exploring blog archives: iliketoforkmyself, october 2008

Daul Kim, the blogger behind iliketoforkmyself.blogspot.com, was a Korean model and rising star in the fashion world.  On her blog, she shared a glimpse into her life as a model, and also the insecurities and health issues she faced.  Daul tragically took her own life in November 2009 at the age of 20, but her poetic blog posts and photography remain on the internet:






ah
so
im in london and kind of ghetto life style at the moment
my laptop broke in paris and stil havent fixed it or anything

i was dead last week passed out for like...3 days then 2 days straight
so i dont have energy to do anything

been thinking alot.

been in the bath tub alot

and been having lots of weird...dreams
sometimes scary
and repetitive

and i look forward to it every nightnow”


“after i uploaded some funny photos of this series took by
lovely lucas ive got some upset emails and comments from
innocent or not so innocent koreans saying or worried
or asking if im on drugs or if someone is giving me drugs
wondering if i did this when i was high, or saying they are
dissapointed in my behaviour etc etc

thank you but
i dont care”
