Year Of The Rabbit - Dear Luna



Dear Luna,

The year of rabbit has just begun, and if you are born in 1999, just like I was, then it is your year as well. Although I might not be in China celebrating the Chinese new year, this festival is actually celebrated all over Asian countries, and in Korea, they call it Seollal.

My day was filled with excitement as my cousin and I visited Lotte World, a theme park that is mainly for children, but any age will still enjoy it. But this new Lunar Year was celebrated at this theme park with shows and parades showcasing the beauty of this year to come. Back at home, this has never been something to celebrate. Normally I would simply see that google had changed their picture work to inform everyone that it is the Chinese new year. Luckily for me, this year I have the chance to experience to celebration differently.

But you know what I am more excited about? It is the year of the rabbit. The last time it was that year, I was eleven, about to turn twelve; I was in my first year of secondary school and everything was new. But now, I am twenty-three, in Seoul, a city that I have never been to before but already hope that one day I will be back. 
The year of the rabbit, symbolises self-reflection, all about working smarter, not harder. Which I think is something that many of us need to take to heart, even if we are not born during the year of the rabbit. After being in the chaos of covid and our lives changing abruptly, I think we all need time to sit down and think about what we want, and how to reach that goal. 

And what do I want?

To publish my books. 

And how do I reach that goal?

By being braver and taking chances.

I do wonder what this year of the rabbit will bring, and all I hope for is good luck, even when it seems as if luck is not on my side. 

Until next time, Luna ❤️❤️❤️
