If you sit quietly in your room and look back at your younger years, there is usually one face that stands out. It brings a faint, familiar ache to your chest. It is the memory of your first love. Or, more accurately, the memory of wanting someone who did not want you back.

You thought you were the only person in the world carrying a sadness that heavy. But you were not the only one hurting in that room. You were just part of a very long chain, and you couldn't see it.

Yes, It's You is a quiet, intimate conversation for anyone who has ever felt like a background character in their own life. Author Bunga Stone gently untangles the complicated knots of the human heart, exploring the "geometry of longing," the heavy guilt of having to turn someone away, and the tragedy of missing the quiet, safe love standing right next to you because you were too busy looking at a closed door.

It is time to drop the heavy bags of guilt and regret. You are not a broken link in a chain. You are beautifully, perfectly human. And you were never alone.
