Homecoming
Life feels real, or maybe fake. Maybe feeling fake is what makes it real. There’s no situation that doesn’t feel brand new even if I’ve done it a thousand times. It’s like stepping back in time. I’m putting on an old t-shirt and jeans I wore long ago and feel the movie is playing again except my knees feel a little more feeble, my hair even has a couple greys. People remember who I am while others have never known to forget.
The dust is settling. I’m here, and even if I wanted to, I couldn’t leave anyway. Reality code red is in full effect, but it still feels different. I don’t feel trapped by it, instead, I actually feel whatever I create this time is purely what I wanted. There isn’t some path I started and got pigeon-holed into the rest of my life. Breaking free and shipping out opened entire horizons, and now I’m back, I can be deliberate, “as fuck” like the kids say.

I’m on the complete other side of where I’ve grown up. It’s a fresh start.

New scenery
New memories. Japan was…only a little more than a month ago.. wild.

Still peaked my head in across the street expecting to see people I knew. It’s like a bizarro world where I woke up and everyone was gone.
I’ve been told I look prettier this way..
Finally a meal with 16.99
World peace

Moms backyard 😍
And she gave me tons of old magazines which she stuffed with an old Christmas Card from my aunt. Worth a read 😎
If you were guessing these were…
Instant polaroids! Instant might be the wrong word…😝
My squad ☺️😎
I feel so official. I have it hanging on my wall. It’s like all my life has actual physical presence now. Pictures, tickets, stories, and now a board with my name on it. My name is Keegan Kim, and I was a human here in the year 1990 on planet earth. Here is how it happened…
