“Like how a snail carries a house on its back to defend itself, each one of us needs a warm person and space to embrace us all the time.”
Yearning from Home While I’m at Home is a book that doesn’t tell you what to do. It doesn’t have a rigid checklist of steps on how to heal from emotional wounds. Instead, it’s a book that shares your pain and embraces you as you find your way towards happiness.
Each chapter tells a different story. In this book you will find:
- How to fall in love again when you’ve been hurt before
- Why you deserve happiness more than anyone else
- How you can overcome and endure life when it gets weary
- Why people drift apart and break up
- How to appreciate moments of small but certain happiness, and
- What “home” really means to you
“To you, who are entirely facing a reality
and life where you can’t blame anyone,
I hope you live a better life.
I hope that someday, you’ll be happy.”
