Seoul Searching with Deep South Korean

Since the beginning of this social media journey, I have decided to embrace the direction of the waves. In less than 6 months, I have gone from a TikTok video to a podcast. If you would have told me then that I'd be here now... Well, I'd probably think it was cool as hell, but I wouldn't have had the faintest idea how to get here.

This may be one of the scariest things I've done, and I've done some risky business. I have made DUMB decisions for people who didn't deserve it because I loved them. I have made reckless decisions when said people left me disappointed and heartbroken. So how bad can a decision for myself be?

So far, I have been blessed with new connections that have enhanced my journey and search for my biological family. More importantly, they have helped me on a journey that I didn't expect to be on--finding myself. I suppose that was always the goal, though, wasn't it?

I've reflected on the experiences that made me. I have assessed the damage and tried to revisit the lessons I have learned in therapy over the past two decades. I have tried to heal--again. Between the scar tissue and the wounds that seem to almost heal but never quite close, I have learned how to function through the damage. But I don't want to anymore. I'm cleaning out the closet and laying everything out on the front lawn to hold myself publicly accountable. And maybe, just maybe, I can make someone else feel a little more ok in their skin... a little more free to be... a little more.

I will continue to say this every chance I get--Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening without judgement and for being vulnerable with me. Thank you for accepting me in all of my madness and raw emotion. And on March 7, 2025, thank you for listening to my latest project--Seoul Searching with Deep South Korean.
