A North Korean man waves his hand as a South Korean relative weeps, following a luncheon meeting during inter-Korean temporary family reunions at Mount Kumgang resort October 31, 2010. Four hundred and thirty-six South Koreans were allowed to spend three days in North Korea to meet their 97 North Korean relatives, whom they had been separated from since the 1950-53 war.

There has been a lot of things on my mind lately.. And it seems that everything that’s bothering me is the result of the lack of confidence and belief I have in myself. I feel like everything I have planned for the future is out of reach, and everything I cherish the most (at this point in my life) is so fragile and easy to lose. I feel as though nothing in life is definite and that is just something I have to realize and accept. Why is that so hard to do?… I just want to be able to freely fall into everything and know I’ll come out okay. I want to be the risk taker I used to be as a child. I want to be able to trust the world and my destiny that there is something amazing planned out for me. I want to be inspired again. I want to be ambitious.

I think I just need to build my faith, trust, belief, and confidence. Even though those words seem like they describe the same thing.. even with the absence one of them, things wouldn’t work out the way I’d want them to.

I really REALLY REALLY love Maroon 5.

It’s a shame they have succumbed to mainstream… they are so talented.
