Perfectionism is the Garden of Eden growing reignless inside your mind- stems slowly seeping through the cracks of your skull until your lungs become scented with them, until your eyes are obscurred by rose thorns, until your voice and bones and fingertips are laced with vines.
An obsession, perhaps.
A hunger.

Arrange Marriage | JC
BOOK #1 "I'm not just a pretty face, Seungcheol. Underestimate me at your own risk." Jeonghan glared at Seungcheol, stepping into his personal space. "You might be a model, but you've just walked into a whole new kind of runway - my world." Seungcheol husked out as he grabbed Jeonghan's jaw, tilting his head up and connecting their lips. One year, without a single slip-up. That's all Seungcheol needs - a marriage of convenience to divert media attention and stabilize his company. But what he didn't anticipate were the distractions Jeonghan would bring into his meticulously controlled life. The real catch? Convincing Jeonghan, the boy he once rejected in high school, to agree to this arrangement. Can they survive a year of this delicate dance, or will old wounds and new sparks complicate their plan?Complete

Mistake of the Mind
*** "At its root perfectionism isn't really about a deep love of being meticulous. It's about fear. Fear of making a mistake. Fear of disappointing others. Fear of failure. Fear of success." -Michael Law ***

The Art of Enough (Finding Peace in a World That Wants More)
We live in a world that never stops asking for more. More success. More money. More followers. More everything. Yet, despite the endless chase, many of us feel emptier than ever. 📘 The Art of Enough: Finding Peace in a World That Wants More invites you to step off the treadmill of constant striving and rediscover the quiet power of sufficiency. Blending psychology, personal reflection, and timeless wisdom, this book explores why we are wired to never feel satisfied-and how we can break free from that cycle. Inside, you'll discover: 🌱 Why the brain craves "more" and how to retrain it. 🌱 How consumerism and social comparison fuel discontent. 🌱 The surprising science of gratitude and contentment. 🌱 Practical ways to simplify your goals, relationships, and daily life. 🌱 The courage to embrace ordinary moments-and find extraordinary peace. This is not a book about giving up ambition. It's about setting boundaries with it. It's about redefining success, slowing down, and learning to say: "This is enough." If you've ever felt tired of chasing, this book is your gentle reminder that you already have more than you think.Complete
