Dear Kihyun,
I'm sitting here listening to Youth while flipping through your Moments of November photobook.
I feel so happy and content.
I was feeling a little down yesterday because I thought I was going to fall in love but it didn't work out. I met this guy and I thought it was going well but he isn't what I thought.
Yet another reason why adulting is so hard. Not only do I have to work hard to build my brand and business but I also have to maintain a personal life. Checking up on family and friends, dating, being a good person, and serving God. It's all sooo much sometimes.
I get so stressed out. Like you said in the Youth album, you find yourself staring at the fully booked calendar.
We all miss our Youth. The days when we were carefree and did things just because we wanted to. Now I feel bad if I spend more than $5 on myself because I'm like that could go to bills.
So on days like this, it's Kihyun's Youth album to the rescue. On the days when I don't feel like getting out of bed, when I don't want to work, or do anything, I have this album to bring me comfort.
And the Moments of November photobook is amazing!!! Today, I realized that my favorite photos are the silly ones.
The ones with the french fries and the ones where you're pretending to surf on an ironing board.
I love these photos because as adults that's what we all need to do more often. We need to be silly and just let ourselves go and stop overthinking everything.
In one of my favorite movies, "Now and Then", Demi Moore says "As adults, it's not that we don't believe, it's that so much has happened, that we can't."
As adults, we face certain disapointments or we realize that things we've always wanted to do will never happen. So we become bitter and angry which also leads to us lashing out at random times.
So we've got to find a way to reconnect with our inner child and remember those carefree days. Playing with your friends in the snow, riding bikes, etc.
The days when all you had to worry about was what Mom was cooking for dinner and if she was going to make you eat your vegetables. And trying to find a way to avoid Dad's lectures.
That's the last thing I'll say. I promise to cheer up and have a positive day. Thanks for making beautiful music for MONBEBE.
Stay safe & healthy!
You've got the crown, now take the throne. 🐹🦈👑❤️
Peace & Blessings,
Penny
