I run an Instagram account, but I use it as a small, self-satisfying reading log.

I have often participated in book supporter activities for publishers like Woongjin Knowledge House, Willbooks, and Cachi, but I have rarely participated in other supporter activities. (I am also participating in the "Wearing Hangul" supporter activity these days, but I will talk about that another time.)

But I was fortunate enough to be selected for the Morning Glory Supporters, also known as "Mo-Kkum-i" 26th generation!

The 26th generation of "Mo-Kkum-i." I have many fond memories of buying Morning Glory products as a child, but I never imagined I would be participating in their supporter activity. At first, I had a lot of doubts about applying because I'm not good at taking pictures and my account doesn't have a large influence. But I thought it was a precious opportunity to miss out on if I didn't even try, so I applied, and luckily I got the chance.

Truly, life often unfolds in unexpected ways. The things I wondered "Will it really happen?" are now happily connected to me. The fact that I took a step into a new challenge brought me great joy. Maybe my frequent use of Morning Glory products as a stationery lover was a gift for this opportunity. :-)

I opened the welcome kit and was filled with excitement, feeling like I was getting a present after a long time. Although the shipping box arrived in a heavily damaged condition, thankfully the items sent by Morning Glory were all okay.

Especially the paper sachet is my favorite! I don't usually keep air fresheners in my room and often air it out, but I'm quite sensitive to scents, so it's hard to find an air freshener that pleases my nose. Luckily, the scent of the paper sachet in the "Mo-Kkum-i" welcome kit was a scent I liked.

Just like I was overwhelmed with fear and hesitated at first, I think everyone has a tendency to limit themselves. In such cases, I believe it's important to have the mindset of "if it doesn't work out, it's okay, but if it does, it's even better," and just try it. Only those who have experienced it can know the precious value of breaking down the walls of limitations we create for ourselves and taking a step forward.

I will continue to cherish these opportunities for challenges and strive to walk my own path to the best of my ability in the given circumstances. With the belief that every moment in life can be an opportunity given to me, I want to live in gratitude for new possibilities.
