I Decided to Live as Me is a gentle yet empowering invitation to step out of the exhausting cycle of comparison and finally embrace yourself—just as you are. Written by bestselling South Korean author Kim Suhyun and translated by award-winning translator Anton Hur, this book blends personal reflection, affirming insights, and compassionate wisdom into a heartfelt call for self-acceptance in a world that constantly pushes us to be someone else.
Through short, reflective passages, Suhyun explores themes like self-worth, boundaries, fear of judgment, and the quiet strength that comes from knowing and honoring your true self. It’s a book that feels like a conversation with a wise, kind friend who reminds you that you don’t have to earn your worth—you already have it.
"You don’t need to be better than anyone else. You only need to be the truest version of yourself." — Kim Suhyun
