Now I've forgotten what I like
How to find the real me when everyday life feels the same
It's so similar to my story, it's a sympathy essay that is frowning, sad, funny, and full of sympathy.
When I go to work in the morning, work, eat after work, and do this and that, it is already 11pm. ‘Really, why is it 11 o’clock now? Nonsense. I haven’t done much.’ I want to make the most of my remaining time, but I don’t want to do anything. Actually there is nothing to do. Even today, I habitually look at social media under the blanket with the lights off. Does my time pass like that, like a meaningless cell phone screen? But I don't know what to do. Everyone else said that, so I just lived through it, and now I forgot what I like. My name is Park Yuna, a 33-year-old office worker.
Yuna from "Life's Homework" finds a diary she used in elementary school in her closet while cleaning up one day. As she reads the diary page by page, she vaguely recalls her memories. When she was little, she loved to write. After all, no day was exactly the same. Some days I was exceptionally smart, some days luckily the bus came early, and some days the coffee tasted better. Yes, every day is the same routine, but you never know what will happen tomorrow.
The really important thing is to look into yourself. what was my favorite? What were you happy about? When was the last time you worked really hard on something? Some may laugh at her, but Yuna decides to write a poem to be submitted to the Spring Literary Contest whenever she has time. A shining story of finding the real me that was sparkling.
