Back with the Korean Blues
August 11th, 2007Weather: Rainy and hot
Mood: Mixed
Soul: Resigning
I am back in Copenhagen already longing for the hussling and buzzling sounds of Seoul. My daugther is happy and tired and so am I. This time was fun and I was ensured in continuing my search for my parents, but I will wait a bit until all the gathering impressions are dealt with. It was a good gathering, different than last time and not so much an “A-ha” experince as the first time. It was more parties and socializing and less workshops and discussions. I like the discussions and I missed the common experience we had the first time. Next time we have to mix a bit more.
When adoptees meet a dating frenzy starts. I get dizzy and a bit overwhelmed of the direct and intense dating - but I do understand the feeling of finally being in an environment where you are attractive, where people see you and not your race and where your chances for meeting the right person is higher than in our western context. But on the other side, this newfound attractiveness tends to galvanize people and especially the adopted men with a cynical attitude, that turns me totally off. I do not like people who needs to kiss 5 different people in one day because they can, I do not like hooking up with one person just to dismiss that person in the next second because somebody better looking comes by. I do not know why adoptees have a tendency to treat each other with a cruelty, I have not seen for a long time and I want to tell all of you, that you are better than that.
Guys - you do not become more attractive ore more desirable by hussling around. Girls, you are still worthy of loving - you don’t have to say yes each time. Besides from that, I hope some real love aroused.
My god, I am back in reality and back in Copenhagen!
