A writer who knows my heart perfectly
『I am not lazy, I am charging』 The second essay of Dancing Snail
+ About ‘relationship detox’, taking it off, emptying it, keeping your distance, and keeping your heart
In 2019, Dancing Snail, a writer who won storm sympathy and favorable reviews from readers through "I'm not lazy, I'm charging", which contains a record of overcoming lethargy for a long time, returns with a new work. If the first book dealt with how to recharge the mind to overcome the life slump of the author, who is a 'homebody' to the bone, this book takes out another identity called 'human relationship minimalist' and provides 'relationship detox' for those who are tired of relationships. '.
"A moderately close relationship" is a book for those who are experiencing the so-called 'gwantaegi (relationship + boredom)', tired of unnecessary emotions and the numerous relationships surrounding them. A person lives in constant relationship with someone. However, since the relationship energy that an individual can handle is limited, there is no choice but to come a day when they are involved in various relationships. Just as you soothe your stomach with mild food when you get sick, you should empty your mind and soothe yourself when you get sick with people. It's time to desperately need a human relationship detox.
Even in a relationship, we need ‘property’ to relieve, empty, and distance ourselves. If you're too close, it's hard, if you're too far away, you'll be lonely. If the room in your heart is full or if you are hungry for a 'real' relationship, if you want a suitable distance that is neither close nor far, it is time to open this book. Let's look back on our current relationship through the 'Technology of Moderation' delivered by Dancing Snail, reduce the relationship that needs to be eliminated, and put our mind first. Relationship detox to create a healthy relationship that I want and choose is never difficult.
