Isn’t a short-sleeve knit somewhat contradictory? I mean, you wear knits to stay warm. Why short sleeves? In winter, your arms would freeze, and in summer, your torso would sweat. Yet, there’s an undeniable charm. Look around. Someone in a white short-sleeve knit looks impossibly stylish, don’t they? It’s a logic I’ve generalized from plenty of experience. A white short-sleeve knit doesn’t suit just anyone. 

Have you heard about the ‘Climate Companion Card’? At first, I thought it was some promotional credit card. What’s up with that name? Anyway, this card allows unlimited use of subways and buses during the recharge period – though only within Seoul. I did some quick math. The monthly fee is over 20% more than my usual monthly transportation cost. I’m like a lazy hamster on a wheel, you see. Of course, the hamster runs way faster. 

Yet, I want it. It feels like life would become so dynamic. You could hop on a bus that just pulled up or switch directions and take the subway if it’s not your stop. Who knows, you might discover a cute cafe on a street you’ve never walked before. Since I carry everything from my laptop to books, I’m always ready to settle down and do something.

I’ve noticed that I often skip to the next video before a YouTube clip, a short, or a reel ends. If it doesn’t spark joy or interest, or sometimes even if it does, I just move on. In fact, often before I even decide if I like it or if it’s interesting, I’ve already moved on. The same goes for music since subscribing to YouTube Music. Thanks to the curation feature, I get exposed to new tracks, but most of them I skip after just a bit. They haven’t captured my heart yet; they’re not my favorite artists yet. So, with no guilt, I skip from the intro, the hook, or even before the vocals start -> Next, next, and next.

It’s a rather tricky temperature. We’ve escaped below zero, so wearing a thick coat feels like breaking the rules. At this level, buildings don’t even bother with heating. Just blocking the wind makes it bearable. But let’s be real, it’s not warm. On days like these, the only warmth is from my body, constantly losing heat. I step out hoping for spring, but end up dragging myself like I’m carrying a cold-blooded creature on my back. Spending the day in this chilly state makes an endless day feel even more daunting. Today will likely be no different.  

That’s always been the morning in San Francisco. 🌁 Even with the blazing sun during the day, the nighttime fog from the beach would sweep in, plunging the temperature. It was the same in summer. Who would’ve thought California could be cold? But that chill followed you home. Our rented place, a 130-year-old building, let the icy winds sneak in through every crevice, even with the windows shut. San Francisco buildings are equipped with heaters, not air conditioners, for this very reason. Though, the heaters were more noise than warmth. The despair of not escaping the cold even under the covers is something only those who’ve been there can truly understand. When Mark Twain said, ‘The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco,’ I bet he was muttering that at night, in bed. I’m sure of it.

Back then, I thought, what kind of weather is this? But now, that sort of – with daytime temperatures being about 10 degrees higher there – is the weather in Seoul these days. But, with double-glazed windows, insulation, and floor heating, we don’t experience that persistent cold here. Once you step inside, it’s like hitting the reset button.
