16.01.15

I sat with Sarah, sipping tea in a cafe in Myeongdong for hours this afternoon. It was one of those times you keep saying, "I should go home now" but never actually do anything about it.

It's nice to find friends to do that with.

I bought some roasted chestnuts and gave them to a man begging in the station. He looked so grateful and he took them so eagerly with both hands. I hope I never forget his desperation for food and his readiness to accept them. It made me appreciate how easy it was for me to just buy them with the cash in my wallet. It was also so easy to give them, but so often I just walk by and make some stupid excuse as to why it would be weird for me to be generous.
