Summary:

This book is a collection of short essays divided into 3 parts: You Can Make Something Real Even If You Have To Go Up And Up Over And Over Again, For Those Of You Who Are Tired Of Always Holding Everything Alone, And That Passion Shows You The Most. Contains various topics from failure, life expectancy, relationship problems, to finding happiness.

Some of the writings in this book are sweet and heartwarming. Nothing in the slightest can make us re-motivated and excited again. However, perhaps to more mature readers, some parts of the book may seem a little patronizing or too mundane. Especially for fragments of verses that are too concise, it feels like reading someone's status upload on social media. Even so, overall, this book is quite comfortable to enjoy. Very fitting to read when we are bored or need space to calm down.

In my opinion, it is never too late to love yourself more. There is always an opportunity to make us kinder to ourselves. When many things feel complicated and complicated to make us want to give up, try to rest and rest. Maybe you're just tired and need a break to recharge your body's energy so you can move forward again.

Evaluation:

I prefer the cover. Simple but heartwarming. On the cover there is only one sunflower. Why sunflowers? Because sunflowers have a very good philosophy. Sometimes in life, when I experience many failures, disappointments, sadness, I feel like giving up, after reading this I am more excited to live

Recommendation:

I think this novel is suitable to be read by anyone, who has the same anxiety due to love or something else.
