Perpustakaan (atau kantin ya?) favorit di Seoul

Jadi belakangan ini ada tempat-tempat yang jadi favorit gw banget kalo ke Seoul. Awalnya sih karena pas gw dateng ke sana di musim panas, jadi mau jalan-jalan keluar tuh capek juga kalo outdoor terus. Jadi pengennya ngadem aja dan jalan-jalan kalo udah adem. Solusinya adalah gw ke perpustakaan seharian baca buku dan nongkrong sambil nunggu matahari tenggelam.  😙 Awalnya gw emang cuma sekedar tour keliling Seoul cari perpustakaan yang menarik dan nyaman, tapi gw menemukan better deal lagi yaitu kantinnya! Jadi biasanya perpustakaan umum di Korea itu akan gabung sama community center jadi pastinya ada banyak banget fasilitas umum warga disitu, salah satunya adalah kantin yang murah meriah! Makanan di restoran di Seoul biasanya udah menyentuh harga 10.000 won per meal, tapi kalo gw ke kantin ini bisa makan lengkap dengan harga mulai dari 5500-6500 won aja. Wow gak tuh. Jadi kegiatan gw pas musim panas kemarin bener-bener pagi ke perpus, baca buku, siang makan di kantin, baca buku ...

One of my favorite quotes is coming from the Philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson, which talks about the art of trusting one's self.

 “If all we can know and experience is our self, how can any life be lived fully, if one denies themselves before even trying?

 

If we hide or hinder ourselves out of the fear of rejection from others, are we not, in essence, rejecting our own self first; the only person we truly and inescapably have to live with?” 

It reminds me to accept myself fully and the experience I have and to accept the change that follows, whether in things around me or a change in myself. Also to really realize what's truly important for me.


The essence of this matter is also pictured through this one song, that I really love from the bottom of my heart, which is 'Cover' by Day6. The song talks about covering oneself because of fear of rejection and disappointment from other people. When actually, we should accept ourselves and live true to ourselves. 

But yeah we are human, and it is of course not easy to do that. That is why maybe we should remind ourselves every day.
