To believe (or not)

 믿다.   It means: "to believe" in Korean. And, it's also something I nurture a deep difficulty when it comes to actually doing it - especially when it comes to myself. Korean is one of the languages I started since the first day of my life. Since I actually discovered how much I loved languages back in 2020 and, one of those I'll probably never actually achieve fluency.  It's okay, I'm not that bitter about it (not anymore, at least). When I started writing this, back in October, i was still figuring out the fact I had extreme problems with executive dysfunction. Hey, hello ADHD! And that maybe that's why i won't achieve fluency in Korean. Maybe that's why I won't restart learning Finnish and, no pun intended, finish at least a single textbook in it. I still know how to count. Yksi, Kaksi, Kolme, Nelja, Viisi... or even 하나, 돌, 세, 네, 마섯. Counting up to 10, counting up to 5 and still never quite understanding the fact it was supposed to calm me do...
