Hello Voyager
Take it in strides, you can still grow right where you are.
I'm Ara,
an aspiring storyteller whose curious soul is constantly learning to dance in the unforced rhythm of grace. I identify myself as an unfinished story—believing that there are still many spaces I've yet to sail on.
Favorite Quotations
"The present moment holds the key to liberation. But you cannot find the present moment as long as you are your mind."
"The mind always seeks to deny the Now and to escape from it. In other words, the more you are identified with your mind, the more you suffer. Or you may put it like this: the more you are able to honor and accept the Now, the more you are free of pain, of suffering and free of the egoic mind.
Because it cannot function and remain in control without time, which is past and future, so it perceives the timeless Now as threatening."
"Yes, we need the mind as well as time to function in this world, but there comes a point where they take over our lives, and this is where dysfunction, pain, and sorrow set in."

Begin Again
I haven't been following the k-pop scene that much compared to how I used to. But I fell in love with the Begin Again Series! It radiates so much serenity that enables me to slow down, reflect and breath—even in the brevity of time.
달팽이 (Snail) - Panic
"Someday, far from now. I'll go to the end of this big, rough world where land meets the sea. Nobody has seen it but I'll use the sound of the waves from somewhere in my memory. And go on forever."
길 (Road) - god
"The road that I'm taking
Where it's leading me to, where it's taking me
Or where the final destination is
I have no idea, no clue, no answer
Yet I'm still following this path today"
