An ode to South Korea
10 years ago I crossed oceans from South Africa to South Korea— a leap the woman I am now still struggles to understand. Who was that brave, fearless girl who trusted the unknown so completely?
South Korea, you have shaped me. You have softened me and strengthened me, turning a girl into a woman. You showed me the world in its truest form and taught me that the human heart speaks the same language everywhere I go.
You gave me friendships that time cannot loosen, and lessons I still carry quietly within me. You revealed who I am— and just as tenderly, who I am not.
I stand here today because of the years you gave me, the two most beautiful years of becoming. Though life has changed its shape, you live on within me.
Until we meet again. ❤️
감사합니다
