When You Meet Someone Who Tries Their Hardest To Stick By You Regardless Of How Difficult You Are, Keep

The Library didn’t only contain magical books, the ones which are chained to their shelves and are very dangerous. It also contained perfectly ordinary books, printed on commonplace paper in mundane ink. It would be a mistake to think that they weren’t also dangerous, just because reading them didn’t make fireworks go off in the sky. Reading them sometimes did the more dangerous trick of making fireworks go off in the privacy of the reader’s brain.

Started the day with celebrating my birthday 🥳 and ended it with a beautiful hair accessory (modern version of 빈여 binyeo) that I made in class 😌

Lecture about Korean paper 한지 (Hanji) and some coffee afterwards with a friend ☕️

The coaster I made turned out kind of cute 🤓

Wrote a paper in half a day!! That's my new personal record :D

Books on the shelves, on coffee tables, on tables beside beds and sofas, on cabinets and underneath flower pots – the beautiful musty scent of pages old and new linger in every room along with the faint perfume of flowers and rosemary. She buries herself within the pages of literature, stuck inside the adventures and thoughts of each and every story she reads, the memories and lives of the characters felt like they were hers as well. Every fact and speculation she thoroughly peruses, taking in as much as she could digest.  The books are both her escape and her comfort.

Remember the beautiful feeling of touching the pages of an old book, wondering just how many people have lovingly anticipated the stories within its pages? Or that simple, musty and kind of historic scent of it? And also, the excitement of opening a new book and feeling like you’ve found a new companion? All these are quite quirky and simple but they are part of this wonderful love I have for books. It’s not only the stories, but the companionship and the “passport” I attain to far off lands and new people in adventures I know I could only have in books.

Studying at the library before going to class. Next week we don’t have classes, which means more studying by myself. Also will be able to finish all the assignments! 🤓📖🖋️

P. S. Finished watching “Destined With You” - really loved this K-drama 💜💙

Yeah now we've entered the back pain stage
