I know I'm not the bravest person in the world, I lack spontaneity and I always like to plan and control situations. I know sometimes I'm cranky, stubborn and I get sad pretty easily. But I refuse to be what the world expects me to be, I will never be that thing they want me to be. I march to the beat of my own drum and don't want anyone's approval. It's funny in some sense, don't you think? Just because you like something or behave on an unusual way, people automatically put you on a mold and are unable to see past that...
But it shouldn't be like that. I always try to defend that. You can be whatever you want on your own terms. Throughout the years I've suffered lots of bullying that didn't even apply to me and that has been harsh, those people make you doubt yourself, feel insecure. Well, not anymore. If you're out there reading this, please know that it's okay to be who you are, it's okay to be weird and to not be what the world assumes you are. It's a new year, it's a new world. Let us walk into it and conquer.
// Sé que no soy la persona más valiente en el mundo, me falta espontaneidad y siempre me gusta planear y controlar situaciones. Sé que a veces soy gruñón, terco y me pongo triste con facilidad. Pero me rehuso a ser lo que el mundo espera que sea, nunca seré eso que quieren que sea. Marcho a mi propio ritmo y no quiero el sello de aprobación de nadie. Es hasta chistoso ¿no creen? Sólo porque te gusta algo o te comportas en forma inusual, la gente automáticamente te pone en un molde y no pueden ver más allá.
Pero no debería ser así. Siempre trato de defender eso. Puedes ser lo que quieras en tus propios términos. Durante los años he pasado por mucho bullying por cosas que ni aplican conmigo y eso ha sido rudo, esa gente te hace dudar de ti mismo, sentir inseguro. Pues, ya no más. Si están allá afuera leyendo esto, por favor, sepan que está bien ser quien eres, está bien ser raro y no ser lo que el mundo asume que eres. Es un nuevo año, es un nuevo mundo. Caminemos hacia él y conquistemos.

Love always,
Henry.
I love Christmas, you should know that by now. It's my favourite time of year. I like every single thing about it: the weather, the rituals, giving and receiving presents, having fancy dinners, Santa Claus, gingerbread cookies... I think you get the idea, right? This year I'm spending the holiday season in California with my mom (remember I told you she moved here last summer?) and it's been really... I can't say fun or boring... It's been different.
Love always,

The holidays are a great time to think about everything we've done in the year. In between Christmas celebrations, excessive lunches, hefty dinners and never ending shopping trips, we have to face our inner demons. I've been doing that for the past few days and it's kind of liberating, you know? I started thinking about the things I did, the people I met and the areas I need to work on.
Love always,

With every passing year, I realise that I know less and less about the world. It's all a matter of perspective, really, I've been learining a lot about the world, and people and emotions and all that, but as soon as I start feeling wiser, I notice that there's so much more to see, to touch, to learn, to understand. So, after that split second of knowledge, I become a fool once again.
Love always,

One of the hardest challenges I've faced in my life was learning how to let go of a place. I mean, letting people in your life go is hard enough, but, accepting that your time in a particular place is over, that those moments are gone, is extremely tough. Living in Seoul was the happiest time of my life and when I came back, I realised, I hadn't come back entirely, part of my mind and soul were still in Korea.
Love always,
