Soft City Life

a gentle approach to modern life.

  • We’re good, aren’t we?

    It’s Tuesday, just half past midnight. Last night, I was waiting at the bus stop around the same time. It was my last shift at work. My co-worker made me go live on air to cast the news. My producer told me I should be proud of myself- going through school and working while still…

  • The tarot says..

  • Why does everyone hate Seul Ki? I don’t

    I like her. I mean, I love her. It’s weird to me that people demonize feminine qualities as if strong women can’t exist in feminine bodies.

  • The Ordinary Life of a Main Character

    In films, everyone is ordinary until something extraordinary happens to them. The events are often something external at first, but one that awakens their internal struggles.

  • Terrace House: A Romanticized Version of My Ordinary Life

  • The Artist: Reluctance and Creativity Bias

    For the longest time I’ve been reluctant to call myself an artist. The closest I could get is my artist temperament. Jk. It’s to accept compliments when people tell me I’m a creative person.
