Who is the real me?
If asked that, perhaps there is no need to narrow it down to just one.
Rather, people are interesting precisely because they have many faces.
The 'Ann' on Note is also the real me.
The editor-in-chief of Ann Gahou is also me,
Ann-mama of the Showa-style snack bar is also me,
And the Bond Girl 🔫 Ann who has been popping up lately is also me.
All of them are 'real'.
Although there are many things I keep hidden,
I am not telling lies.
I live pretty much like this in my real life, too.
If you ask me what that's like, I'm a bit stumped, haha.
On Note, too,
'People you like,' 'people you respect,' 'people you admire'
naturally start to appear, don't they?
I have them too, of course.
One of them is VOID-san
I've always had a soft spot for people with what you'd call 'chivalry'.
Rather than wanting to be protected,
I find myself thinking, 'I want to be like this person.'
I am a woman, by the way.
But this tendency has never changed since long ago.
Incidentally, my husband is the exact opposite type.
If anything,
he is someone I feel like I have to protect.
It's a strange thing,
but the person you admire and the person you walk through life with can be different.
I think this is quite a common occurrence, isn't it?
Today's thumbnail was created using the prompt here ⬆️.
Since I admire them, I want to imitate them.
I go to read it almost every night before I go to sleep.
It's usually posted just before midnight.
I write comments sometimes, and sometimes I don't.
Sometimes I'm even moved to tears by the reply comments.
Even if I want to imitate them, I can't quite do it.
They are so full of love.
My true feelings just slip out.
When I'm talking in the comment section,
I feel like I'm being laid bare.
And then, I feel healed and encouraged.
⬆️ The person introduced alongside me in VOID's article
is my favorite, Furatsuki-kaachan.
Furatsuki-kaachan's article ⬇️
She creates highly impactful content, starting with her addictive thumbnails.
Originally, the quality of her writing was already high (and incredibly funny), but
lately, her illustrations have also been evolving.
⬇️ An article I wrote about VOID before; I was more reserved back then than I am now.
I have enjoyed note until now, but
from now on, I think I want to
show more of my true self.I am thinking.
To be honest,I am struggling with my direction,is what I mean.
At VOID's place, my tone is blunt,
and I just blurt things out as I please.
For half a year, I have been able to enjoy note even while in a period of confusion.
I am also working on monetization as a new goal.
The one thing I cannot avoid is the self-axis.
Part of my previous article
Rather than what I have achieved,
thinking about how to live in the present
in the midst of a journey of forgetting myself.
In real life, I am forgetting myself.
Or perhaps it is more accurate to say I am trying to forget.
If I cannot forget, maybe it is okay to reunite and restart.
These are the days I have started to think that.
The more I read note, when I write comments,
and when I write articles,
I feel like the other self I had forgotten is being shaken awake.
It does not have to be just one; you can move forward while holding onto several "truths."
Today, too, at your own pace,
you are fine just as you are.
You, and I.
Oh my!!
