ICONOCLAST1999

I began writing when I was 8 but never had nerve to show them around.
Murakami Haruki once said,
'If it's possible to express yourself just by living, you don't have to write.
You write because something is missing in you'
I agree.
Writing is a psychology journey to me.
When I can't stand it any more, I write.
Then I go on with my life.
I made this website when I was working for my master degree in the States
because I learned that it is OK to say I write there.
I wouldn't say I had a good time when I was there.
Many things happened, and some of them were tough to get through, so I wrote.
It's still quite embarrassing to put my thoughts in words and put them online.
I don't think I'm a good writer. In fact, I don't introduce myself as a writer.
However, I just want to share my humble words with somebody who can't express themselves just living.

Recently one of my students discovered my website, and it reminded of me that I HAD a website.
I revised it a bit and added my poems in Korean for those who don't addprecite poems in English.
