ROYGBIV

A true and sensational delight being passed down. From a recipe, the only recipe, of the truest version of myself.

I am the one that holds the secret ingredient that makes me, me.

To start off, the base consists of an incredibly strong belief system and one that I wear like a Red cape. Valuable life lessons that I have learned from growing up, and the experiences that pushed me forward, both good and bad. It made me a superhero, made me invincible, made me a tough warrior because I am still standing here on my own two feet.

In the middle are layers of talent. Talent to communicate, talent to uplift, and talent to speak the truth. What I use it for is not only for my highest good, but for the good of others. A life investment in a majestic span of international Orange that bridges the impossible and makes things possible for a crossover, the Golden Gate way.

And then there are more layers to talent in between. Creative writer, modern dancer, poetic dreamer, and great story teller. Some of them real and some of them still yet to achieve. But allowing room to dream even when awake with a childlike wonder. To create a whole solar system of my own with me as the yearning Yellow sun, surrounding myself with larger than life ideas to somehow conqueror the world. Then, being okay to push the boundaries and not hesitate to move through with confidence, confirming the Green light to go in the direction that aligns with my sole purpose.

Forging ahead now becomes the real test. On top of it all, can I stay true to myself in this world under different circumstances?

I can tell you my name is Hyun and that I was born in South Korea. That I am a gay 33 year old man and that my favorite color is dark Blue. But to truly stick to the core essence of myself is quite difficult, I must say. There will be moments of weakness, but I know the solution is simply one word: Try.

Try to become the person I want to be, so that when the night falls Indigo, there will be a sense of peace and the modesty of Violet covering the sky. And by the end of it all, I will know I have covered my basis of doing my absolute best of trying to show all the true colors of myself.

My name is Hyun and I am a modern dancer from Washington, DC. Writing has been a creative outlet for me, and it has allowed me to express my thoughts that I would not have otherwise, verbally. It has been a very helpful tool.
