"I'm Still Too Far From Becoming An Adult" is definitely the kind of book that I would love to re-read over and over again. I love how the author naturally correlates his personal experiences, from the comic books he read, to the movies they watched, the K-dramas he liked, the novels he read, the things he bought, the people he loved, and the friends' stories he heard, into everything he writes. I like how simple and little things can make us realize a lot about life. I love how he was able to make me appreciate what I usually missed appreciating. I like how realistic his approach was. I didn't even know that there are people who also felt the same way as I did when I watched that movie, that kind of feeling.
The book is filled with inspirational quotes that I believe have had a significant impact on my life. I'd like to share some of these quotes with you:
1. "I know things may go wrong.
I may fail or suffer even more than I do now.
But still, shouldn't I try out for myself?
Whether I succeed or fail, if this is something I want or dream of,
shouldn't I still give it a try even if it'll lead to regret?"
2. "You aren't the only person in the world who's suffering, sad, or lonely.
Suffering, sad, and lonely people exist everywhere in the world.
And this, sometimes, serves as our consolation."
3. "I must be that kind of person. When I was there, I missed South Korea.
When I'm in South Korea, I miss that place. I must be the type of person who always struggles with longing,"
When we're in this place, we long for that place.
When we're in that place, we long for this place.
4. "Everyone seems to be living a busy life for a better tomorrow,
moving another step forward in a better way.
But I feel stagnant, stuck in the same spot.
But I guess living another similar day isn't always bad.
Because you care about what others think, you push yourself to start unnecessary changes.
I wish you'll be happy
I want to say this to myself.
I want to be someone who feels happy on my own.
Whether I live through the same day or live a different one,
someone who's satisfied with myself,
someone who's happy with myself
— I want to be that someone."
5. "There's nothing you cant do."
If you are feeling lonely, heartbroken, having a hard time moving on, grieving, battling depression, anxious about life, and disappointed with yourself, this might be the book you're looking for. I felt like 329 pages aren't enough for this book. To the one reading this, I hope you find the happiness you've been looking for.
