‘See, what we forget is that a child cannot possibly comprehend the importance of their actions. Though we will eventually gain the wisdom to know what they ought not to do for the sake of their future selves, we cannot ‘make’ them understand us and our adult logic.’ Honestly resonates so much with me. I’m Korean, yet I can barely speak it. I was Born in Australia and omg that guilt in not paying attention to Korean schools on Saturdays honestly made me pre upset with myself for a long time. Genuinely I don’t feel like I have a home in a way. I don’t feel connected to Korea, I don’t feel Korean, but nor do I feel Australian. I feel like I’m just stuck in the middle somewhere, but If I had to, I’d call myself more Australian, yet I don’t really know what it means to be Australian. Like the BBQs or the Aussie accent, like I don’t celebrate Australian things. Idk and you as a child just focus on getting better at English because then you assimilate better into the crowd, and fit in. Plus, my English is just a mix of British, American and australian accents. If I just learnt Korean properly, maybe I’d feel more Korean and feel like it’s my home, than a country where my parents were born in. Maybe I’d feel more connected, but idk. Also great writing! Was very engaging and I have ADHD so 🙌
I would love to hear people's thoughts on my latest article, as it is quite different from the others, and I would love to know if this is the style people prefer. Thank you my friends
