Akane Festival | Voting | Evaluation | Event | Misunderstanding | Selection | How to decide my own rules | Playing with note

Spring is beautiful with blooming flowers and budding greenery.
It is a season when people's feelings, works, and kindness all blossom at once.

✨Thank you for always visiting.✨

Spring is a time when events are thriving in many places.

fafa's cherry blossom festival is also a huge success, with a breathtaking row of cherry trees.
Just looking at it gives me the feeling that a happy spring breeze is gently reaching my heart.
Please take another leisurely stroll while listening to your favorite music.

I also introduced a tip event in yesterday's post, so please check that out as well.

And, the event that was held from March 8th to March 31st,
Akane-chan Festival
the thumbnails were justtoo cute.

It was fun just looking at them,
and it felt like spending time touring a small art museum.

That said,
I don't have much confidence in this kind of 'cute and sparkly' sense.
I've come this far without really going through anime or manga,
and as for art and craft class time...
well, I'm the type who lightly skipped over that.

But instead,
I like going to art museums and looking at beautiful scenery.

So this time too,
I participated as someone who 'enjoys' rather than someone who 'creates'.

Looking at the works, jumping to the creators' pages,
and encountering other works.

That kind of time spent wandering around was very enjoyable.

And finally,

This festival has reached its deadline, and from now on it moves to thevoting period.

Now,
everyone who didn't participate in making thumbnails,

it's our turn.

Let's all vote.

However,

a problem arises here.

Choosing 3 works.

This is more difficult than I thought.

If it were all strangers, it might be simple in a way.
(Though I might not be that interested in that case.)

Conversely,
when there are people I know, the feeling of "I want to support them" arises.

And before I knew it,
I found myself in a situation where it was "full of people I know"...

Now, what should I do?

Manatsu-san's article
says some great things!

I can't help but think about
the "people who weren't chosen."

The feelings when they aren't picked,
the loneliness, or perhaps a small wound.

I'm sure there are others who feel the same way,
so you end up thinking, "Maybe I'll just stop voting."

Truly, these words—
that's why I was able to choose!

Akane-chan, the organizer, also talks about voting and this event
in her post⬆️

Voting via DM is, of course, also okay.

You can write in the comments section, or a DM is fine too, but
I wrote this article hoping that more people would vote.

Normally, you'd vote for it, without a doubt.
This kind of impact was more stimulating than anyone else's.
And it's a work I believe is the favorite to win for sure.

You can decide however you like.
Just because you didn't choose it doesn't mean you dislike it.

This isn't just about voting.

Buying paid articles,
Joining memberships,
Sending tips,

I believe this applies to everything.

You can keep moving 'just because,' but
if you feel any discomfort or distortion there,

stop for a moment,

and create your own rules.

This is very important.

Rules you decide for yourself
will protect you and reduce your hesitation.

Regarding paid articles, memberships, and tips,
I have my own personal rules

I thought about them and created them while continuing to write

Do you have any? Your own note rules

Choosing is not about denying someone else, but about valuing your own principles

Thank you for coming here again today
May your way of choosing be gentle and comfortable

Akane-chan, thank you for the fun project!
Akane-chan being praised
Even though I was a bodyguard, I was allowed to walk along as a fan!!
