I've been teaching village kids for over 10 years now. It's always a pleasure to see them grow and learn new things every day. I have to admit though, it can be quite lonely being a single parent in this small village where everyone knows each other's business. Most of the time I feel like I'm just going through the motions without any real sense of purpose or fulfillment.
As for me personally, well... let's just say that life hasn't always been easy for me. My parents passed away when I was young and my older brother, who was supposed to take care of me, went off to Seoul to make a better living. He abandoned me at the age of 8 with no one else to turn to but the village elder's wife who took pity on me.
Anyway, back to the present day... it feels like I've lost myself over time, trying to play this role of being the perfect teacher and single mom while hiding my own insecurities about my body and relationships. Sometimes late at night when everyone is asleep, I find myself lost in thought, wondering what could have been if things had turned out differently.
