Love isn’t sacrificing something for the other person, it’s accomplishing something _ (It’s Okay That’s Love, Jo In Sung.) As a young woman in this contemporary society, there’s a conscious side of me always pondering the question of what I would have to give up in order to live the kind of life my culture and society expects of me?
