A lonely winter, a green spring, a summer I wanted to stay in for a long time
To our youth, which has passed but will never fade away

There are times when loving yourself becomes difficult.
At times like that, both our interest in others and our inner feelings lose their power to exist.
What if we called winter such a lonely and difficult time?
The author speaks.
“Just as spring follows a cold winter, a new day will follow our trials.”

In our lives, where we live in relationships with others, we ponder what kind of people we can become.
Every time that happens, there are people by our side who look at us with care and think of us.
The comforting words we glean from their gaze take deep root in our hearts.
Sometimes we feel like that sentence is “what keeps me alive” (“Some Sentences Keep Me Alive”), and sometimes that sentence lets us know that “there is someone who believes in us and relies on us” (“You Are Someone’s Hope”).

Their comfort gives us the strength to comfort ourselves.
As we live, we accumulate relationships and experiences, and at the same time, we face countless breakups.
Just as the scenery changes with the seasons, we learn how to mature by exchanging greetings, saying hello and goodbye.
Comfort received from others grows into a gravity that calms the inner self.

Let's create many scenes from life so that someone can smile when they think of me, so that I can smile when I think of that moment, so that the things I leave behind in life can become memories.
And let's be someone who can remain like that for my loved ones.
_ "Scenes of Life"

Deciding what kind of person you want to become is also a way of growing.
I am becoming more and more familiar with myself and loving others as I love myself.
Just as we have gleaned comforting words from the perspectives of others, we can now offer comfort to others.
“Like the sunlight that comes through the cracks of life” (“Sunlight that Comes Through the Cracks of Life”), our gaze, which was closed alone on a winter day, warmly expands to capture the green spring.
If you do that, you will be greeted by summer with the sunlight shining brightly above your head.

This book talks about happiness, love, and small changes.
Our mind builds its strongest muscles using these smallest, most abstract things as its framework.
So that it will be okay to pass through youth with a heart that will not break, and even if you pass through the most splendid season and then face loneliness again.
It's okay to be lonely again.
We already know how to accept comfort from others and how to cherish and love ourselves.
Just as the winter we face is not a fleeting moment, our spring and summer can also come again.
The voice that speaks of our youth, of the peace built up with small happinesses, will never fade, is warm.
