And then Da
The third English name I had was "Da."
This wasn't intentional. People called me "Da" because they forgot my full name "Da Eun."
And I let them.
Da means entering adulthood, effort to claim the identity, and facing emotions directly.
Da started to visualize her emotions like sadness, anxiety, anger, etc into sequences of stories of understanding.
Storytelling is the beginning of knowing. Of understanding. And healing.
So now I have grown up enough to call myself, Da Eun.
Even if others, tell me otherwise.
Have you ever seen those mermaids in the aquarium?
They seem to be the most magnificent swimmers, breathing underwater, not blinking once, and smiling happily.
But what goes on behind that performance?
After all, they are human.
