Drifter, drifting


I feel like I’ve already used up all my "luck credits" for 2026.

There are many ways to feel lucky, but I’ve realized that true happiness doesn’t usually come from anything physical. As we move across borders or even between states, the only things we truly carry with us are our memories and our perceptions. Of course, material things can boost our happiness—more money, merrier! I don't disagree. But when everything else is in flux, what we hold onto is how we felt about the things that happened to us.

I will be forever grateful to Sung because he has given me so many special moments that made me feel truly happy. I am deeply thankful for the fact that he remembers me and knows I am always there to support everything he does. I’ve been watching his journey for a long time—mostly over social media rather than in person—but persistently sending good vibes over the internet helps me just as much as it might help him.

As they say, what goes around comes around. I’m sending my love; I’m sending my passion. And in a way, that is what I’m getting back. I constantly remind myself: don’t stop loving. Sure, there are times when it’s hard to be generous with our hearts. But when we are, we feel better about who we are.

In the end, perhaps this is just a form of self-love. By sending love to someone else, I am ultimately nurturing my own spirit.
