Seoul will be in my soul

I sit here tonight overlooking this beautiful city of Seoul. It always blows me away here how much I connect to it here, how much this city means to me now that I have experienced it. Every time I come here, I feel like I can't believe I never came here before. I think that one of the reasons that I connect to this city and that it inspires me so much, is that here I am completely just on my own, this is my city, no one else in my life can understand my experiences here, and it's somewhere that I have just for me, some place on this earth that I have been, that I have worked and that I have experienced all to my self. It's also a place where many important moments and thoughts have happened in the last year of my tumultuous year. I am free here, free to live this live, to walk the endless streets and not know what I'll find. I am totally free of connection to my life and I am totally on my own, but still amongst the beautiful Korean people that I have come to adore.

I never knew that first time I was coming here how much I would love this city or how much Seoul would mean to me. I don't know what is in store for me in the next few months, but I do know that I will be back here someday and I will remember what it felt like to be here, to experience it, to remember all the amazing memories I have here all to myself and the people here. I will have it in my heart, Seoul will be in my soul.
