i'm back home from going to Il-lo (my mom's hometown in the countryside in southeastern korea) for chusuk. it was nice to see my relatives, even though it was for a very brief time. by the time i arrived there, everyone had already gone to visit my grandmother's (on my mom's side) grave, so i had to go alone with one of my uncles this morning. it

i also envy the fluidity of my relatives' interaction with one another. sometimes, i can sort of get into a groove with them too, especially my younger cousins because they have a great sense of humor. but it takes a lot of effort and a sort of blank mind, like meditation or somehting. i've noticed that if i go to a family gathering with all this baggage, i'm less inclined to concentrate on connecting. it sucks that i have to concentrate so much on it. my other problem is that because my relatives are not used to having me be part of their lives, they don't really make a whole lot of effort to see me, even the ones who live in seoul! except on the major holidays, i always have to initiate seeing them which is hard because i'm lazy or busy or just preoccupied with other things. the end.
