(Russian) Живи, как хочешь
Автор призывает к «заботе о себе», необходимой для свободной жизни, не переживая за стереотипы, навязанные обществом, и говорит современным женщинам, что важно оглянуться на себя и найти свое счастье.
При чтении посыла автора чувствуется искренность. Становление автора, как независимой женщины, кажется знакомым читателям, и при чтении наворачиваются слезы, а иногда появляется улыбка. Эта книга рассказывает о собственном счастье, и призывает любить себя таким, какой ты есть. Давайте отправимся на поиски истинного Я, и будем идти может не идеальной, но своей дорогой, не слушая наставления других.(English) You Can Live as You Want
Yun confesses that she thinks that the messy kitchen is just like her mind. Recalling the moment when she cut her finger on a piece of glass while cleaning up the messy kitchen and carried her child to a safer spot first, she says, “The thing that I need the most right now is to burst into tears and take care of and embrace my own heart that is broken like shattered glass.”
Yun advises us to reflect on ourselves and question as to how to fill in the gaps in our heart and every day of our life. The question is also to ask about “Is it right to live our life in accordance with the standards set by others, satisfying their needs?,” “What it means to be a good daughter, mother, and wife?,” or “Doesn’t it have to be me who stands at the center of the world?” While searching for the right answers for each question, the readers will realize that they must be happy to live as they want to be truly happy.
