Happy/Merry Chuseok! To be completely honest, I’m still learning a lot about my Korean culture
Happy/Merry Chuseok! To be completely honest, I’m still learning a lot about my Korean culture but it’s been a wonderfully fulfilling journey. Apparently wearing your best 한복 (hanbok) for Chuseok celebrations was the norm and I never thought as an adult I would wish I had more photos in mine as a child. • I hope as I get more financially stable and more comfortable and brave in my identity as a non-binary person that one day I’ll be able to buy my own masculine hanbok. Growing up I hated to wear the beautiful outfits my family bought for me because it was too girly feeling for me to wear the dresses. I always wished to wear my younger brother’s, and his was PINK! It might be a few more years before I have to courage to walk into a shop in Korea and ask for the masculine version but it is definitely a must. • Spending my Chuseok being grateful for a fruitful “harvest” and year of hard work at my job, my relationships, and my mental health. I’m grateful for the love I have received and the time I’ve shared with the people in my life, and even the silver linings that have come with this pandemic. I’m going to time to rest before continuing on my journey to live life the best I can, loving with all my heart and soul, and fighting for those that need my voice. • Everyone can celebrate the Chuseok spirit, so I hope you’ll join in too.
