Returning to the Motherland

Today I’m writing to you from South Korea. To be frank, I was waffling on my decision of whether or not to come for quite some time. Being connected to my sense of Koreanness makes up a large part of my identity and I’ve been fortunate enough to return to Korea every few years to soak up the ineffable comfort that comes from having my feet on this ground. These touchpoints help me feel as sense of rootedness even as a member of the Korean diaspora.
