my dream life ?

whenever someone asks me what my dream vacation would be. the same thing comes to mind every single time.

the countryside; because of the slow nature of things and life. it would have to be europe or something, because certainly, I cannot pick some village in u.p (no offense, but the people over there are very close-minded and just judgemental in general)

I don't know much of how life works over there but from what I have seen in movies, it seems like a perfect life.

in a way, my love for the 'countryside' comes from k-dramas.

my favorite k-dramas of all time are: hometown chachacha & my liberation notes. and azure spring! the one I'm watching currently and what inspired me to write this hehe.

they differ vastly in their storylines and the message they want to put across, but the one aspect that remains consistent is the slow, healing life they live. it usually goes like this; when they hit a slump or a burnout in their career in the city, they move back to the countryside where they grew up where they find hope and courage to give life a second chance.

I am a bit obsessed with thought of living such a life. although I'm very used to the convenience of cities and I don't think I could survive there for more than a week. hence, it's a 'dream' life. 

to give a visual of what I imagine:

it's a little unrealistic and maybe even the setting of a horror film. but does this place not make you want to leave everything behind and spend your days basking in the sunlight eating organics you've grown yourself? 

in my fantasy, I'm there with my dearest son obi, and loved ones who wish to join me (4lyferz ko special invitation 🫡)

it would be filled with bugs and unpredictable weather. the closest supply store would be a 30 minute drive away. you hurt yourself? another 30 minutes of driving. but alas the mental peace would make it all worth it.

may we all get to live the life we dream of.

lots of love,
