Samcheok has provided me with a truly unique experience of Korea and has served as a stepping stone to things better in Korea. However, I'll take my chances in a big city now.
Though starting a new chapter to my life is thrilling, there are a plethora of choices available to me which do become a burden, however a good burden. I remember reading action novels as a kid, the ones where the character is faced with a dilemma and the reader chooses the outcome of the story by flipping to a specific page, leading to a different outcome. When faced with the decision to jump down the chute or to run down the hall, I would chose the chute because it seemed cool. However, I've learned that I should take a more methodical approach to my decision making because I can't turn back the pages of my life if the figurative chute leads to a pit of razor sharp knives.
Too bad I haven't been running. That is my meditation and thinking time. Where are those new running shoes????
