Unlike K-dramas, though, life doesn’t come with a handsome savior. So around the hollow void in your heart, at the very least, you should plant flowers, water them, nurture trees, play music, and bask in the sunny sky. Then, you alone can lovingly tend to that space.

that’s an incredibly fortunate thing. Most of the time, sadness feels ongoing, doesn’t it? But if you indulge in your sadness too much, you might start to resemble the heroine of a K-drama.

help people in need, and occasionally take a moment to look at the void in your heart.
When you do, you might think, “Ah, I’ve really had a hard life,” and let yourself feel that deep sorrow. If you can come to think of your misfortune as something in the past—“I was unhappy”—

“This version of me with a hole in my heart is still me.”

The shape of the void left by one’s parents during childhood and the love that others offer simply don’t match; it’s impossible to fill. Even today’s version of one’s parents cannot fill that void because they, too, have changed and grown over time. The "parents from back then" no longer exist.
