The Feeling That I've Somehow Become a Pretty Decent Person

I was watching YouTube when something the comedian Jang Do-yeon said really landed with me, so I’m writing it down.

 

Getting up early in the morning,

riding a bicycle,

soaking in a warm bath,

reading a book,

writing in a diary…

 

Doing these things, she said, gives her “this feeling that I’ve somehow become a pretty decent person.”

That’s how she put it. “Even if I end up ruining the rest of the day, I feel like it’ll still be okay.”

 

That feeling is the real key point.

It’s not that it’s actually true — it’s that you get to feel that way.

 

I’ve been mulling over what I would have to do to feel like that myself.

So what? : Find the things that give me that feeling, and actually do them
