Pen pals l SeongSang

Letter

You don't know me and it shows, my thoughts are very interesting. I know most of our generation is glued to their cellphone (you may be the poster boy for that given what you've told me haha) but I get dizzy if I stare at a screen for long periods of time. And I'm not gonna lie, I do like having the higher moral ground. "Yeah, I'm different from others", see?

I actually think that's one of the problems of this generation, we have no thought. No one takes the time to stop and think about something long enough to develop their own opinion on any matter. They just watch a tiktok video about it and decide that yeah, it makes sense and go with it.

You go to the gym? I've gone once or twice, it's not as bad as I thought it would be I have to say. But the gym's never really been my thing, I'm not a very athletic person as my book obsession might have revealed. You say that you're not a workout nut in the same sentence as you say you go 5 days a week to the gym? That's crazy. And I'm sorry but how much media content do you consume a day????

Like I said, I'm not athletic which is why I haven't played any sport in my life, that's if you don't count the three volleyball matches I ducked my way through in high school. The bad thing is someone informed me recently that all students must register at least one sports course so I'm doomed next semester.

Stranger things, huh? That's what you recommend me? The series that literally everyone is watching? Way to be different, Yeosang haha. But you know what, I'll give it a try, because you suggested it to me. That's how much I care about our growing friendship. Hope you'll do the same and read this book once it's finished and I bet you you'll be screaming and kicking your feet ten times more than for any drama you've ever watched. Mark my words.

Like I said in the first letter, this story is very unconventional which is what makes it great! You'll be squealing and rooting for things to happen that you would never dare say out loud. And there's not going to be anything wrong with that. We're humans, we're not perfect and you can enjoy fictional happenings without being scared that it's "wrong". Because even if it is, it's not real! And as much as people love to say the opposite, they can't get mad at something that's not real! Can you imagine how boring life would be if we weren't allowed to be creative? To imagine? I would have forfeited life long ago.

Jokes on you, my exams are next week.

Oho, different from others? A little cocky, aren't we? I see we're going into debates about our generation and to be honest, I don't feel like writing paragraphs stating my uneducated and biased opinion on why our generation isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Let's leave that very long (I mean interesting) conversation for when we meet irl, yeah?

So back to sports, how can you not play any???? I played a lot of volleyball in high school too, but you know, I actually played haha. I'm not much of a sports person, but I have played unlike your weird ass. Guess I should say bookworm ass. But you know I haven't done my sports course here either, I'll probably do it next semester with my friends, I think some of them still haven't done it either.

I consume a lot of media content, you have no idea, I guess I really am a poster child for our generation but I mean come on, there's so many things to watch! I actually don't even have enough time to watch everything I want to haha there just aren't enough hours in the day.

Back to the cocky attitude I see, Stranger Things may be "too mainstream" for you but there's a reason for that, it's because it's good haha. But if you want something more "different" I will give you the name of series you haven't even heard of. (But you do have to tell me what genres you like). Although if I have to read that book even though I have more conservative tastes then you should watch whatever I tell you to, yep. Personally I will watch anything but I have noticed I'm not much of a horror fan, I don't watch scary stuff.

You seem very passionate about that story, it's making me want to read it even more which is saying something. I'm not a very creative and artistic person, like at all, but I can appreciate that books, movies, drawing and music are ways for people to express themselves and I love that there as some people who feel so strongly about things like that, like you. I've always been very good at separating real from made up, but even if a story is just that, a story, it can always be talking about real topics, so I do feel like a should be careful about what I read, watch or stuff like that. I kind of wish it wasn't the case though...

Fine, I won't wish you anything nice again. I hope you fail your exams.

Sincerely, Yeosang.

You thought I had forgotten about you?? I've just been super busy but my last exam was Wednesday which means I'm done with my semester!! (Unless I failed my courses which would mean make up tests which would be truly awful)
