작고귀여운내향｜Little cute introvert

"Introversion, perhaps, refers to the direction towards oneself."

Dedicated to the curled up self, brave and gentle care.

Writer 박공원 is a freelance designer. The commuting distance from home to work is less than 3 meters. Just like this extremely short distance, his daily life is also simple and pure: walking, running, planting plants, taking care of a small vegetable garden, collecting stationery... He continues to share his ideas found in the community trails, as well as the work and life of a freelancer on social platforms.

His pictures and texts are presented with simple lines and colors. His style is as plain and gentle as his daily life. Through his love for the little things in life, he carves out his own day step by step. He spends most of his life at home. He paints and writes in a small room, handles work that comes in at any time, eats well when it is time to eat, and prepares to sleep when it is time to sleep. On weekends, he reads books, chats with friends, takes care of cats, and cleans the environment. Sometimes he goes to the fields to take care of the vegetable garden and take a walk for exercise. There is no extra decoration in his life. He just waits for the paint to dry on the drawing paper, maintains the most basic appearance, and moves forward with the rhythm of nature.

"On days when it seems like I haven't done anything, I try to think back to the things I take for granted." 박공원 is good at finding meaning in moments, and reweaving seemingly ordinary daily routines through focus and care. He writes down and marks those unclear ideas one by one, and slowly gains the power to refocus on the present. In the ordinary and even easily shaken daily life, he chooses to focus on the most basic emotions and work, such as eating on time, replying to emails, shopping, returning borrowed books... Those little things that we once took for granted and were easily ignored, he planted the seeds of encouragement and love in them.

"Little Lovely Introversion" is a book about how those seeds sprout and how to reunite with "oneself". From 박공원's honest and unadorned words and pictures, we learn to respect the different pace of life for everyone, and believe that there are still unexpected glimmers in the daily routine.
