“For us, it is full of extremely personal pleasures
“We each need our own planet.”
Daily discoveries for 'me', the joy of favoritism

Taste [taste]
[Noun] The direction in which one feels like doing something.
Or something like that.

Copywriter Kim Min-cheol, who has won the sympathy of tens of thousands of readers by conveying deep and fragrant 'taste of writing' in 'Record of Every Day of the Week' and 'Travel of Every Day of the Week', now talks about 'taste'.
In "Taste of the Day," the author reveals his tastes in personal life spaces, objects, relationships, and travel, as well as his tastes in "work," which are not easy for office workers to reveal, based on the "meaning of taste" that has found its place.
And, as diverse as the process of changing tastes and concerns about attitudes toward other people's tastes, the category of 'taste' unfolds a wide range of stories.
Ultimately, the message this book delivers is one.
It is important to be conscious of the direction of my heart.
Because no one else can tell me which direction to go.
So, I can set aside other people's opinions, put aside my worries about an uncertain future, carefully examine my own mind, and make the choice that suits me best.
As the dictionary states firmly, it is a matter of responding to my heart.

Things remember.
The me who hid in a corner because I wanted to forget, the me who put it in a visible place because I wanted to remember it but ended up forgetting it, the me at the most sparkling moment, the me at the most pathetic moment, the me who wanted to be a little flashy but had to sit in a corner in silence in the end, the me who went on a pointless shopping spree to get rid of the shabby feeling.

Ultimately, we don't know what each object will remember.
It could be happiness, it could be a breakup, it could be regret, it could be kicking the blanket, it could be ticklishness.
I hope that memory isn't just a vague one.
We are too young today to have regrets like, ‘I should have done it then’ or ‘I was young back then.’
---From "I also want to wear a La La Land One Piece"

A rejection of the life of taking out excessive loans to buy an expensive house in an expensive neighborhood, paying off debt day by day in the hope that the price will rise, and postponing present happiness.
A declaration to live well now by decorating well now without any expectation of getting rich later or getting a loan from our little one.
(…) The moment they saw the house we had decorated, they immediately understood our declaration.
That's when I realized.
Living the way I want, living the way I want, is a declaration more powerful than any words.
That ultimately, the right to declare my life belongs to me.
---From "A Certain Declaration"

Work is powerful.
As I live my life in a hurry, work soon takes up the most important place in my daily life and I smile mischievously.
“This is urgent, do I have to leave early today?” “This is really important, can you postpone your vacation?” These are the words that keep coming.
There's the desire to do a good job and the pressure to do it well this time.
It's almost impossible to insist on my privacy in front of him every time.
That's why I tell myself more often.
Advertising comes second.
Of course, this is just my values.
To me, the working me is important, but everything else is also desperate.
---From "It's the Second Time"

At the age of twenty-six, I had no idea how serious a problem it was.
How could your husband say something like that? Oh my, it must be hard for you.
That was the end of it.
But now I can feel the problem with that statement from my duodenum to my little toenails.
So, when I meet people who use the phrase 'help with housework', I sigh.
“These days, if you don’t help with housework, you’re in big trouble.
“They say life is harder for men.” Or, “But my husband helps out a lot with housework.” These are words that both men and women use so casually in their daily lives.
The violence hidden in those words.
Where and how did it go wrong?
---From "Let's have fun till the end"

There is a copy from Japan Railways that says, 'If you lack adventure, you cannot become a good adult.'
Even if you regret it later, give it a try.
Even if you come to the realization late, give it a try.
Despite countless failures, I still support 'Garo-late'.
Because we still need more adventures.
Because we need to become better adults.

---From "'Lately Speaking'"
