Description
Book Introduction
“A quiet yet passionate way of loving life, Deulsa.”
120 Sentences That Awaken the Kindness in My Heart
When the curtain of anxiety falls, look at yourself again.
I'm sure you're not as bland and unremarkable as you think! I'm sure you haven't made the mistakes that ruined your life so uncontrollably as you think! It's okay.
If you give yourself a little time to be kind to yourself again.
- From the text
What do you do to fill the empty, quiet moments of solitude? In this age where dividing time and re-dividing it to maximize productivity and efficiency seems like the only way to truly live a "good life," intentional "pause" holds profound significance.
The philosopher Pascal said, “All our misfortunes come from the fact that we cannot enjoy the solitude of being alone in our rooms.”
This is why writing has the power to change our lives.
It gives you the gift of time to be alone and quiet.
Because it gives us, who live busy lives as if we are being chased, a chance to sit in an empty space and pause for a moment.
This book contains 120 sentences compiled by author Kim Ae-ri, who has been transcribing sentences from good books for over 20 years.
And it also includes the kind words of author Kim Ae-ri, who, while reading and writing those sentences, gained inspiration, healing, challenge, and courage, and was able to look at life with new eyes.
Author Kim Ae-ri describes writing as "a quiet but passionate way of loving life."
Because through writing, we can understand and take care of ourselves.
On days when your heart feels achy, why not take a moment to pause and reflect on your heart in silence, writing it down? It will awaken the tenderness hidden deep within you, warming and comforting your heart.
Your noisy mind will become clear and tidy.

Publisher's Review
The repetition of small, trivial things changes us.
A small routine that takes you from 'knowing' to 'doing'
Think of the books you stopped reading, the diary you left unfinished, the exercise you started but stopped doing... Think of all the things you resolved to do but gave up on. There have probably been times when you vowed, "I'll definitely do it this time," only to find yourself quickly losing your resolve.
There is no power in 'things that were put off', and if you keep making resolutions and then giving up, your self-esteem will diminish.
Instead of setting lofty goals, why not try small, daily actions like reading a chapter, writing a three-line journal entry, or exercising for 30 minutes? Transforming ourselves begins not with one intense act, but with living each day to the fullest.
In that sense, transcription is also a good way to practice consistency.
It's okay to write just one sentence, one word, or one letter.
You don't have to try to write pretty.
Write comfortably and naturally, as you wish.
Every day, little by little, it will get better and better.
If you think of it as putting commas here and there instead of periods, you will be able to move forward by connecting small and trivial things with commas.
By repeating these small connections, you can create a routine that turns insignificant things into something special, transforming them from simply "knowing" to "doing."
You can fill your ordinary and boring daily life with more richness and beauty.
So that I can find my own way and live better,
A slow but sure practice of looking into oneself
We ultimately learn and reflect on so many things to uncover the secrets of who we are and why we are here, and to do that, we need to have empty time and space.
In it, we think about ourselves again and contemplate the days ahead.
The more pointed and deep you dig, the better you will be able to live your life as yourself.
- From the epilogue
They say that sentences that are written with meaning in them become language that is deeply engraved in our hearts and souls.
So, writing is also about paving the way, little by little, but most firmly, in the direction I want.
When you think about something and wish for it, it becomes a seed that takes root on the path of life, but the act of 'writing' has an even more powerful power.
Put 'me' at the center of my life and look inside and observe what is in my mind right now.
I'm slowly starting to realize what kind of person I am, what my strengths and weaknesses are, where I'm spending my time and energy today, and ultimately, what kind of life I really want to live.
If you haven't found the answer to this question yet, listen to the words of those who have walked that path and set out to find their own life.
Discover sentences that will make you look at your life with new eyes.
These words will help you build a solid foundation for life, or even help you stand up again, at moments when you need comfort, when you desperately need support for your dreams, when your life's direction and values are shaken, or when you long to savor small moments of happiness and joy.
