Sometimes it’s better not to talk, at all. About anything, to anyone.

Even the people I think I like, if I stop and think about it, they all have things that make me uncomfortable. There’s not a single person I truly like. I’m wondering if that’s why I’m being drained without realizing it. If it’s why I always feel alone.. and also as if I’ve been abandoned. I’ve decided to try finding someone like that. Even if the other person blows hot and cold, I won’t let myself sway. I’m going to just keep liking them. Wouldn’t that be better than dealing with people without any purpose? I want to try living differently.

five minutes a day | By Nevi Ayu E.

Inspired by a dialogue in My Liberation Notes (2022) written by Park Haeyoung.

하루의 5분 5분만 숨통틔우도 살만하잖아 편의점에 가쓸때, 내가 문을 열어주면 고맙습니다 하는 학생때문에 7초 설래고 아침에 눈떠쓸때 아 오늘 토요일이지 10초 설래고 그렇게 하루 5분만 채워요 그게 내가 죽지 않고 사는법

5 minutes per day

Isn’t ‘being able to breathe freely just for 5 minutes’ enough to make life worth living

Getting a ‘thank you’ for opening the door at the convenience store for a kid: I’m happy for 7 seconds

Remembering that today is Saturday when I open my eyes in the morning: I’m happy for 10 seconds

Just like that, I fill the day with 5 minutes

And that is how I stay alive
