In life, there are many times when we must embark on a journey.
Sometimes we travel with companions,
but more often, we journey alone.

The long journey you are about to take—
with teayii in this book—is no different.

This book collects the seasons of the heart,
passing through various pains,
some from my own experiences, some shared by others.

I only hope this book
makes your happiness feel more tangible,
and your suffering less like a thorn piercing your heart,
but more like a blanket offering warmth
to your soul.

Perhaps some passages in this book
will help you reclaim your heart.
And if not today,
may this be a source of strength for all travelers
to not give up and keep moving forward.
