Korean culture

Hello. Firstly, thanks for creating such a platform for people. Happy 2023! 


In my previous posts, I wrote about stuff like emotional support, spirituality, etc. After my spiritual experiences, and learning a ton about emotional intelligence, I wondered what can I do the next? I mean, what's the next step in my growth journey that can serve both me and others? I didn't want to be too much self centered, but I wanted to find or create a purpose that's aligned with my soul. This soul searching wasn't easy at all, there were and are lots of challenges. 

I found out that I really like Korean culture. Not just K-Pop, but also its history, economy, nature, everything. But most importantly, it's language. Korean language. I have taught myself its alphabet, its some vocabulary. Of course I am far from perfect and I do lots of mistakes. Hell, I even forget some letters. But it is very rewarding. This journey has no destination for me. This isn't just some new year resolution, since childhood I am interested in their culture. 

How about you folks here? If you are interested in learning Korean language and discovering their culture through their language, please feel free to  drop a comment here. What do you appreciate in this culture? Do you find its alphabet hard? 

 If you want, we can study it together, or I can speak about how I learn it. Kinda like teaching, but teaching sounds too formal. Maybe a friendly, cozy atmosphere, sharing our appreciation together, like tips on how to pronounce that sound. But I need to say that it takes just a little bit time, and one needs to have passion + some time on a daily basis. But it can be done now, in a cozy way, I mean it shouldn't feel like sitting in a school, it shouldn't take itself very seriously as if one is studying linguistics. 

English isn't my native language. Hope my post made sense. 

Thanks for reading my post. Feel free to drop a comment

Porch & Home Piratry

I saw this vid on FB where a guy was able to catch a thief stealing his belongings & spray painting 2 of his cameras on video- he was able to get the police to get a search warrant & actually recovered his belongings 

My experience was a bit different 

I came home with my 3 little children to 2 teenage boys running out of my garage (as I backed in) with their hands full of my belongings - police didn't even want descriptions - they said there was nothing they could do so I should make a list to file with homeowners insurance - as a single & disabled mom I didn't have enough income to pay for homeowners insurance - so I pray for those boys that God would turn up the heat enough in their lives to turn them around

Last Resort

Hi 


I will be posting resources and self care tips in the near future. First I am in crisis mode, so I’m looking for help. I take care of my husband who is sick and we live on one income. I been trying to keep us afloat for years but Ive hit a wall. I lost my job and I don’t qualify for benefits and we are still waiting to see if my husband will get disability which I doubt. It is very hard to get approval. I created a gofundme with our full story and we got help that got us through April but now we aren’t sure if we will even make rent for May. I’m looking desperately for new work and hope to get something soon. If anyone is willing to either help is by donating or sharing my link I would greatly appreciate it. I’m so sorry for asking, I have tried everything else and I don’t know what to do. Below is the link to my gofundme.
