Contentment ... Lesson From Art Of Sarah. Loh #286

Okay let me just start by saying this clearly, I am not a horror person at all, like not even a little bit, i don’t like anything that will make me start imagining shadows moving in my room or hearing random sounds at night,please, my peace of mind is very important, so see yeah, horror movie is a hard pass for me.

So I am more into calm stuff, things I can actually enjoy without my heart racing unnecessarily, me I like romance, a bit of sci-fi, young adult kind of stories, just something soft but still interesting enough to keep me hooked , and if I am being honest, Kdramas and anime are really my thing these days, there is just something about the way they tell stories, it always feels more intentional and emotional.

So recently, I watched this Kdrama called Art of Sarah, and I am not even going to lie, I did not expect it to hit the way it did, see I downloaded it and I just clicked on it randomly, thinking it would be one of those normal, easy watches, but then as I kept watching, I realized this one was different.

First of all, the vibe of the series was just… something else, It had this mix of emotions, like love, tension, even a little bit of horror here and there, but not the kind that will scare you badly, just enough to make things intense, the storyline was really engaging, and the way the scenes played out felt very intentional, like everything had meaning behind it.

Now let’s talk about Kim Sarah and the dopple ganger herself , thier character was very interesting and kim Sarah herself she wasn’t perfect, In fact, there were times I was just there like, “Ah ah, why are you doing this now?” But at the same time, I could understand where she was coming from, that desire to be more, to have more, to be seen in a different way… it is something a lot of people can relate to, even if we don’t always admit it.

But the more the story went on, the more you start to see the consequences of trying to be someone you are not And that’s where the main lesson really hit me.

Contentment.

Being okay, with your life as it is is really important even when you are trying to make it better, this series taught me that if you keep trying to have a life that's not really yours you can get into big trouble, I do not just mean issues I mean serious and complicated problems that you could have avoided if you were just being yourself.

This series made me think about my life because sometimes we do not even know when we are doing too much or trying too hard to fit into something that is not meant for us, We are always comparing our lives to peoples lives we are adjusting to fit in and we are losing ourselves a little bit at a time and that is what this series is showing us about our life and how we live our life.

But this series just reminded me that there’s peace in being yourself, Like real peace, You don’t have to force anything or pretend just to feel accepted or successful.

So yeah, if there is one thing I took from Art of Sarah, it is this, be yourself, appreciate where you are, and grow at your own pace, because the moment you start trying to live someone else’s life, that’s when things start going left.

And honestly, I love stories like this, the ones that don’t just entertain you, but actually leave you thinking long after you’re done watching.
