Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

20210417, #breakfastdiary 63, 9°C/light mist Half a cup of oatmeal, a cup of water, half a cup of soy milk, a little salt and cinnamon, and an eighth of an apple, finely chopped, all simmered briefly. Topped generously with apple, cranberries, and nuts — #ApplesCinnamonOatmeal *Recipe from Seo Jeong-a's healthy table on YouTube. A rare personal errand takes me out of the house on a Saturday morning; both the bus and the subway are quiet. I know that life doesn't go as planned no matter how hard you give it your all with a goal in mind. All I can do now is put my effort into just being diligent, today. Apparently Lee Dong-jin, appearing on #YouQuiz, said something like 'be diligent day by day, but let life as a whole take its own course.' It resonates to some degree, but if hearing that leads a lot of young people to just diligently grind through each day with no goal at all, that's a problem.
