in front of whoever and they won't take anything from anyone, even if that means they make everyone around them uncomfortable. Eh. I never want to be one of those people though. Confidence is one thing, being rude is another. Rudeness in my mind is almost unforgivable. (I say almost because one should always strive to be forgiving, right?)

Life Motto?

"Do what you can, take it as far as it goes, and if it doesn't work out, then leave it at that."

I don't know, this has kind of been what I've been trying to embody lately. With recent events it seems that this is the best kind of approach to take. I mean in the end, there's no point in worrying, right? ("Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but gets you nowhere")

So what's the next thing you can do? Do all that you can, and if it doesn't work out, well at least you've done all you could, right? I think the important thing is to aim high. The higher you aim, the closer you'll get to whatever success you had in mind, right?

Then what it comes down to is time. I feel like I never have enough time to do anything. Though I realized if I cut out anime, there's a lot more I could do. I wonder if anime outweighs all my other hobbies that much more. Eh.

Again, do what you can, take it as far as it goes, and see what happens.

I suppose that's another way to look at it too.

Voice Acting

Starting to get serious about it.

Day 1: My voice range isn't as narrow as I thought it would be. I need to learn consistency and work on the strength of my voice (it's pretty weak at this point. -_-;;).

Remembering

"一度あったことは忘れないものさ思い出せないだけで" (Nothing that happens is ever forgotten, even if you can't remember it) - Spirited Away

I suppose in some ways, this quote can be perceived to mean that all the things that you regret doing will never go away, but I initially saw it as all those good, happy moments that you've shared with someone will always remain, even if you've forgotten them.

I suppose it's way past due, but this is what I think of when I think of you, Yoon. I don't know why it resonated so strongly with me when I saw Spirited Away this time around but that's what I thought of and it made me happy. All those memories we had of which the details I won't ever be able to fully recall, all the random tidbits of conversation, the snapshots of scenes I remember of us spending our time together... the short films of memory... the more I try to remember, the less I seem to recall.

I mean I don't see the quote as any kind of truth, but in a way it's comforting, right? I miss you~
