This idea came to me when I was listening to Hyukoh’s new album. As I heard Oh Hyuk singing “tell me what you’re fighting for” over and over again in the song “Kite War”, I also started to ask myself this exact question: what am I fighting for? There must be a consistant reason, a will that resides in me before I even realize, an urge that pushes me to persue this life that I am living now.

For now, I think what I am constantly fighting for is my freedom. The ability to live independently, to be free from coercions of any kind (especially authoritarianism), to speak the words that I believe in (and this blog might be the true start of it).

Consequent to the lyric mentioned above, I recalled that there is a famous quote in the Norwegian orginal show “Skam”, a note that was put on a character’s bedroom door, saying that “everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. be kind. always.” And it hit me as I realized how powerful this question is and how important it is for me to understand the battle that my cared ones are fighting.
