"Help, Life Gave Me 12 Lemons"
by Seo Jung (Sammie) Yoon
July, 2018 - August, 2018 πTokyo, Japan π Kyoto, Japan π Seoul, Korea
When Life Gives You 12 Lemons,
1. Take them swimming.
2. Brush their hair.
3. Take them on a trip.
4. Hug them until something blooms in your shadow.
5. Help them save the day.
6. Hide them & seek them.
7. Treat yourselves.
8. Give them back to life.
I first started doodling lemons on random scraps of paper because I felt like life was throwing lemons at me, one π at a time.
This summer, I was fortunate enough to have the time to explore my thoughts and feelings as I embarked on some soul-searching adventures around Japan and Korea. Towards the end of my journey, I realized all I needed was some exciting change of perspective.
I wanted to do something with those sour lemons, but I knew I did NOT want to make lemonade.
So, I decided to give the clichΓ© a whimsical Sammie twist!
When life gives you twelve lemons, you can do 100+ things with them. I hope the lemons somehow made your day a little bit happier than usual!
Sincerely,
Seo Jung (Sammie) Yoon
