"Books will always be essential for some people. And bookshops are a place for those people to discover the books that will become important to them. I will never allow bookshops to vanish from this world."

The Earth goes around.

We gaze at the moon, illuminated by the sun. Feet on the ground and facing the sky, we go forward, changing as we do.

In order to deliver a larger truth to the person looking down at an open page.

In a world where you don’t know what will happen next, I just do what I can right now.

book review - what you are looking for is in the library

currently reading this book and am so in love with it <33 i think that it does such a beautiful job of discussing how to find joy within the journey of life while balancing a stressful career. often we fall into the cycle of just pushing through day to day, thinking if we can eventually reach this milestone then we could be happy. but happiness is found within motion, within everyday life. even when you have the career or shop or child you have always dreamed of, it will be strenuous and more difficult than you may have imagined. but the joy is within doing what you love, not in one certain position.

rating (so far): 9/10

would recommend: to those looking for a relaxing read, who enjoy translated japanese literature or are looking for a place to start

Things don't always go to plan, no matter what your circumstances. But the flip side is all the unexpected, wonderful things that you could never have imagined happening. Ultimately it's all for the best that many things don't turn out the way we hoped. Try not to think of upset plans or schedules as personal failure or bad luck. If you can do that, then you can change, in your own self and in your life overall.

⁠Acontece com todos os livros. Mais valioso do que o poder que existe neles, é o jeito como você os lê.
