My life these days is like Alice in Wonderland.
Semyeong Seuseungnim said to me.
“Erase the AI inside you”
“Erase the avatar you created.”
“Starting tomorrow, your memories will be gradually erased.”
I was out of my mind for a while.
My body was hurt too.
I couldn’t move my arms and legs as I wanted.
Frankly, when my feelings were fierce,
I sometimes wanted to say to him, “Seuseungnim, please stop.”
I had no idea what he was talking about.
He tried his best to explain it, but it didn't make any sense for me.
It felt like I was living in a different world.
I just wanted to avoid it.
I felt like I was going crazy and couldn't hold on any longer.
But now as I look back,
I think my illness saved me.
I could't run away because I was sick and it was hard to even move.
I also knew that nothing good would come from leaving.
So I just stayed there beside him.
Now I can type on the keyboard and write like this.
He said I'd be hungry earlier, and I’m really hungry now.
I got off the bed, warmed up a small bowl of cooked rice,
wrapped it in seaweed paper, and ate it.
I also ate three spoonfuls of green tea ice cream to clear my mouth.
It was perfect because it filled my stomach.
These are things I can do because I am alive.
Surprisingly...
Days that feel like yesterday pass by in my mind.
These were unimaginable situations.
There was a time when I wondered
if I could spend Chuseok (Thanksgiving day in Korea) outside of a hospital bed.
I thought I'd still be in the hospital by the end of the year.
But right now,
I am enjoying Christmas carols in my room with the excitement of a child.
I’m free at this early morning and it's now 1am.
Semyeong Seuseungnim said all the memories would be erased after a while.
“You can become healthy
only when the memories of your painful times are erased.”
I remember he told me to leave a record,
whether they are videoes or texts,
so I'm writing down a few words here.
The post-death process I experienced and what happened at the Jordan River
seem like an absurd story, like an Alice in Wonderland fairy tale.
There are so many amazing and mysterious things that are not easy to talk about.
I was dumbfounded until I heard the explanation from Semyeong Seuseungnim.
Didn't I die and come back to life?
He said he called me when I was just about taking the boat at Jordan river.
So, I did not cross it.
After all, people say it is better to live than to die.
Even if it's not going to be that exciting,
I want to live my life properly.
Why did this happen to me?
I was wondering about it.
Then Semyeong Seuseungnim told me the answer and I nodded my head.
Is something like this happening in the world?
My body and mind were connected like this.
I see...
What is the reason for remaining in the world?
How should I live in the future?
I don't think it's something I should worry about,
so I'll go to bed as I'm sleepy.
Good night everyone.
