Into the book
"Where should I start talking?
I didn't want to comfort you by saying that the end would soon be in sight as you went through the long tunnel.
Anyway, once you exit that tunnel, you will soon be thrown into the darkness of another tunnel.
But you will find out.
If you go through several tunnels, you will soon reach your destination.
It may be somewhat different from the destination you set when you departed.
But you and I, we know.
What's important is not the destination, but the growth and maturity along the journey.
As a writer, the pressure from those around me to earn a stable income right away was choking me because the results were important.
Do you remember?
Your words of encouragement to me that I was doing well and to just keep doing what I was doing.
You and I, we are all just passing through our own tunnels, but what is the meaning and what is the outcome?
But when I come out of the tunnel for a moment and face the sunlight, I will give you a little of my leisure, warmth, and time in the tunnel.
Let's walk together."
--- From the text
Do you know how many times a newborn baby falls before learning to walk? It takes roughly two thousand falls before a baby can take their first steps into the world.
At just twelve months old, I overcame a thousand failures and succeeded in walking on my own two feet.
It's two thousand times.
I live a life that is less than a year old, like a thirty-year-old.
Where did the two thousand courage go?
Now, even after one or two failures, I am scared and afraid to take on challenges.
Could a one-year-old baby learn to walk again without feeling pain from falling?
If you think too much, you will be tired, and if you have a rich imagination, you will be miserable.
Sometimes I just want to throw myself away without thinking.
I hope that even if I fall and fail, I will have the courage to get up again until I succeed.
I blame myself for feeling like a child who has only grown up, or like an old fetus still swimming in its mother's womb.
Let's not forget that we are the 'me' who has overcome two thousand failures.
I have stronger muscles in my body and mind than I did a year ago, so I hope I can fall and get back up again.
--- From the text
We must live flexibly.
A life where you can get up quickly even if you fall is better.
Trying not to fall and living in fear of being in trouble if you do fall is like going into water with a cotton ball on your back.
I wanted to be a person who is not shaken by anything and has a straight mind.
I guess it's a good thing I realized it now.
Straight things are easy to break and easy to get stuck in their own mold.
So I want to live a life that bends easily but quickly returns to its original place.
It's the same story, most of us want to not get sick.
But since we can't possibly live without getting sick at least once, what we should really hope for is the ability to recover quickly even if we get sick.
Even if the content seems similar, when it is applied to the mind, it will bring about clearly different results.
Rather than struggling to hold on, I'd rather be able to get up when I fall.
You may fall, you may fail, you may fail.
As you live, there will be many days when you feel sick.
Every time, I believe that 'resilience' will be the power that saves my life.

Publisher's Review
"You're so honest, you keep so many secrets?"
A diary written on yellow paper for a full year is now out into the world.
I thought about the honest people I've met in my life.
They never betrayed their feelings.
There was no effort to hide one's feelings, and there was no delay in expressing them.
So I admired them because they didn't know how to deceive themselves.
I run away.
Maybe your friend is right when he says, "Why do you always put yourself last?"
My bad feelings are the last thing I have to deal with, and I've always been worried that if I don't consider the person right in front of me, our relationship will be damaged.
I was nowhere to be found.
When I, who had disappeared and was the last one left, was lost and wandering, it was paper that listened to my cries without saying anything in return.
Only in front of a piece of paper that no one could look at could I be as honest as them.
I cried for a long time on paper, and I was frustrated and angry in front of it.
But just the occasional act of writing could soothe my heart.
So, I read each and every one of the words that contain my ‘honest self’ out loud again.
No, but was I really honest on this piece of paper? Didn't the effort to be honest just make the secrets bigger?
This book is a collection of fragments of emotions and thoughts.
But I wonder if the true feelings inside are still not revealed.
Then, those people I admired so much, whose honesty was their weapon, might also be people who are so honest that they have many secrets.
Because we all have at least one secret.
Isn't it true that we live pretending to be honest in order to keep our secrets from being revealed?
I'm writing today as well.
I write with honesty disguised as secrecy.
I hope that my secret will be revealed to those of you who read my honesty at least once.
I wish someone would take my secret out and tell me this.
It must have been very burdensome for you to live with so many secrets.
I hope this book will be honest enough to hold each other's secrets, even if it's just for one person.
