Pen pals l SeongSang

Letter

You wrote back! The reason I left that envelope is because I don't visit that library very often, it's not near my faculty, now you know why I had to go the extra mile to make sure I remembered to go back to that amazing book.

Now that you mention it, I do have that with songs as well, but if they're songs you love, how come you forget to listen to them? Don't you have them in your playlists? Do you like to listen to music? I always have an earphone in my ear, unless I'm reading, then I'm one hundred percent dedicated to the words written on those thin pages. Do you like to read? I find it to be one of the things I like to do most. I sit down anywhere, it doesn't matter where because as soon as I start reading the world around me fades, the sounds turn to silence and even my body is left behind.

You said you admire those who take chances to do something different because you can't, why is that? Are you afraid of change? Are you afraid of being different from the others?

Kindly, Mars.

You're not a business management student? What were you doing in our library then? Which faculty are you from, if I may ask?

On the music part, I'm just like you although instead of always having one earphone plugged in my ears, I have two. Twice less likely to be bothered, you see? I've never been much of areader, every time I start reading the chapters in my textbooks my eyes get sore and this wave of tiredness will wash over me. I've pretty much given up on maintaining my focus on anything that doesn't have people moving and talking or a song with a rhythm and beat drops.

Do you watch movies or series? I'm quite fond of them, but I probably haven't seen as many movies as books you've read. Maybe one day we'll find out.

I'm not afraid of change so much as I'm afraid of not being or doing something everyone agrees with. Writing an unconventional story for example, you're setting yourself up to high criticism and fiery hate from people who are shocked by the ideas the author had and even dared to write and publish. I'm not saying no one had those thoughts before, but no one took the step further to write them, there must be a reason for that.

Imagine all those things people deem inappropriate, how could people still do them and be open about it? Expose themselves like this?

Sincerely, Yeosang.
