You can't have the things and realization in this world if you didn't went to a small group of people who will teach you to be brave amidst this trials of life. “ I want to manage my time more to our family, Jane.

The things I wanted for you was not the one that you wanted.”

Ordinarily, I would experience a surge of anxiety, wondering what new danger lay ahead. Not today, though, as I did not even bother looking. Rather, I went directly to my inbox and erased every single message. Distractions and baggage are gone. "This is who I am now." I muttered, letting go of the burden of my history. "I have no knowledge of previous events. All of it is behind me.I felt brave and liberated for the first time in years.

I first had to earn for myself the right to then try to do so. I returned into my apartment. Then I got right to it without wasting any time. I set all of the books on top of the table and grabbed a highlighter. I was ready to begin once I cracked one open. I was learning now for once I know—I was not just underlining mere platitudes or skimming through pages. I now grasp information that I should've grasped earlier. Concepts of attachment, childhood development, apology languages, trust-building. I took notes. I reread paragraphs. I slowed down. It wasn’t performative. It wasn’t desperate. It was necessary.

'Is it going to be difficult? 'It will be uncomfortable at first,' she said honestly. 'You will have to unlearn things. That is always harder than learning something new. But after the uncomfortable part there is something on the other side that I think you will recognize as what you have always been reaching for.' He was quiet for a moment. Then he said, 'My sister told me you do not sugarcoat things.' 'No,' she agreed. 'Good,' he said. 'I do not trust sugarcoating.' He paused. 'When do we start?'

But I didn't, not really, until years later, when I found you. The First Lesson isn't about light, Lira. It's about love. The love we give away doesn't leave us. It goes out into the world and takes root in other hearts. Clara's love for me took root in my heart. My love for you took root in yours. The Unmaker may have burned the tree, but it can't destroy the seeds. The seeds are still there, buried in the soil of who you are. They will grow back. Not the same. Never the same. But something new. Something yours.

I poured two cups of tea and set them down, then sat across from him, waiting. He took a slow breath, as if gathering his thoughts carefully. “I have been doing a lot of thinking, and a lot of learning—about myself, about why I acted the way I did, and how to be better. But I realized that understanding my past was not enough on its own. I needed help to unlearn the habits and fears that had been with me for so long.”

This book is not only about a person who was able to remain human after all that people have done, but it is about the fact that people are still not ready for kindness. They are not ready for generosity, because once you give something to them, they immediately become greedy and don't appreciate it at all, until they lose it all. They are not ready for understanding. After all, if someone understands them, they will think that someone is trying to control them.

They are not ready for love, which can be endless. After all, if love is happ
