Moment of Weakness
For the past three months I have been continuously thriving and adjusting to the new way of life, trying to make new friends and keeping up with the lifestyle. Yes, there are a lot of good sides but I will be a hypocrite to say that there was never a time when my life here sucked. I’ve had moments of weakness.There are days that I feel the huge disadvantage of living in a country where I cannot communicate properly. You cannot imagine the feeling of not being able to access through the school portal because it’s in Hanggul, or the feeling whenever I cannot order a pizza for delivery. Sometimes I ask help from a middle school student because all the buttons on the laundry machine is in Korean. It’s disheartening to live like this, like a handicap, and sometimes it just gets to me, inside me. There are days that I feel just like floating in a sea of gibberish, wanting to understand but sadly I cannot. I want to make a lot of friends here but sometimes I feel that I will never be one of them. I’m always “the” foreigner. Always an outcast. Someone who can never understand.
Oh well, there will be better days. Cheer up.
