“Am I satisfied with my life now?”
If you are asking yourself if you are living well

I had trouble sleeping last night too.
All night long, I think about the slip of the tongue I made the other day, the embarrassing moment I got angry over something trivial a week ago, and the friend I lost contact with a few years ago because I was lonely.
These regretful thoughts keep going on and on, and I end up blaming myself, and I feel like I could die because I'm so unhappy with my current self.
People who live with high self-esteem and satisfaction with themselves are from another world, and I am getting further and further away from the person I wanted and hoped for every day.
Who hasn't experienced something like this in their lifetime? We all know that we are the most important people in life, and that we must love ourselves.
And I know that's a good life.
But I really don't know how to be satisfied with myself and love myself.


“I can’t give you anything great, but I can give you a small piece of chocolate every day.”
The daily gifts I give myself to live well

There is nothing special about how you love me.
Just give me a little gift every day.
But most people don't know that.
"I Want to Be in Your Heart Today Too" clearly tells me why I should give myself a gift and what kind of gift I should give myself.
On days when I feel shady, I go to a sunny place and photosynthesize to refresh my body and mind. On days when the weather is clear and sharp, I distance myself from everything and spend time alone.
As I get older, I deliberately celebrate my birthday, which has become more trivial, and I take the time to constantly ask and answer questions about who I am and what I want now.
The author of this book says that these are gifts that I give myself, and that I try to give gifts every day because, ultimately, I want to live well and do what I like.
Even if we can't do something incredibly great and nice for ourselves, if we just put a small piece of chocolate in our mouths, we can become a little more like ourselves every day.


“That’s how I become me.”
A life that suits my heart, without comparing myself to others or following the world's standards.

"I Want to Be My Favorite Today" is a picture diary that records the author's struggles over the past several years to find the answer to how to live a life that pleases him.
It also includes heartwarming pictures and short quotes here and there.
Some diaries resonate with me as if I've stolen a glimpse into my own, and some diaries are so unique and admirable that I find myself wanting to emulate the author's efforts to live well.
As I read the warm pictures and text, the desire and will to live a life that I like naturally arises.
Through this book, those who already love themselves and live a life they like will learn how to observe and love themselves from a broader perspective. For those who have not yet learned how to love themselves, this book will be an opportunity to learn how.
