There are so many good words in the world that support you to endure adversity and hardship. The so-called'gem-like words' that have been passed down since ancient times and are more varied in modern times make up difficult moments and decorate exciting moments beautifully. These days, there are a lot of things that are popular on the Internet, but in the past, there were many things I learned from a passage in a book and through the words of a teacher. In addition, in popular media such as dramas and movies, lines with resonant or impact appear, which make up a buzzword and represent the theme of the work. I often keep my favorite phrases close to me as I get good inspiration and comfort from good writing.
When I was in high school. A rite of passing, a college entrance exam, usually experienced by people born and raised in Korea. The last moments of a teenager ahead of college life have already gone through compulsory elementary, middle and high school education, but have become a course that must be taken before moving on to society. The phrase I liked as I approached that year was “ Beautiful struggle ”. The reality of studying by reducing my sleep all day wasn't beautiful at all, but I thought there was no qualifier more suitable for my exam life. After seeing it as if by chance, I wanted to remember that even the time of struggling was beautiful after writing this phrase on my reading desk. I liked this phrase as a way of paying tribute to the time I put up with a lot for a bigger goal in the future.
Time passed and when I entered the candidate mode again to prepare for a job, I was often overwhelmed by the desire to quit. When I was young, even if the moment I wanted to give up came, I was able to laugh, saying,'Give up is the word used to count cabbages'. In my mid-twenties, when I felt infinitely uneasy about the future I had to create, the closest phrase was " There is no paradise where I ran away ."
Life is the result of choices made at constant crossroads, and I often regretted why I made this choice. But I also knew that it was hard to see that there were better options left even if I ran away from the path I had already decided. So, to endure the frustrating moments that are difficult to grasp, I put this text by my side. In order not to turn halfway without a complete finish, to silently walk the path I chose.
And the words that have been the biggest support in the time so far are surprisingly not aphorisms, proverbs, or good texts floating somewhere.
I had a downturn in last year
I don't know how many times I said this in 2014. It was a confession that I didn't feel courageous at first. Depression following a slump. When others were enjoying the joy of college life, I was trembling with the greatest solitude and cold. I tossed all night for days, couldn't sleep, my heart pounded frequently, and I had an unknown urge. Fortunately, the condition got better and better over time, and for a period of time like that, I recovered with the help of others. And my story, which I confessed to the world a year after I collapsed in pain, began like this. “I had a downturn in last year.”
At that time, I used it often because I had many opportunities to speak English because I was studying English hard. Previously, I tried to imitate him, even though I hated hypocrisy and bluff. Rather than confessing my honest feelings, I took it for granted to decorate myself and talk. But it wasn't until I was mentally in jeopardy that I started talking honestly about myself. It was hard to say that it was difficult, but I took courage. Unlike the outside, disguised as bright, many things were broken inside. It was also the realization that I gained at that time that when I talked about myself in an unaffected way, I became a brighter face. Eventually, as time passed, I no longer conceal and hide the dark side of the past. Rather, I started talking actively.
People usually know the backside behind their glamor alone. However, the moment I talk about my sadness and pain out of my mouth, my section becomes a richer dimension. When I finally came out of the dark tunnel and met a new supporter, showing me my honesty, I used to say this as a habit.
