To you who wants to cry, to you who has hesitated.

A special edition of author Kim Ji-hoon's book, "I Will Embrace Your Heart" has been published.
This book was also recommended by Insight for “women suffering from depression,” and was recalled by many readers as a good book for depression and insomnia.
This book, which soothes your heart every night, doesn't offer the usual comfort of "Cheer up," but rather asks, "Are you having a hard time?" It understands and looks after the pain you've endured because you couldn't open up to anyone, and in the end, embraces you.
I recommend this book to you who has closed your heart to the insincere sympathy you receive in return after confiding in someone.
As you read this book, which is full of sincere and thick comfort, you will find yourself feeling at ease and comforted.

I won't take it lightly.
The weight of your pain, the trials of your weary life.

“You must have had a hard time.”
How much trouble you've had.
How heartbreaking it has been.

Now, hold me in your arms.
I will listen to you all day long and suffer with you.
In my arms, shake off the burden of your heart
A little bit warmer than before
So that you can be happy.
--- p.9

The weather wasn't great.
It wasn't a day where only good things happened.
There were things that upset me
I wonder why this is happening to me
I felt suffocated and in pain.
But it's not like there weren't any good things.
Even in the midst of pain and bad things
There were little things that made me laugh
There were certainly things that were enough to make me happy.
So in front of bad things
Don't bury the joy and preciousness of small things.

For us, the last day that has passed
Let's end by remembering the good things.
So your day was precious enough.

May this night be filled with that preciousness.
--- p.20

To you, I want to say this.
Don't change.
What needs to change is not you, who is still so dazzlingly pretty, so beautifully sparkling, so preciously lovable, but the heart of the person who cannot love you like that.
So there's no need to change.
Just because that person hates you, does that mean you want to abandon who you are and become someone else? Don't do that.
If you wear a mask to please others, you will have a scar in your heart that will never be erased, even from your own love.
--- p.22

Look at the people who have a good relationship that lasts a long time.
They are so different, but they understand each other.
It's about respecting and cherishing each other's differences.
It's about looking at and accepting the other person as they are.
Rather than expecting and hoping that you will become this kind of person for me, I cherish you for who you are.
In this way, by filling in each other's shortcomings, each imperfect person meets and becomes a complete being.
--- p.22

Whenever you decide to do something, you work hard for the first few days with burning will, but soon after, you give up.
It's been like that all along.
But that won't do.
If you can't do it once, you'll never be able to do it again.
There is no such thing as change tomorrow.
So grit your teeth.
If you procrastinate today, you will be procrastinating tomorrow too.
You will end up regretting the past and not being able to achieve anything in your life.
--- p.94

So even if it hurts, don't break down.
I will rise again.
It's not that I can't do it
I've made it this far as a country.
If you are afraid of the future
I will look back on the past I have accomplished.
Being the bad me
What I am doing well is
That it is determined by the standards of my heart.
--- p.123

Don't worry too much.
Don't be so impatient.
Don't try too hard.
I've been worrying about so many things all this time.
You and your heart, who have been like that, must have been so tired.
So today, I look at you and your heart, filled with love, for all your hard work, and hug you.
You worked hard, you did a great job, you are precious, you are enough, thank you, you are pretty, I love you so much, tell me.
--- p.120

To you who sometimes finds life so tiring and difficult
To you who is so sick and tired that you want to give up everything

I really wanted to tell you.

“You will definitely do well.
“You will do well because it is you and no one else.”

So, today was a great night for you,
I hope it will be a night that is so beautiful, if not splendidly beautiful.

Thank you for your hard work.
--- p.121

Today was so hard
And yet you endured so well

I can't tell you how special and pretty it is.

So today
Bad things, painful memories
Covering even the weariness of a weary mind

Let's have a really pretty night.

May it be a beautiful, if not splendidly beautiful night.
--- p.443

What it means to truly let go
That it is something that does not cause waves either externally or internally.
I came to know this after going through countless resentments, wounds, and pain.

I will let it go, I will give up, I will forgive.
Even though I made that promise
Suddenly, I remembered what had happened to me
If resentment, injustice, and anger well up
That is something that cannot be put down.

All my feelings, hurts, and resentments
Letting go of resentment is so difficult and long.

Today too I
I am lost in the long process of becoming real.
--- p.467

I'm not smiling because I'm happy,
Isn't it happiness that comes from smiling?

Even in the same situation, there are people who laugh
When I see someone who doesn't smile
Happiness is,
Isn't it a state of mind that is ready to laugh?

When I see someone smiling
Sometimes I laugh without realizing it
When I see someone holding their stomach because they're laughing
I found myself laughing and holding my stomach without realizing it.

So let's laugh a lot.
Then my side will smile
When those around me laugh
That smile will eventually come back to me.
