Garae-tteok, straight and still growing
Which rice cake are you? It takes 30 seconds with your birthday.
What this tteok is like
You pick a direction and keep going, like a tree that only knows up. Shortcuts that bend the rules make you itchy. Once you believe something is right, you tend to stick with it.
You are good at starting things. When everyone else is hovering, you are the one who takes the first step.
Sometimes you are so straight you nearly snap. Bending a little does not make you any less of a rice cake.
You get along with people who back you up without rushing you. Bonus points if they quietly handle the practical stuff.
A long walk or a hike fills you back up. So does starting to learn something new.
