Dear Asian Drama,

(WARNING! CORNINESS AHEAD!!)

There are certain dramas that bring me joy and content: "Sungkyunkwan Scandal", "Devil Beside You", and now "Secret Garden". "Secret Garden" is probably the one that gives me a sense of true love. For me, I feel a burning sensation that is simultaneously being sucked into the center of my chest. Of course this is not what love feels like, but I think my soul is trying to give me a glimpse of what it is like. Two black holes that attract each other until they consume each other and disappear together into the universe.

Sincerely,
Hopeful Lead Actress

P.S. When two black holes meet, they make a bigger black hole. hahaha, not very romantic though huh?

Dear Sadness,

The main path to sadness is not appreciating what you have. We all compare our lives to one another wondering "Wow, they look so happy. I want to be that happy!" ( ahem, ahem...facebook...)What we should do is stop before we compare and turn around to look back on our own lives.
In middle school, I went on a field trip to the gold mines in Dahlonega, GA. We were all given a gallon bag of dirt to sift through. A few moments went by and students started to find jewels and crystals. Sadness arose though when some students saw that other sifted out larger jewels than themselves. My goal for this year is to find the beauty in my life. I may not have large ruby as others do, but I do have a small diamond.

Sincerely,

Appreciation

Dear Snow Storm

It is officially over. The mini snow storm of 2011 has been melted down into an icy puddle. The mall is open today and the schools will open tomorrow. "Hurrah!" everyone says, "Daily life patterns of Georgia has been restored."

I must admit, while everyone was posting about their cabin fever and how insane they would go if "life" didn't go on, I sat here enjoying the stillness of everything. Businesses were closed so you didn't miss any work. Roads were too icy for friends to see one another so you didn't miss any hang-outs or parties.  Everything stopped! This small snow storm gave us all a chance to sit and experience time without having to worry about "life" moving on. I miss it. I don't feel as if I was able to fully grasp my time and not worry. I guess I have to wait another decade or so for life to stop and time to trickle in the next snow storm. Oh wait! I forgot that next year is the predicted "end of the world"! So I guess that was the last snow storm. (haha)
