Today a Korean girl messaged me, saying

This is the worst summer she's had since coming of age.
This year she got laid off.
She threw all her salary into the stock market.
One circuit breaker while using leverage caused her to go bankrupt.
Airfare is heavily discounted everywhere, but she'd need to save three years' salary just to casually fly to an island for a swim.
Today, walking in Seoul,
suddenly everyone on the street stopped what they were doing,
hugging each other and crying together,
because the Korean team was eliminated.
She said she's sad, with a feeling that humanity has no hope.
I comforted her, saying if that's the case, why not eat some watermelon?
