Courage, itemized.

Two days from October 2024, written about two years later: a fortress climbed at Suwon, a night clubbing in Hongdae, and the internal toolkit they developed in me.

  1. CI-01
    10.23.26

    Nothing to hold onto, all the way up

    Two fears climbed Suwon Hwaseong with me, but one thought kept me going.

  2. CI-02
    10.25.26

    The only trace of me she'll know is a claw clip from Target

    A drugged girl in a packed Hongdae club, a room of strangers who did nothing, and where the courage to cross it came from.
