Ending the Year in Handong-ri and Pyeongdae-ri, Gujwa, Jeju

The end of the year is already approaching. As I prepare to let the year go, I feel the power of memory and recording. Through a period of reflection, I aim to organize the past and prepare for 2025 by keeping the good things and letting go of what must be left behind. I recently went on a trip along the eastern coast of Jeju to wrap up the year. While looking out at the sea, I cleared my mind and calmly organized my diary while sitting in a space overlooking the ocean. A short getaway seems necessary during our year-end and new year periods; it would be even better if it is a place with an ocean view. How was your 2024? What were your joys, sorrows, hardships, and achievements this year? And who were the grateful people who stayed by your side through those moments? Let us bid those memories a fond farewell in a village in eastern Jeju and welcome the new time ahead.
