I can’t go right away when the light changes
When I stop at a red light while driving, it feels as though my life has stopped before the car.
Scenes
- I can’t go right away when the light changes — When you stop at a red light while driving, it feels as though your life has stopped before the car. What thought comes up first?
- The car stops, but my thoughts go far away — The longer the light stays red on the way home, the postponed thoughts of changing jobs and the direction of my life all come rushing back. The red light lasts only a moment, but the thoughts stay for a long time.
- A brief delay and a long-term direction are different — In myeongri, daewoon is viewed as a flow that continues for a long time, while sewoon refers to the conditions of that year. Looking at both together keeps you from treating one traffic light and your whole life as if they mean the same thing.
- Separate what has stopped from where you want to go — Tonight, write down side by side what has stopped and what you still want to keep moving toward. Rather than looking for an answer, notice which side your pen lingers over longer.
- A day you couldn’t go is also a day to look at your direction — Some days, you can’t start right away even when the light changes. Don’t make that pause your conclusion; next time, continue by looking at which path you were considering.
