A poem about a world without our loved ones.
My first half marathon. Run/walk. Originally planned for 17 km only but the remaining kilometers were enough to get back home.
A post-run vlog after I did the 26virtual:boston race event for 10K.
This was also my first time in video blogging. (It’s raw.)

It is also the word for “willow” or the “willow tree” which means graceful or slender; and a tree growing near a body of water which provide continuous nourishment and resources for everyone. It can also mean to exist, an oil (anointment(?)), and simply as “U” (you).
The hanzi 「紀」 (ki) character means to record, be disciplined, provide order. While the hangul equivalent, 「기」 (ki; gi), means energy, spirit, a banner, and a period of time; and is also a suffix used to make a gerund or an infinitive.
