This book provides special comfort and advice when you feel desolate and fearful about the future, when you must gather your courage to start new, when you have trouble in relationships with others, and when you can’t get over a past love.
“I decided not to disrespect myself in the pursuit of impressing others.
I cannot only think about myself,
but I need to take care of myself.
So I wish I would no longer allow myself to get hurt.”
Neither you nor I had any idea.
How disappointed we were by trivial things, how easily we gave up.
And how happy we became by a matter of nothing.
- from 「Ordinary Life that Had Been Changed All at Once」
