The World Is Much Friendlier

The deep wounds and fears you have suffered in the past create a "wall around your heart" to protect yourself. This is proof that you have worked hard to survive until today, and it is something that should never be blamed. First, please say to that instinct that has desperately protected you, "Thank you for your hard work."

What would you see if you spent just today testing the hypothesis that "the world might be friendly to me"?

Once we are hurt, we become sensitive to malice, but in reality, the world is filled with many times more "quiet goodwill." The soft light streaming through the window, the green of the street trees someone has cared for, the gentle greetings exchanged at the register—these things do not attack you; they are simply there, trying to embrace you.

Because a hardened heart hurts when moved suddenly, you should perform "heart stretches" in your daily life. It is the work of gathering up small comforts, like "today's tea is delicious" or "the sky is beautiful."

When you open the door to your heart by just a few millimeters, you will surely realize that the world is unexpectedly smiling with its arms wide open. No matter what is written on the pages of the past, the protagonist who will write the blank pages to come is none other than yourself.

The world is quietly wishing for your happiness much more than you think. May the world look just a little bit kinder to you tomorrow morning than it does today...
