[Daily Update #20] Walking While Lost | That Heart-Pounding Moment When You Get a 'Like'

That day, I tried to keep myself from looking at my phone the whole time.

After publishing this article,
I felt ashamed of myself for wanting to check for notifications over and over again.

——I was just getting by, pretending I didn't have any expectations.

But deep down,
I think I was wishing, 'I'd be so happy if someone read this.'

When night fell, I quietly opened note.

It lit up saying "Like: 1"

It was just that,
but my heart gave a thud
and my chest felt warm

Someone whose name I don't know and whose face I can't see
gently affirmed my words

It was just that simple

but in that moment

A feeling close to certainty spread through my chest, thinking, "Ah, maybe it reached someone."

That's an amazing thing, isn't it?

It's not about the "numbers," but the moment when "feelings" are moved.

And even though I hadn't moved a single step, I felt like I had connected with someone far away.

"I never realized a 'like' could leave such an impression on the heart"—that was the night I truly felt it all over again.

That day, I wanted to call myself
a "writer"
