What am I even supposed to say? I’m scared.
I don’t know how to begin. I don’t even know how to promote it.
If I’m being honest, I want to use this brand as a vehicle —
to do everything I’ve ever wanted to do.
An excuse to reach all of my milestones.
I want to prove myself. I want to create culture.
And I already know, deep down, that to do that
I have to start SNS. I have to show my face.
Still… I’m afraid to begin. I can’t even film a video alone in my room
knowing it might never be uploaded. I couldn’t even watch myself.
I always thought I had high self-esteem. Maybe I was wrong.
I can’t even say “thank you” properly.
In my head, I want to greet the bus driver loudly, to say “Thank you!” when I get off.
But I get scared. I thought I didn’t care about people’s eyes on me.
But I guess I do.
And maybe breaking the shell is simply doing the things that scare you
while your heart is shaking.
I want to prove that. I want to show it.
And maybe — if people see me change,
those who feel the same fear might find courage too.
So let’s just do it. Overthinking changes nothing.
Break the shell. Step into the world.
sCHEDULE
Until now, I’ve never truly lived with deadlines.
That’s why everything was delayed. That’s why plans fell apart.
Or my work was never finished.
I’m a perfectionist.
And if it wasn’t perfect, I refused to show my work — or myself — to the world.
But this deadline is necessary.
From one perspective, it ties me down. It pressures me.
But from another, it can become the tool that breaks my perfectionism.
So I made one. I’ve read and heard thousands of times that perfection doesn’t matter.
Now it’s time to live it.
I will show myself. And I don’t have to be perfect.
Within this time, I will do my best to create the best result I can.
If perfection happens, that’s good.
But if I chase it, I won’t break the shell. I won’t show myself.
And I’ll continue living a life where I’m never satisfied with who I am.
I wrote it before in my journey, didn’t I?
It’s okay if a few screws are loose.
I can tighten them slowly along the way.

The concept is already clear.

Let’s do it.
nEVER fORGET
- I can’t work under someone. I want to create freely — on my own terms.
My time is mine. Money is not what matters. We are already bound to money in this world. I don’t want to give them my time as well.
- I want to work freely. In Korea or abroad. I don’t want to be trapped in one place
- I know I’m afraid. But I have to break the shell. That’s the path I’m meant to walk.
- Nothing truly belongs to me anyway. So let’s not be greedy.
- Let’s live generously. Even if I’m not remembered by the masses, I want to leave my soul with a few people — as someone good.
