I found my side
Found it, my side
Description
Book Introduction
Kim Tokki's prescription for human relationships for those of us who are always struggling with relationships.
“The more complex it is, the simpler it is. The better it is, the narrower and deeper it is!”


I think, 'I just want to get along with people I like and who like me,' but relationships aren't that simple.
I want to run away from the person who is stabbing my heart, but I hesitate because I think, 'He's a really nice person except for this.' I want to tell him what's upsetting me, but I just groan for fear of ruining the relationship.
Sometimes I stay up late at night, wondering how many friends I need to have to live a good life, why that person isn't kind to me, what to do about the disappointment when I don't get back what I gave, and whether all these problems are my fault.

"Found It, My Side" is a book that deals with the problem of human relationships from which no one can be free.
The Kim rabbit featured here is a cute pink rabbit by artist Jisoo, who has 170,000 followers on Instagram.
In "Found It, My Side," Kim Tokki evokes empathy through episodes that everyone experiences at least once while forming a relationship, and offers a prescription for relationship troubles by shouting, "The more complicated it is, the simpler it is; the better it is, the narrower and deeper it is!"
Through this book, readers will be able to sort out complex relationship issues one by one and find the 'side of my life' that truly desires my happiness.

Chapter 1 I Don't Want to Live a Complicated Life
It's better than being alone though
My feelings aren't wrong.
Those who will go, those who will come, those who will stay
One special friend, not jealous of ten acquaintances
As much as I can
It's not that I'm sensitive, it's that I'm delicate.
It doesn't matter how you look
People who are always on my side
The person I should know best
A relationship where I like myself more
* Because not everyone is like me

Chapter 2: Science Together
There is no perfect person, no perfect partner.
Think of the people who truly want you to be happy
What about small and simple human relationships?
Relationships can be both empty and full.
The person I really need to take care of
A relationship that needs no explanation
Why we fit together
We still have similarities
Something that connects us
Science is like that
* The 'Kiri's' next to me

Chapter 3: Even in relationships, there are times when you need to be kind.
So what if I'm not loved
What's the point of being okay if I just endure it?
I want to talk but I don't want to talk
People who don't think about my wounds
When you have to be brave and talk
No one knows until they meet
There are many relationships that don't necessarily hurt.
Don't meet anyone
It got deeper when I emptied it
When you are full of only good energy
* Find an appropriate distance

Chapter 4: In the end, it's my people who keep me alive.
My happiness is mine
People who fill my happiness
A dreamy feeling that I unexpectedly gained
The best thing I ever did
Narrow and deep for a long time
Things that become clearer and more precious as time goes by
I'm more grateful because it's not something I take for granted
Together we are invincible!
Even if you choose again
People who keep me alive
* Happiness is in 'us'

Into the book
Not everyone is as sensitive to emotional stimulation as I am.
If you try to understand yourself and others in this way, you will have less to worry about and worry about other people's intentions.
Even if you get hurt unintentionally, if you think about it again, it becomes okay to just let it go.
Of course, I have no intention of keeping someone who frequently sets off alarm bells around me, let alone understanding them.
Yet, finding a way to recover from the pain caused by too much stimulation is a necessary escape in human relationships.
--- p.64

After a tough process, there are still people who remain by my side.
When I think of those people one by one, I am filled with a mixture of shame and gratitude, wondering, 'Am I worthy of being associated with those friends?'
At least I don't want to be someone like them, so I try to be as cool as them.
--- pp.103~104

When you get caught up in human relationships, you lose your balance and fall, but the pain doesn't end there.
I am tired and in pain, and I end up ruining my relationships with people around me and making them suffer as well.
Because healthy relationships are never built in a breathless rush.
Everyone needs space to catch their breath.
There, you need to take time to relieve yourself of the stimulation given by others.
I try to find a suitable distance and be someone who can be alone sometimes.
To protect not only myself but also the relationships I cherish.
--- p.145

There is probably no relationship that only brings happiness.
Every relationship comes with a shadow of sadness and loneliness.
But these days, as I'm trying to sort out relationships that felt like ill-fitting clothes and find the right distance in the relationships I have left, I'm finding myself feeling more satisfied with my relationships.
The fullness of heart at that time is something I have never felt before from any consumption or any accomplishment.
Getting into a relationship turned out to be the best thing I ever did.
--- p.187

Publisher's Review
My 'biased' side is the best, always wishing for my happiness!
Relationship essay by author Jisoo, who has 170,000 Instagram followers.


Can we find "my own side" and "happiness" in human relationships, which are like unsolvable homework we must solve throughout our lives? Jisoo, a beloved author known on Instagram as Kim Tokki, began writing this book after observing herself, confident in her ability to fulfill her individual responsibilities as a member of society, but still lacking confidence in interpersonal relationships.
The author describes himself as “a person who is more moved by human relationships than anyone else, but is far from being a networker who can easily create good relationships.
A person who has more nights of worry and tears than nights of happiness.
“I am a person who feels out of breath and has a pounding heart from the morning on days when I have to go to a wedding hall where many people I know are present.”

As we follow the story of the author, who is not much different from us in our worries about friends and people, we find clues on how to untangle the tangled web of relationship problems.
"Found It, My Side" begins with Kim Tokki, a somewhat timid person when it comes to relationships, visiting a kind counselor named Mr. Rat to share his relationship concerns.
The book shows you how to find true peace and happiness, one by one, such as 'maintaining a healthy and appropriate distance', 'emptying unnecessary relationships', and 'taking care of those who are truly important to you first'.


The author says that while relationships can be frustrating and frustrating at times, the constant courage to build a good relationship will ultimately lead to finding your partner.
If you're still struggling with socializing and feel like you don't have anyone on your side, try following the prescriptions in "Found It, My Side" by starting with something small that you can do within the relationships you can handle.
Then, you will definitely be able to find a relationship where you can say, "Please take care of me today too, my biased side!"


I'll give you the courage to create better relationships!
Kim Tokki's gift to me and my people who keep me alive

There are people who throw out sharp words, claiming they are heartfelt advice.
If you endure these moments, thinking, "If I just leave this one thing out, the kid's fine," "Shouldn't we just get over this?" or "Maybe I'm just being overly sensitive," will the relationship ever get better? In "Found It, My Side," Kim Tokki addresses this concern as follows.
“No… it’s okay!”, “No… hold it in!”

Of course, it's not easy to express your dislike.
This is because, although I have decided to talk, I am also worried about what I will do if I say something like this and he hates me.
But there can be no relationship where you can endure it alone and be loved by everyone.
Author Jisoo realized this through human relationships that were either being organized or being organized despite constant effort.
And in 『I Found It, My Side』, which is full of his own experiences, he teaches you how to escape from bad relationships and create better, albeit narrow, relationships that are deeper.

Through Kim Tokki, the author recommends focusing on healthy relationships that allow you to like yourself more, saying, "There are many relationships that don't necessarily hurt."
If you find yourself in the middle of a relationship where you're the only one trying, or feel obligated to be loved by everyone, why not try saying, "It's not okay!" or "I can't stand it!" like Kim Tokki?
You will gain the courage to create better relationships.
Just as there are no perfect people, there are no perfect relationships.
There are relationships where the person you cherish the most leaves you feeling lonely and empty, and there are also relationships where just thinking about their face brings pain.
Nevertheless, Kim Tokki's journey to find his 'side', which always reminds him of his 'side' who supports him and balances the relationship, ultimately teaches us the importance of a relationship that makes us cherish and love 'oneself' more than anyone else.
