Status Updates From What You Are Looking For Is...

i know why i am reading this but i still don't know why i am reading this

Creo que en Japón hay una chica viviendo mi misma vida me ha hecho gracia pero en realidad no da risa las dos estamos muy tristes y perdidas

Es evidente que si la señora Sayuri le recomendó leer ese cuento infantil a Tomoka, es para que ella haga introspectiva sobre la percepción de sí misma, de cómo se siente con su vida laboral actual.

"They didn't go into the forest to look for an egg. They went looking for acorns and chestnuts. And unexpectedly they found a
giant egg."

i just hate this capitalist notion that you're considered useless to society when you don't have a job

"all my relationships had been business ones, and that I had no real friends after all, not even somebody to drink tea with."

“Nozomi’s face turns bright red. ‘I’m sorry. I’m still a trainee. But there’s a librarian in the reference section at the back who you can consult.”

on the last story and i just realised how all the previous characters tie into each other’s stories!

کاش امتحان نداشتم و میتونستم بدون عذاب وجدان وقت بذارم برای خوندن این کتاب و فکر کردن به جملاتش..🥲

کاش امتحان نداشتم و می‌تونستم تمام وقتم رو بذارم برای خوندن این کتاب و فکر کردن به جملاتش....
بدون اینکه گوشه ی ذهنم نگران درسام باشن🥲

Crying while reading the third chapter. The dilemma of a new mother with career is so beautifully and intrinsically woven into words.

This is very sweet. A modern fable for the overworked and lost. First chapter over and the ladies-wear worker with no path has found a way to take care of herself and embrace the journey. Really liked this.

Esse livro já me deu tantos insights... tô achando uma delícia ler ele. Leitura conforto de verdade. Uma surpresa viu

Libraries and librarians are magical

"How much had my own thinking limited my opportunities?"

sometimes our own never-ending fucking thoughts are our biggest enemy.

«هنوز احساس می کردم دارم در دل جنگل قدم بر میدارم. هنوز نمی‌دانستم می‌خواهم چه کاری انجام دهم یا اینکه از پس چه کارهایی بر می آیم. تنها چیزی که می دانستم این بود که نباید بترسم و اینکه نباید خودم را با بیشتر از آن چیزی که در توانم بود مشغول کنم فعلا باید به زندگی‌ام نظم می‌دادم و از میان مهارت‌هایی که در دسترس داشتم بعضی را برای آموختن انتخاب می‌کردم.»

This book is heartwarming, but Shuji is getting off toooooooo easy!

I am losing braincells with this. It actively treats the reader as an idiot.

Satış danışmanı Tomoka’nın ve eski hikaye editörü Natsumi’nin hikayesi favorim oldular şimdilik! Her insanın kendinden bir parça bulacağı hikayeler. Her biri yüreğinize dokunuyor🥹🤍🫂 Cidden çok beğendim, bir sürü yerin altını çizdim şimdiden!!

There are so many things to do, but I won’t make the excuse that I have no time any more. Instead, I will think about what I can do with the time I have. ONE DAY is going to become TOMORROW.

on the last short story, don’t want it to be over :(
