Korean to Stay Connected

EP20. A Gift for Myself (나에게 주는 선물)


Listen Later

In this episode,
 I talk about giving myself a small gift
 after finishing a long week —
 especially after my last class and the end of my work.

In Korean, “나에게 주는 선물” means
 a gift you give to yourself
 to say, “You did well.”
 It doesn’t have to be expensive or special.

I share a warm moment at a flower shop,
 asking for the freshest flowers of the day,
 and choosing yellow tulips.
 That short time felt 따뜻하고 포근한 —
 warm and comforting.

This episode is also about realizing
 that I had been moving forward too fast
 and missing the people and things closest to me:
 my family, my friends, and myself.

Now, I try to save one full day each week
 온전히 나만을 위한 하루 —
 a day just for me.
 Buying flowers, eating my favorite food,
 organizing my space,
 and taking care of what I love.

Because the most important person
 I need to take care of in my life
 is myself.

🎧 Listen slowly,
 and think about what kind of
 small gift you might give yourself this week.
