Preface: The Subjective Self and the Spirit of Affirmation / Park In-gi

A sincere self-exploration to find the meaning of life

What makes Kim Mi-ran's prose so appealing is that her writing is very honest in revealing herself and that she deals with the pain of life through a strong subjective self.
As the title “Still, I’m a Happy Person” suggests, in reality he is fighting against conditions that make him unhappy.
Despite this, he strives to maintain the spirit of 'I am happy' and makes extraordinary efforts to protect his heart.
However, Kim Mi-ran's messages containing this orientation are not solemn and rigid like those in self-help or moral books, but rather portray the atmosphere of human fragility in a humane way.

Writing brings us to a truly magical mental process.
Trying to remember one's life fully and re-creating those memories through writing goes far beyond the simple meaning of 'recording.'
Looking back on the events of my life is an act of rediscovering myself from that time.
Because the process of writing becomes an act of seeking myself, I can reach a certain 'meaningful spiritual realm'.
Kim Mi-ran's writing reads like an honest and sincere journey of self-exploration in search of the meaning of her life.

We learn that writing is not simply a mechanical task of producing sentences, but a mental process of deep thought, reflection, rediscovery, and meaningful editing of various fragments of life.
Writing about my life allows me to confront the true meaning of my life, something we might not realize simply by looking back on it.
In other words, there is a mechanism within self-narrative writing that allows one to experience a certain state of mind where one discovers the secrets of one's life.

It's not something that just anyone can do to have the motivation to write about their life.
Although I just said 'writing,' writing an autobiography in this meaningful and active way requires an incredibly differentiated effort.
It seems that writer Kim Mi-ran has made some effort in this regard.
I hope that beautiful and abundant blessings will always come down from somewhere unseen for his life, which is filled with joy and pain.
I hope his writing continues unabated.
