“To the youth who have struggled to live without any worries.”

Then, it will be a little better day than yesterday.
The author delicately captures and depicts each moment of life, feeling and accepting the wounds as they are, and eventually overcoming them, with his unique sensibility.

I believe you can overcome everything calmly and firmly.
I will gently caress your tired shoulders and add comfort.

Into the book
To remain steadfast and unshakable in the face of life's adversities and the impulsive emotions that float through the dawn.
I can enjoy the trials that come to me and use them as a means of moving forward.
Rather than breaking down because you can't overcome your longing or depression, you learn to savor those feelings by listening to even sadder songs.
---From "Enjoy Life"
What's the worry? What feels so urgent? Everything has its time.
It will flow.
Late, the path will change.
Even if you're a little stuck now, you can still rise to the top of your neck.
Even though it's a bit shabby, it will flow soon.
---From "It Will Flow"
Oh, that wound is tear-jerking.
That I have endured until now.
And that it didn't collapse because of that.
It brings tears to my eyes to think of you, who endured the depth of that wound and moved on.
It's more of a miracle than any miracle.
I am proud of you for enduring such tearful and overwhelming emotions.
---From "Your Wounds Make Me Tearful"
Through countless processes of opening a heart that was locked away and then closing it again, and then collapsing again, the sharpness of relationships and the recovery of the heart are balanced, and you can live a life that is appropriately difficult, happy, beautiful, and affectionate.
So it's okay.
Don't be sick for too long.
Just don't let it fall for too long.
I believe it will all be a process.
---From "Evil Power and Calluses"
Finding a shining gold nugget in the narrow basket of succession.
Don't be so desperately afraid of the relationships that narrow as life goes on.
Don't feel sorry for those who are light and go with the flow.
Because only the heavy people who make me shine will remain.
---From "Sagam"
I miss the time you spent trying to overcome your fears.
How much fear and pain must have been in her, how much her heart, unable to do what she wanted, must have felt like a withered flower petal.
I know everything.
I hope your fear won't last long.
I hope my resentment toward you doesn't become too frequent.
I hope the warm afternoon sun isn't too harsh.
---From ""I ended up just spitting out words I didn't mean in front of love""
It must be done first.
And you have to fall down.
Still, we must move forward.
In fact, we know the method, but we keep turning away from it and only look for the easy way.
They struggle to raise their self-esteem by making promises rather than doing something.
Something to remember.
Sadly, our lives are not made up of thoughts and resolutions alone.
It must be done first.

Publisher's Review
“We must live like the wind and the waves.
There is no place to return to, but it continues
Like blowing and hitting
…(syncopation)
Living to survive
So, live as if you were alive”
Life doesn't always go the way you want it to.
We live every day in a way that doesn't go as planned.
You may feel overwhelmed by the number of events and emotions that occur within it.
As you read this book, may the countless darknesses of daily life, the pain and sadness that come with any relationship, all melt away.
Like a gentle breeze, or sometimes a solid rock, these delicate sentences will soothe your weary and tired mind and make it ripple like a clear river.
It has taken its place in the hearts of 500,000 readers.
A new work by author Jeong Young-wook, whom we trust and watch.
“What hurts for a long time is not a wound.
“It’s time for you to heal.”
Realistic comfort for those of you who still find life difficult.
A book filled with gentle comfort that will strengthen your heart.
Everyone has scars.
But there are more people who carry it in their hearts and live with it than those who just shake it off and get up.
It is clear that he considers the act of picking at the healing scab, touching it, and rubbing it is the best comfort he can give to his current self.
We stand wholeheartedly before the various experiences of laughing during the day and crying at night, being hit by people and having our emotions cut off, loving passionately and then breaking up bitterly.
The author says that this is also a part of life and that we should become numb but not discouraged.
Don't let fear hold you back for too long.
They say you have to fall to move forward.
We are all living this life for the first time.
So who can live an unfamiliar life as they please?
Experience is something you accumulate, and its accumulation becomes the nutrients you need to move forward.
That is why we are told to stand strong and alone in this age of loneliness.
Like an ointment that heals a wound.
"Gently but Firmly" is a book that provides gentle comfort, disinfecting the wounds of the heart so that they do not become worse, helping new skin grow, and caring for the scabs.
“Even if you don’t say everything, I know how hard it is for you.
“Believe that and keep getting better.”
“You must have had a hard time gathering all your worries and concerns.
“It’s our turn to sleep now.”
“So it’s okay.
Don't be sick for too long.
Just don't let it fall for too long.
I believe it will all be a process.”
May your days and nights be peaceful, may you remain true to yourself amidst the swirling emotions, and may you become a more mature person through love and separation.
Don't think that you have to carry around the feeling of bitter pain for a long time.
It may be natural to be born human and get hurt, but we should not feel burdened by having to live with that pain.
Once a wound is formed, it is meant to heal.
Because our bodies want it and need it.
The same goes for emotional wounds.
Don't leave it for too long, but watch over it until it gets better.
Isn't that truly the perfect comfort for 'me' that the author wants to convey?
