vata derranged

3:30 am wake-up call from my mother. 5 am check-in at toronto airport. 3 1/2 hour flight to dallas. 12 1/2 hour flight to tokyo. 3 hour flight to seoul. 4 hour drive to my apartment in gangneung with a 2 hour nap at the side of the road. with no sense of grounding, i've landed back in korea feeling dazed and confused. my survival instincts kicked in reminding me of my priorities- water. standing in the grocery store this morning, wearily and tearily looking around for anything that appealed to me to eat or drink and noticing nothing, my brother's parting words sprang into my thoughts; ' see you in a few years'.
