We're not the only ones who think
#namjooning
is essential. This is an old tweet, but the National Gallery in Singapore has a Namjooning tour and it's on until July 21, 2024, dedicated to self-care and mindfulness. I will be checking it out soon! (hema)
The Namjooning tour brings you through stunning artworks housed in the UOB Southeast Asia Galleries, paired with BTS songs that capture similar themes. Experience the route in-person or virtually – in English, Chinese, Malay, Tamil and Korean! ✨

This. A 100%! Self care first. 💜
People often talk abt how writers must toughen up to rejection bc it’s part of the gig and I agree but I also think it’s okay to take a break from submitting if you feel soft and wait til you feel strong again.
