Hi Jen!
I quickly looked at Beep Me thread and fucking hell. That's a lot of heartbreak. I am sorry for all your losses.
I'm doing well, same job, same city (Pittsburgh). Made a long-delayed trip back to Korea last year after 25 years away, which loosened something in me. Trying to stay fit, but post menopausal metabolism just laughs at my face.
Dived head-first into K-pop fandom a few years back under the excuse of getting in touch with my roots, etc., made some friends, and now we are travelling to multiple cities to see BTS including a jaunt to Vegas last month and a trip to Europe in 2 weeks. Who would have thought this would be me 5-10 years ago, but I'm going with the flow, haha.
I figure, life is sad, and wonderful, and hella short, and it's up to us to squeeze what joy we can out of it.
