[Confession] The 'Origin of My Expression' I Discovered After Reviewing Over 130 Days of Posts with AI, After Losing Myself While Obsessing Over the Number of 'Likes'

Today marks my 137th consecutive day of posting on note 👀
Tuesday, July 28th.
It is just past 6:00 PM.
Thank you so much for always opening my note 😭
I am sorry that I haven't been able to keep up with the magazine lately 💦
I hope you can read this slowly in a cool room with your favorite drink in hand ☺️

Now, after writing every day for 137 days, I have to be honest: there are days when I run into a 'conflict' I can't tell anyone about.
Tonight, I want to write down my true feelings, which I've been trying to hide by acting cool.
Actually, lately, the number of 'likes' on my note has been gradually decreasing.
At first, I pretended not to care, thinking, 'Well, there are times like that.' But every day at 6:00 PM, when I hit the post button, I would unconsciously refresh the screen over and over to check the notifications. Seeing the numbers not growing, I would panic on my own, thinking, 'Have people gotten tired of my writing?' or 'I need to write something that gets more engagement.'
Even though I was acting all high and mighty, telling my readers to 'live smartly,' I was the one most trapped by the 'noise of numbers,' being swayed by the figures on the other side of the screen.
That is why, last night, I closed the screen and asked AI this question:
'Out of all the things I've written over the past 130+ days, which one do you think was the most 'like me'?'
I had the AI read the text of the articles I've posted so far and had it objectively dissect them.
Seeing the answer that came back, I felt a tightness in my chest.

1. When you chase numbers, the 'warmth' disappears from your words

The data the AI presented was surprisingly cold, yet filled with surprising kindness.
The AI said this:
'The writing you did in the beginning had a clumsy but passionate warmth, a desire to 'lighten someone's heart just a little.' However, while your recent writing is very polished, it uses textbook-correct language out of fear of failure.'
It hit me.
Because I wanted 'likes' and wanted to be evaluated by everyone, I had unknowingly been chasing 'safe writing that won't be hated' and 'titles aimed at going viral.'
○ The version of me trapped by numbers: Trying to create 'correct writing' that others will evaluate, hiding my honest emotions and stories of failure ➔ It becomes bland, odorless text that doesn't touch anyone's heart.
○ The intelligence of returning to the origin: Treating numbers as just data and delivering true-to-life words that I genuinely found 'interesting' or 'saved me' ➔ Warmth begins to flow between me and the readers.
It was only after being pointed out by an objective partner like AI that I realized how much of a 'slave to numbers' I had become.

2. [Copy and Paste OK] A reflection prompt to regain your 'origin of expression' when you feel lost

If you ever feel lost in your own social media posts or daily work, wondering 'What am I doing this for?', don't carry it alone—try feeding your past data to an AI.
Copy this text on your smartphone and try feeding it to an AI as is.
I appoint you as my 'mentor of thought and expression.'

Read the [sample of my past writing] presented below and extract the 'warmth of my own words' and the 'origin of my expression' that I originally had.

[Output Format]
1. The point in my writing that feels most like 'passion (my true self)'
2. A point about an 'honest perspective' that might be getting lost in my recent writing
3. A 'warm one-line piece of advice' for me to continue expressing myself in my own way without worrying about numbers or evaluations

[My past writing sample]: (*Paste text you've written in the past that feels right to you)

3. Starting today, I'm beginning again from here

Whether the number of 'likes' is high or low, there is a real human being on the other side of the screen reading my writing. I had lost sight of that obvious and important fact in my anxiety over numbers.
So, starting today, I'm going to stop acting cool.
While relying wisely on the wonderful technology that is AI, I intend to deliver what I feel in my daily life, my failures, and the moments when my heart felt a little lighter, with the same warmth as always.
If I feel like I'm being swayed by numbers again, I can just go back to the origin with AI.
Once I thought that, a weight was lifted off my shoulders, and for the first time in a while, writing became fun again.
In my main paid note, I am publishing a collection of prompts that incorporate not just AI techniques, but these 'AI thinking methods for continuing to express yourself with your own axis without being swayed by numbers or evaluations.'
When you get tired of other people's eyes or the numbers, please come take a look.
To you, who always reads my clumsy writing and hits 'like,' thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you have a peaceful night in your cool room tonight as well.

🖋️ Editor's Note

The evening of the 137th day. Tonight's article turned out a bit embarrassing (lol). But when I had the AI look back at my writing, I realized, 'Oh, I wasn't writing perfect articles from the start, so I can relax a bit more.' I feel like I've grown a little more on this 137th day. Thank you so much for always watching over me! I'll keep writing in my own way starting tomorrow!
