Into the book
It seems like it would be easy to escape reality with the word romance.
In those moments, I make a promise to myself that I want to continue living.
There will be days when life is not easy and you feel despair.
But when I sing about happiness clearly, I feel overwhelmed with the feeling of being alive.
In front of the tiring task of living, I want to console myself by saying, “Nevertheless,” and saying that it was a good day.
--- From "Romantic"

Each time you face a different adventure, you may experience trial and error several times without getting used to it.
It's something that everyone experiences.
I hope you don't blame yourself for the mistakes you make on your new adventure, but rather slowly embrace them.
I hope that those who hear the stories of adventures that have come before them will continue to move forward with their own maps in hand.
On that journey, I hope you discover a new side of yourself that you never knew existed.
--- From "Adventure"

We repeat an incomplete day as we experience the feelings and emotions we encounter for the first time.
Some days you may be happy to find a shining light, and other days you may be frustrated when you come across a dead end.
There will undoubtedly be confusing days when you wonder what the point is in trying to reach something without even knowing exactly what the end is.
And yet we keep moving steadily towards something.
It's okay to pause for a moment, afraid of the uncertainty of not being able to give a definitive answer.
As the moments of experience accumulate, we will become complete.
Those moments accumulate and make you a small expert in life.
--- From "Repeat"

Every time I make an awkward expression, an awkward feeling seeps in.
I feel awkward and wonder if I am accepting it well, as I am experiencing emotions for the first time in my life and cannot overcome them.
The feelings that cannot be called anything are hanging on the wall, waiting to be named.
As time passes like that, moments become named and become my one and only emotion.
That unfamiliar feeling is slowly settling in.
There were some familiar expressions in front of him, but some expressions seemed like they would never become familiar.
--- From "Unfamiliar"

Stories that always remain the same temperature, even though I read the same text every time, I don't get bored.
As time passes, I cherish the records called letters even more because of the fact that you still have my moments and I still have your moments.
It's easy to forget who I was in the past.
Even I tend to forget what kind of person I was.
At the same time, memories that have been accumulated for a long time often overlap, so I vaguely remember you.
But the image of you left in the letter is very vivid.
Whenever I come across your speech and habits that remain the same even after time passes, I laugh because I know you.
In a world where everything changes every moment, it is comforting to know that nothing will change.
--- From "Record"
My toes look like my dad's.
Mom strokes the round, chubby toes on her little feet and says they look like bunches of grapes, like Dad's feet.
It was funny how the second toe stuck out so much that it seemed like there wasn't enough room on the little feet, but it's kind of funny when I think about how my dad's toes are like that too.
Even if it's just a small part, when we think that we resemble each other a little bit, we can't help but feel a pang of longing.
--- From "Affectionate"

Whenever I hear stories of people with strong hearts, people who live by the values ​​they hold dear, people who would not trade them for anything, I cannot help but love them even more.
A heart that holds love seeks out and embraces more love.
I hope that we can freely express and share this feeling and live in a cool and circulating way.
--- From "Admiration"

Publisher's Review
“Are you someone who experiences a lot of fear and anxiety before starting something?
Do you feel like you can't move forward and are always falling behind?
“Do you keep wanting to hide because it’s hard to face my true feelings?”

50 Words of the Chorus, Chosen to Explore Emotions
A dictionary of emotions that reads the dictionary definition and the definition of dance side by side

The book "Emotional Dictionary for Little Experts in Life" by author Danchum, who meticulously noticed that the emotions that visit me every day are each different, has been published by Yuyuhi.
Danchum, who went through a time when she was so concerned about other people's feelings that she ended up losing sight of her own, now practices quietly looking into her own heart without avoiding it.
Even though it felt like days of anxiety, as if I had nothing in my hands, Danchum realized through recording that life is not about resetting, but rather about gradually accumulating daily experiences and becoming a 'small expert in life.'

We need time to properly face emotions that can be too hot or too unruly.
When I couldn't hold onto that moment and felt the once warm thing gradually rustling and drying up, I decided to stop dancing for a moment.
I found the courage to unravel the tangled emotions one layer at a time.
That's how the "Emotional Dictionary for Little Experts in Life" was born.
This book contains 50 emotional words that express our feelings, and the dictionary meanings of the words are written along with new definitions given by the author.
Each word is accompanied by a short comic and essay featuring cute and lovable characters.

Have you ever carefully considered and properly named the emotions that come your way? If you're feeling overwhelmed by inexpressible emotions and need a way to understand your weary heart, open this book.
Danchum gives me the strength to start practicing at my own pace, waiting for myself, so that I can look at myself lovingly as I try and improve little by little every day, even if it's not perfect.

“I have more precious things that make me want to live.
“The more I loved and hugged you tightly, the more I wanted eternity.”

Anxious: the feeling of being unable to keep up with the pace of the world and moving forward on my own

Anxiety was one of the most powerful forces that moved me.
I had no choice but to rely on the anxiety that would push me to reach higher heights, even as I kept myself busy, urging myself to keep running forward without a moment to spare.
Suddenly I look out the window of a moving bus.
Everyone passing by is busy living their own lives.
As I slowly walked around people and let go of the anxiety that was weighing on my feet, my heart felt a little lighter.

Living: A Wonderful, Difficult, and Beautiful Thing

One day, when it was natural to run towards a certain goal every day, you suddenly find yourself unable to find your next goal.
I got up to meet a friend who had called me while I was lying there listlessly.
My friend says as he watches people walking.

“It is truly admirable and beautiful to strive to live.”

The fact that just living is the reason for living hit me lightly.
On the way back, Danchum makes a promise to himself.
A promise to eat well.
A very simple and humble promise, just for me.
I hope that there will be days when I feel a sense of exhilaration at being alive in the seasons ahead and in the lives of tomorrow, as I look forward to them with my hands clasped together.

Forever: The number of precious things that make you want to live longer increases.

There were days when I lived each day with just one day's worth of motivation.
Sleepless nights due to anxiety and fear.
Those were the days when I only looked one step ahead and took groping steps forward, rather than dreaming of the distant future.
It was the stories of other people's world that told me that it was okay to raise my head and look a little further ahead.
Every time I felt the vibration that the story created, I had a feeling that something was about to begin.

Beautiful: A moment when you feel like living kindly

The beauty of nature, life, and art touches somewhere in our body and mind, creating small ripples.
When that beauty brought tears and laughter to his eyes, Danchum murmured that he wanted to become someone who could fully accept that beauty.
Every time I had the illusion that I had briefly owned that moment, I wanted to live kindly without forgetting those moments.
The hearts of people who want to live beautifully come together to overcome anger, sadness, and despair.
That's how we connect and strive again.
As we sing of hope in life, we seek out more love and embrace it willingly.
