My Happiness = My Responsibility

I went on a morning hike to Namsan with my landlord last week.

We talked about being half Korean and what our families were like as we grew up in the U.S.

He went on to tell me about me about his younger sister. She’s a journalist or a student studying journalism, I forget, in Nevada. When he told me about her, his face totally lit up. He was beaming with ABSOLUTE pride.

Somewhere in his story, he said—

“I’m so proud of her because she is so happy with what she’s doing.”

It poured over me that when someone truly loves you all they want is for you to be happy. When you are happy and you love your life, they support it.

They support you.

With that, it is our responsibility to go after what makes us happy.
