Water

Come in close now

Let me see your face
Soon they'll notice you're not in your place
Gone without the trace.

Some come to Korea with a passion for education; some come to Korea to travel; some come to Korea to find their roots. But everyone comes to Korea to find themselves.

Why do we like to pretend to be okay with being part of the collective?
Why do we like to pretend to be okay with being alone?
Why do we let go of our own safety nets to pursue something so turbulent?
Why do we act on our own impulses to remove ourselves temporarily from reality?
Why do we even want to remove ourselves from reality?
Is the water that we so need the same medium that drowns us with its viscosity and consistency?
