Begin Again, and Again, and Again: Notes on the Art of Perpetual Renewal

暢銷療癒圖文書《I Used to Have a Plane》(會好起來的, 就算不是現在) 作者最新力作！
在破碎與重建之間，學會一再重新開始。

這是一本關於人生循環的圖文書——
關於懷疑、崩解、重新站穩、再次敞開，然後再一次重生。

藝術家暨作家 Alessandra Olanow
在某個凌晨三點醒來，腦中滿是停不下來的問題：
人生就是這樣了嗎？當一切瓦解時該怎麼辦？當我想關上自己時，如何仍然保持敞開？

《Begin Again, and Again, and Again》最初只是她寫給自己的筆記——
用圖像與文字，試著理解不確定的人生地圖。
最後變成一本關於「成為人」的節奏之書：
提問 → 懷疑 → 站穩 → 敞開 → 更新
人生不斷在這五個循環之中往復。

水彩插畫與私密文字交織，
這本書不提供答案，而是提供陪伴。

它告訴我們——
不要再等待那個「完成版的自己」，
改變不是抵達，而是學會與變動一起生活。

重新開始，不只一次。
而是一生都在重新開始。

A luminous illustrated meditation on learning to live with life’s cycles—for anyone in the middle of breaking open and rebuilding.

Artist and author Alessandra Olanow knows that life never unfolds as you think it will. She found herself awake at 3 a.m. with questions that wouldn't settle: Is this all there is? What do I do when everything comes undone? How do I stay open when I want to close down?

Begin Again, and Again, and Again started as notes to herself—a practice of thinking through images and words to map the territory of uncertainty. What emerged is a book about the fundamental rhythm of being human: the constant cycle of questioning, doubt, finding ground, opening, and renewal.

Through watercolor illustrations woven with personal narrative and philosophical reflection, Alessandra offers companionship rather than answers. The book moves through five movements—Question, Doubt, Ground, Open, Renewal—each holding its own texture.

Here’s permission to stop waiting for the final version of yourself—to trust that transformation isn’t about arriving but about learning to live with constant change.

It’s never too late to begin again.
