Even though I knew "what I really wanted to do," I couldn't quite make up my mind. That inner conflict is evident throughout the writing. On the other hand, in terms of life, I moved to the seaside town I had always dreamed of and finally began to approach a comfortable life... or so I thought, but realizing "I want to live here" revealed that "there are many other areas to reconsider besides where I live." "I want to move forward this way" is already visible. I kind of know how to make things comfortable for myself. But I lack courage. I desperately gathered the courage within myself, and as a result, I took a new step the following year. The worries, struggles, trials and errors, and determination leading up to that point. I selected and re-edited essays from my note, based on the theme, and compiled them into a single book. ─────────────── - Recommended for: ─────────────── ・Those who want to live comfortably for themselves ・Those who want to think about a way of working that suits them ・Those who want to make their life more comfortable If you feel that way, please give it a read. This essay collection doesn't contain solutions, but tracing the author's thought process, who has struggled in the same way, might give you a new perspective.
