Let Go

Guruko loved the tales of Gurumin, The Shape of Empathy, most of all. She always felt her heart moved by how simple things—like smiling, listening to others, or simply being here—could achieve so much.

But she was also aware of the reality of the “modern world” on Earth.

She knew it wasn’t that simple.

The human brain is capable of so many things.

It can send people to the moon, yet it can also create countless weapons to destroy each other.

It allows us to love, as well as to fear or hate.

The universe is in constant motion, but human beings have the ability to stop, take time, think, and let go.

In the rush of our lives, we soon forget what truly matters to us. The ones we love the most are also the ones we hurt the most.

What if we were finally able to let go?
