The following is the excerpt from Korean Best Seller 말 그릇(a vessel for holding words) by 김윤아
— The excerpt from the book —-
This is posted on SNS after some woman met her high school classmate
내게는 힐링이 되는 사람이 있다.
상대를 보며 내 처지를 비관하지도 않고
위안 삼지도 않게 되는
온전히 마음으로 만나게 되는 사람이고
그래서 빡빡한 내 삶에 용기를 주고
다시 열심히 살아보자고 다잡게 해주는 사람이며
특별히 내게 충고나 조언을 하지 않아도
그냥 수다만으로 마음이 편해지는 사람이다.
[Translation]
There is someone who makes me feel better.
There's someone I meet with who doesn't have to be pessimistic about my situation, and who doesn't need to be particularly comforting.
She is the kind of woman who gives courage to my tight life and makes me live earnest again.
Especially even though she doesn't give me advice or counsel.
She is a woman who makes me feel at ease just by chatting with her.
