We all carry wounds along the path of growing up.
As time passes, if they don’t fade, they become important lessons.

One day, they will heal.

At some point in life,
many people come and go.
Some were once close but now act like strangers, leaving a pang of sadness.
Some leave behind small memories.
Some leave stories and moments that linger.

Whether they leave first or we do,
we always regret losing someone from our lives.
Some we miss every day,
some bring a smile when we think of them.

It’s not just you or me—
we all have someone we’ve lost along the way.

Sometimes someone doesn’t want to disappear—they just don’t want to come back.

This book, NASA Can’t Bring Her Back, is a collection drawn from my own life and the lives of those around me.

Because I believe many others have gone through similar stories, though each of our endings may differ.

Whenever someone comes to me for advice about love, I always tell them I’m no expert—I’ve failed at love myself. All I can do is listen and let them vent.

So now, are you ready to listen to their stories too?

Meeting someone again
can feel like a phenomenon worth waiting for…
We think it will be love,
but it turns out to be just a dream.

Though we say we expect nothing,
deep down, we still secretly hope for the best.

If only making life decisions
were as easy as choosing to wait for their return.

Each type of flower requires different care—
relationships might be the same.
I hope you find the right flower,
learn how to nurture it,
and I hope you are the flower someone has been searching for too.

While someone
is an important part of our memories,
we may also be a cherished memory for someone else.

While we try to forget someone,
we might simultaneously be forgotten by another.

We are always remembered and forgotten,
yet in the end, no one can remember us completely—
and even we find it hard to forget someone entirely.

What we can do is…
let those around us remember the good in who we are,
and create beautiful memories during the time we share.

This book invites us to reflect on certain things,
some stories, some people we remember clearly,
and some parts that may have been lost along the way.
