#144, Unsaid

Over the next few months, classes will ebb and flow with new faces starting the school year at PEAI and others returning from a summer spell. The time we have together often ends abruptly without a proper sendoff. Such is the life of students and teachers in South Korea. It is not uncommon to have several teachers throughout the year and to meet dozens of new students along your academic path.

As we move from one place to another, often there are words left unsaid to those who were dear to us. The opportunity to give a proper goodbye does not always present itself and we are stuck with words held inside that never escape our lips.

To complete this Journal response,

Dear X,
