Personal: Wishes

I don’t have desires anymore. Is that weird?

The older I get, the less I’m sure of what I want. I mean, I do want some things – to attend concerts, to travel. But for the path of my life? No clue.

My thoughts for the next five years are a blank, to be honest. I don’t know what career I want. It used to be so specific, so clear in my head. I wanted to work for a magazine someday, to become Editor-In-Chief somewhere.

But I think that clarity, that burning wish is gone now. I dearly want to bring that passion back, because I think I’m a little lost without it. A writing professor once taught us that we should write when we feel strongly about something – whether that be hate or love. But I think, I feel like I don’t care so much about anything anymore, to pour myself out in writing for it.

I guess, I still have to search for it. For Christmas, maybe my wish is for a new dream in life. Something to work towards for. Till then — we’ll hold on.

First Impressions: Hotel del Luna

As throngs of friends have been yelling at me to watch the goddess’ IU’s new drama, I have finally succumbed. (Also I finally finished watching To The Beautiful You.)

So far, I really like the story – I’m thinking it’s a genderbent Goblin with a cleaner, smoother story path. Hotel de Luna is a boarding house for the souls of the deceased, and it is helmed by vengeful, money-loving, dazzling Jang Man-Wol. Would I die for her outfits? Absolutely. Please, someone give IU’s stylist a raise.

Then we get a little bit of a Beauty and the Beast type storyline, where a thief accidentally ends up in the hotel and plucks a flower from a decaying tree in the garden. Jang Man-Wol takes this as a sign to spare the man’s life. In exchange, he must promise her the son who asked for the flower, to serve her in about 20 years.

The first episode is overall promising, and I’m hyped for it right now. I’ll leave the blog post at that, since I’m still not feeling so well to write a lot. Toodles!
