Foggy mountain landscape with tall evergreen trees in the foreground and a pale gray sky above. In the center of the image, a Korean quote is written in white text, and at the bottom left there is a small thumbnail of the book cover for “아프면 보이는 것들,” along with the authors’ names.
“They say pain is an experience where the whole world shrinks into a single body.”
(From the #Koreanbook #아프면보이는것들, literally: What You See When You’re #Hurting.)

So many people are pushed deeper into isolation not because they lack strength,
but because they lack words the world is willing to hear.
