Interesting poem from the Korean drama "About Time"

Image
Hi there! So I was watching this drama called About Time,(also known as A Moment I Want to Stop: About Time), and I was really interested with this one poem that the character Yoon Do San read in episode 8. The poem goes like : When I was 20, I was afraid of becoming 20. I thought I was going to die when I become 30. I became 30, and unsurprisingly I was alive.

Hello! Today, 8th of December 2018, 2.02 a.m. mark my first start of this blog. I have just passed a huge stage of life in my life. While waiting for the next one to arrive, I realised I have so much in me that I could share to people but could not due to my introvert self. So I decided to pour all of it out here! So brace yourself for the upcoming randomness, people. Who knows how long or far this blog will go, but along the way, I hope I have shared something very beneficial to all of you!
