Here's Who We Are (Today, Anyway)

This Is Me (Today, Anyway)
I’m a 30-year-old dog-mom living in Seoul, navigating this big-city life and constantly questioning whether I should be climbing the corporate ladder (if there’s even a ladder left in 10 years, or will AI just take over everything, lol) or chasing my elusive dreams — whatever they are.
Living in a fast-paced city full of FOMO, I’ll spend one day cursing capitalism and dreaming of a zen life where I return to the earth (흙으로 돌아가고 싶다). The next day, I’m knee-deep in shopping carts and wondering if I’m ever going to stop. I know, it’s full of contradictions — but that’s my reality.
My interests are all over the place, and sometimes I wonder if I’m just wasting time. But deep down (or maybe it’s a delusion, who knows), I believe these random passions will eventually connect and lead me to something meaningful. The trick is figuring out what that something is.
I’ve changed a lot over the last decade, and I have a feeling my 30s will be just as unpredictable and full of surprises. I want to document it all — the highs, the lows, and everything in between. I’m hoping that by sharing my thoughts and experiences, it’ll all make sense at some point.
And to be honest, with how fast the world is changing, I just want to find my people — like-minded girlies who get it. A place where we can share, connect, and be real. I hope this space becomes that for you too.

This Is Me (Today, Anyway)
Hi, I’m Yeonju, a 30-something freelance developer based in Seoul, Korea, currently building e-commerce websites.
I love making things — and I love consuming and experiencing things made by other people. I enjoy drawing, building websites, visiting art exhibitions, exploring beautiful spaces, and, of course, trying on nice clothes.
From these statements, you might guess that I’m addicted to dopamine, and you’d be right. (so hard to put my phone down in bed.)
Ironically, though, all I really want is to hone my practice for years and see how far I can grow and improve without losing myself as a creative in an age of AI. (A bit of an idealist, I know.) I want to become someone with a voice of my own, even if it's just in a small, niche field. To me, it means carving out a small but cozy place in this wide world where I truly belong.
The simple rules I try to stick to are eating healthy, and exercising regularly, just to keep myself focused on what matters most (and to save myself from back pain)
Things can get messy, confusing, and uncertain, and sometimes super exciting. But this is simply me, sharing my journey. I hope this blog becomes a warm, supportive corner of the internet where we can cheer each other on, and become even bolder together ✷
