time passing

a note from a blog post -

“젊기는 쉽다. 모두 젊다, 처음엔. 늙기는 쉽지 않다. 세월이 걸린다. 젊음은 주어진다. 늙음은 이루어진다. 늙기 위해선 세월에 섞을 마법을 만들어 내야 한다.”
그렇다. 나이 듦은 시간이 간다고 저절로 되는 것이 아니다. 어떻게 나이 들 것인가. 지금 이 순간에도 우리는 나이 들고 있다.

“easy to be young. everyone’s young, at first. not easy to get old. it takes time. youth is given. aging is achieved. to get old, you need to produce magic to mix in time”
spending time is not equivalent to getting old. how to get old. even at this moment, time is passing.

i am not so old ‘yet’ to get sentimental on aging, but this note somehow makes me empathize.
admittedly, youth gives ruthless confidence and arrogance that makes you ignore this time passing. the difficult part is many don’t realize it was rash until they look back.

at the same time, however, this ill-advised bravery is only acceptable when you are young and perky – beginner’s luck. trial and error. only given once when it is your first time.

really, hard isn’t it to get old and wise.

tada* finally!

since my confession about my love for silhouette drawing (also with the confession on my laziness that never brought me to actually get to work on it) in my previous post, i *finally* did it! have to say i am quite impressed how it turned out as it was purely drawn on my laptop touch pad with my right hand index finger : )

i was actually working on my new website www.plainjaneoh.com (mostly just for fun), and needed some idea to decor the hp. i was very happy when it finally occurred to me (why not earlier?) i should make a self-portrait in silhouette drawing – and voilá!

 

for those who are enjoying it, here, opened for custom orders for a cute lunch maybe ; )
