I don't have to be
나는 대단하지 않아도 된다.
'성공'하지 않아도 괜찮다.
그저 즐거우면 된다.
무엇이 진정 즐거운지 찾아서 하면,
그리고 그렇게 함으로써 하루하루가 즐거우면
그게 성공이고, 그게 진짜 대단한 거다.
이제 성공의 족쇄에서 놓여나자.
불안이 아닌 희망의 렌즈로 내일을 보고 싶어.
의무나 명성이 아니라 기쁨을 위해 살았다고,
그래서 삶이 너무나 즐거웠다고 죽을 때 말하고 싶어.
I don't have to be...
Anything.
I will be what I want.
To speak no longer in the language of obligation and fear
But of joy and desire
Is the highest aspiration of life
And the noblest way to live.
I'm scared because freedom is a terrible, frightening thing,
(Thus spake V, and I believe him for he is wise)
And laughing at myself because I know the risk I take is vanishingly small
Compared to the size of my fear.
But laugh at me, do, for I am really a small-minded, sheltered woman
Whose fears outmatch any of her realities,
Petit-bourgeois, navel-gazing in the worst of ways.
Is there a point to all this? Does there have to be?
This is my own declaration of independence, in my narrow bourgeois way.
Freedom from expectations, freedom from self doubt
And aye, from obligation, that dour, sour-faced death of love.
I'm looking, I'm searching, seeking ultimately myself
Somewhere to belong, something to do, someone to be
I may find it tomorrow, next year, a lifetime later, never;
I may waste my potential, my money, my time, my life--
But I will never regret the search. This I believe.
