these alleyways really well and truly have my heart. ☺️
除夕// stepping the threshold of what will be a year of bloom, uncertainty and questioning. 🤲 我照單全收。
根。
開。
Of the shore. Of the season washed up and love tumbling over like foam. Delight over delight.
If so, make a life your own.
我想無憂無慮無畏無懼，卻不想無有。
我想無條件的接納煩躁不安的心情。我想你想的大概與我無關。
something about this continent and its many many cats. 🥰

#SOTD: 玫瑰少年 by 蔡依林 / 阿信. “I love it when multiple versions of the same song emerge into the world. I love how both versions are deeply personal responses to tragedy and both calls to action and change in different ways. It’s one of the few times I look into the mainstream music scene and feel a deep sense of hope.” - Read the full post! Link in bio ☝️
#tbt2010 This was the year Hebe, the veritable goddess, began her solo career. This was also the year the folk duo Okdal debuted with a love letter to the days we’ve felt the lowest. Soulful & lyrical hip hop was growing as Supreme Team reached its peak, while rappers like Soft Lipa gathered a loyal group of followers. - Check ‘em highlights out at link in bio 🍑
#SOTD: 새소년 - 긴 꿈 / Se So Neon - A Long Dream 💫 - After a thrilling debut in 2017, this alt rock band announced their last concert in December 2018 as the two male members had to go for their military service. The vocalist & guitarist @sleeep__sheeep went solo, until early this summer two new members joined to restart the band. - The title song that put them on the radar, “긴 꿈” also made everyone fall in love with So Yoon’s husky voice. From xylophone beats to drum echoes, it’s a surreal adventure through a long-winding lucid dream. - “수상한 밤들이 계속되던 날 when mysterious nights continued 언젠가부터 나는 좀 달라졌다 suddenly, i began to change 빛 바래간 내 웃음이 눈치 없이 삐져나올 때 when my faded bright smile left me without a hint” - Check out the song, including its fun music video by Japanese animator Hoji Tsuchiya at http://bit.ly/ourjxmsdream 🌝
#AlbumReview: 魏如萱 - 末路狂花 / waa wei - Run! Frantic Flowers! — At once playful, brooding, gentle and mildly creepy, waa wei’s approach to her music has always been to slip out of easy categories. The tracks have an Alice-in-Wonderland feel to them, where the fantastical, dream-like and real elements are a perfect blend of music. — 我是比較危險的花 末路中的優雅 I am a more dangerous flower, the grace on the road to the end 犯賤中的瀟灑 狂歌中的飛花 the recklessness in indecisive regret, the flowers flying through the wildest songs 落在哪就綻放在哪 堅持到最後的煙花 blooming wherever they land, fireworks holding out till the end — Check out the full album review at https://bit.ly/2SUllMt (link in bio) 🌺🌼🌸
#SOTD: 逃跑計劃 - 閃光的回憶 / Escape Plan - Shining Memories — "被貼上‘搖滾’標籤的樂隊 只要試圖用溫柔的方式抵抗這個世界，就會被評論：‘不夠反骨，不夠叛逆，不夠搖滾."
“For bands and musicians that have been given the "rock' label, any attempt on their part to resist this world with gentleness invites the critique of "not opposing enough, not rebellious enough, not rock enough.” — 那曾經的不知疲倦 (The fatigue and helplessness you knew) 怎堪柴米茶與時間 ( How could it withstand banality and time) 奧 年華 (Years on years) 唯有你曾攀越的山峰 (Only the mountains you have climbed) 和曾給予的寬容在記憶中 閃閃發光 (And the grace you gave; in your memory; shine) 怎堪柴米茶與時間 ( How could it withstand banality and time) 奧 年華 (Years on years) 唯有你曾攀越的山峰 (Only the mountains you have climbed) 和曾給予的寬容在記憶中 閃閃發光 (And the grace you gave; in your memory; shine) — Check out the song at https://bit.ly/30Orpsm ✨ - @jaziimun

@miraelxx

this morning watching the trees move along with the wind. rain falling right after i watched a video of hail falling in australia. i hope friends and all are safe.
a peaceful moment until a grab delivery man came in my way. 아직 여러모로 적응 중이지만 잘 지내고 있어요!
house of hummingbird, dir. kim bora, 2018 // to find yourself in the world seen through the fourteen year old eunhee is a magical experience. eunhee has given more to us than we could ever do. just like how teacher kim youngji has given more to eunhee than anyone did. - “어떻게 사는 것이 맞을까. 어느날 알 것 같다가도 정말 모르겠다. 다만 나쁜 일들이 닥치면서도 기쁜 일들이 함께 한다는 것. 우리는 늘 누군가를 만나 무언가를 나눈다는 것. 세상은 참 신기하고 아름답다.” - i’m glad i got to meet eunhee during this time of my life. // “what’s the right way to live? some days i feel like i know, but i really don’t know for sure.” 영지쌤의 말이 계속 머리에 맴돈다. #벌새단
i don’t feel like this is a closing of another year. every month felt like a new start; all these starts leading up to new starts. 이번년에 내가 얼마나 고집이 쎄고 성급한 성격을 갖고 있는지 확실이 알게 되었다. 사람 관계에서도 고집이 쎄고 목표가 생기면 불안감 때문에 계획을 철저히 짜야되고 해야하는 것은 빨리 해야 하는 마음 뿐이다. 하지만 이런 성격이 나쁘다고 생각하지는 않는다. 이런 성격 때문에 나는 지금까지 혼자 잘 해왔다고 믿는다. 그리고 이번년에 새로운 도전을 망설임 없이 할 수 있었던 거 같다. 장년에 썼던 글을 읽으며 오늘도 똑같은 말을 할 수 있다. 이번년도 많은 것을 배우고 느꼈고 아직도 항상 매일 불안하다. every month was a constant anxiety, from the first day to the last, and i’m learning to take care of my feelings and expectations; to rid the harmful and fill with the good. 이천십구년의 해로운 것들은 다 지워내고 이천이십년은 좋은 것들로 채워지는 한해가 되기를.
