Deep in the Drawer

There are things hidden deep in everyone's drawers that they don't want to throw away and dare not open easily. A piece of candy wrapper with the corners rolled up. A letter that was not sent. An old book covered in transparent tape. A story that ended abruptly one afternoon. What this book contains is what is deep in the author's drawer - those small, soft, and slightly painful memories brought from childhood. A picture book that was torn into pieces and then glued back together bit by bit. There is nowhere to hide the arguments and tears. Those clumsy courages of learning to squat down, pick up, and fight back when no one is supporting you. She writes her own story, but as you read it, you will be reminded of your own drawers. It turns out we are all the same. We all carefully hid some things, so deeply that we almost forgot them - it was these things that quietly grew into what we became later on. ---
