Life is like a Soap Opera

Putting on socks, why was it so difficult?

by Habaram 2024. 3. 3.

Just now, I put one foot on the chair and put on a sock, standing up.

I’m not sure if my left leg is numb or stiff, but I feel uncomfortable.


To put on socks, I had to sit down and put them on.

My body stumbled, and even if I lowered my head just a little,

my center of gravity seemed to shift and I felt like I would fall forward,

so I couldn't even try to put the socks on while standing up.

It hasn't been that long, but it feels distant.


It seemed like I couldn't do anything or didn't do anything at all

when I was hospitalized.

I remember trying to put on socks by myself at the hospital,

but it didn't work, so I never tried again from that moment.

When I came back home from the hospital, I started trying it again.

I remember feeling frustrated because it wasn't as good as I thought.

 

If this wasn't even good enough, how my life would be?

It was obvious even if I didn't look ahead...

Memories of my eyes going dark, and sobbing with mountain-like worry pass by.


Taking off and putting on pants was completely impossible

while standing with one foot.

One day, I decided to give it a try, so I tried it and it worked.

 

But I didn't even try anymore.

I was a little uneasy about putting it on, so I was worried that I might accidentally get hurt.

Then, I sat down on a chair to put it on and take it off since.

However, as it got colder and I had to move quickly.

So, I tried again and it worked.


It's the same today.

I got up, washed my face, changed my clothes,

and sat down in front of the computer,

but I felt like my feet were cold.

 

I felt like I needed to wear socks,

so I got up right away, found some socks, and put them on.

 

I hesitated for a moment,

but it was cold so I just tried it and I was able to do it.

 

A line from "The Guardian" drama comes to mind:

“There is no door that cannot be opened by a desperate craving to open.”

 

Maybe

it was because I was so cold that it sublimated into sincerity.


From now on, with what sincerity will I live my life?

That's the problem.

My body has improved so miraculously, but there is nothing after.

It is said that fruits grow where flowers bloom and fall.

 

I have never bloomed.

So, of course, the flowers won't fall,

and there won't be any after that.


Let’s take a closer look.

Maybe a flower has ever bloomed in my life so far.

Maybe I just don't remember.

I may have overlooked it without even realizing it.

 

I feel like there should be at least some hope,

but it seems like there are only bruises left where I have been living.

If you call that bruise a flower, it will change into a full blooming state.


Anyway, I am cruising towards the final page of rehabilitation.

Thankfully, the weather and wind were just right.

I am so grateful that I am cruising along as there are no better conditions than this.

 

Today is already the last day of February.

Tomorrow is March.

It feels like spring is already coming.
