i figured that if I had one last chance to make a cheesy, overly sentimental speech, i might as well write it down and make it count.
In a year where we lived in a place where we never really knew what was going to happen next; whether it be exciting or scary, or frustrating, you guys were always HQ, home base. While people came into our respective lives, and sometimes left just as quickly, you were always there, and it was comforting to know that you had to be there contractually as well because we all have been fiscally tied to Korea.
But really, what I'd compare it to is familiarity, and with that theme in mind I like to think of us in the context of noraebang (Korean karaoke). I think about our lives in Korea as a drunken stay at noraebang, singing along to a foreign song we've only heard once or twice but now must recite, very much unlike "Total Eclipse of the Heart." That's the one joke I wrote into this speech. *pause for laughter* .. In that foreign song, however, where we dont really know that many of the words, the A-team is the chorus, always familiar and ever present. Even when the singing got hard, and the lines before made us feel out of place, out of tune, or altogether lost, whenever the chorus comes around you can hit every note and drunkenly bust out every line verbatim. i love you guys, a lot, and i'm just thankful you were there to sing with me into the late hours of the night.
