Stories that give a friendly side in difficult daily life
『Peanut Diary』 is a picture diary in which writer Zeng Zhi sincerely captures the things of the heart in everyday life through 'Peanuts'. The Peanut Diary has been serialized through Instagram since 2019, and it is being serialized even at this moment, receiving passionate love from more than 28,000 readers. This book is a collection of carefully selected and completely newly edited episodes loved by readers among works serialized from 2019 to 2021. In addition, it includes a number of additional cuts and unpublished episodes to reach readers.
Zeng Chi is a writer who candidly conveys the sadness and fear, joy and comfort in everyday life. Zeng-Chi says that she has a refrigerator in her heart. The refrigerator is full of things that make it hard on the mind.
But the artist does not turn away from such fearful things. If you don't face sorrow head-on, you won't be able to face joy properly either. In order to feel the emotions we face in life, it is necessary to look carefully at the joys, the sorrows, and the insignificant things. Just as the author struggled with depression and became a friendly person.
There are many difficult things in life, but Zeng-Chi says that he will write and still draw. I still say I'll live. Holding things like clean pebbles in my hands. Because that's our life. Zeng Chi's paintings convey the will of such a life to us.
It's okay to be a little heartbroken,
Because we can be by each other's side
When it's not easy on our own, our friends reach out and hold us so that we don't fall and become a strong support. Zeng Chi also has such precious friends. A friend who casually gives out cookies on a new plate. A friend who gently strokes my hair even on days when I am not heartbroken. A friend who holds out a soft hand. An older sister who makes a lot of hand-picked food. A friend who tells me to keep living.
Such friends may not completely leave our sorrows, but they enable us to love. The writer says that when you love, you want to talk out loud. Maybe it's because love gives you some power. That love is sometimes tiring and painful, but still, love is something precious that cannot be given up.
Without family, lovers, sisters, and friends by our side, there would be no love. What makes us different from sadness. that's love We exchange love through friends. Through that love, we live as loving beings. 『Peanut Diary』 contains words like gifts to those who make us love.
