Settlement Ultimatum - Pt. 4: We're All Born Animals/The Person who Only Knew of Herself and Herself Only
A: ...Like, 'friend, I really wanna guide you on this matter 'cause I know you're nothing but LOST'.
B: ...
I guess you're virtually questioning, the 'Korean Psychology' Part.
Like, why would those specific country-people you even had TROUBLE fitting in from kindergarten,
..Would care about you now, that's your question, right?
A: ...
B: Be specific.
A: ...Like look, if I was that TEEN trying to look up this Chinese middle schooler being executed by her country's militia out of curiosity, I just was. I can't DENY the fact that I was in fact one of those kinds.
...But I certainly wouldn't wanna join the crowd who'd make a complete joke out of events like that NOW, with my all due maturity & although short adult life experiences so far.
..Like, call it whatever - 'cause Floridian girls' level of fitness just doesn't play well w/ my Korean brain so far just b/c. Same thing goes for that 'random dude' incident the more so the dude DOESN'T seem to understand ANYTHING about LIFE.
...Do you see why I'm an Adult Virgin now?
B: ...Sort of.
..Like man, you can still house yourself in the comfort of your parents' -
A: And I've been trapped for months, with unemployment & needing to look for SNAP/TEFAP benefits altogether that is UNTIL I got a job. BARELY.
B: .......
I don't know, man. I feel too Americanized to comment on this.
(한국어로 할까?;
...)
A: ..At least we both seem to be pursuing some sort of civility, no matter what that'd mean.
B: .....
So what book have your parents got for ya?
A: Russ Harris' The Happiness Trap. Just passed chapter 3 now.
B: ...I wouldn't question.
...
Okay, this will sound very superficial, but before I go -
What is your opinion on holding onto traditional practices as a POC w/ certain heritage/ethnicity?
A: ...To be honest,
People like me don't really have that.
All I get is what I get from YouTube, that's it.
Like, if I kept listening to Latino music while trying to learn Spanish at the same time, I'd become THAT MUCH of that that culture side of person, ..Than exactly what I've actually been trying to be.
