[ENG/ YOUNGMIN] You’re either tired or you don’t have anything that you like*

The year has gone by and when you think about “what I want to do this year or whether I've spent this year satisfactorily”, don’t you have the thought that you are not satisfied with what you are worth? When reading this book, the part that I feel the most is that it’s also courage to give up on things you don’t like, rather than force yourself to do it, and you have to know how to comfort yourself that you have been doing well on your own rather than being consoled by someone else. I’m sure that many people, not just me, will think that giving up makes you a loser, but the author says that knowing to give up is real courage. There are obviously situations in society where you have to force yourself to do things you don’t want to do. Even though you have to consider various circumstances, but I think giving up what I don’t want to do and trying to do what I want to do is something I cannot do without a lot of courage. Also, when you regret your own mistakes or failures, your self-esteem drops and you blame yourself. I am also the type who usually blame myself, the type who is conscious of others, and then I have many thoughts like “ah, it is because of me that things turned out that way. I am not good so I have to be good at it.” so I regret a lot about it. But even though the more you do it, the better you can be, it’s surely a way that makes people get too tired. In such situations, you tell yourself that it’s okay, you have worked hard even if it’s a pity, and I think being on the same side with yourself is a powerful word of strength. It seems that you need to comfort yourself rather than expect to hear comforting words from someone else. May tough moments pass quickly and pleasant moments stay longer. May your days to be filled like this. I hope you will always have someone to talk to about your day, and when you are alone, not have any negative thoughts. Focus on what’s in the present so you can always be safe and well and I want to be a person who can comfort the ones I love the most!
