Reasons I Couldn't Write

Hello, this is Maru.

I received a trophy from note.

I've seen this pop-up a few times before, but
the moment I touched the screen,

Oh no, it disappeared...

I ended up not knowing
what I was being congratulated for.

I hoped it would be saved somewhere and looked for it, but
it only appears once, doesn't it...

It had become a phantom, but
I got another chance!

This time, I was careful not to touch it
and succeeded in taking a screenshot. lol

This is also thanks to all of you.

Thank you as always.

No matter how old I get, being celebrated is
a happy thing!

Just as I was thinking that, I received some happy news too♡

Thank you.

Until three years ago, I couldn't write
at all, so to speak.

When asked, "What are you bad at?"
I would immediately answer,
"Speaking in front of people"
and "Writing."

I've been bad at writing book reports since I was a child, and even as an adult, when asked for my thoughts,
I would just end with
"It was interesting."
or "It was helpful."

"Maru-san, your writing is always just one line, isn't it?"
I was even told that once.

There were various reasons why I couldn't write, but
the biggest problem was

the belief thatI had to write the correct things.

That is what I was convinced of.

When you have this mindset,
truly nothing comes to mind.

Even if something does come to mind,

I immediately dismiss it, thinking,
“I think this, but I might be wrong” or “This is no good.”

In short, I think I just didn't want to embarrass myself.

I was so obsessed with being “correct”

that I lost sight of myself.
I was finally able to express myself




after being told, “You should just write as if you are speaking to one person.”That was the turning point.

Right now, 800 characters is the best I can do,
but I hope that by this time next year, I'll be able to write more.

I wonder what kind of changes will happen if I write every day ♪
That is something I'm looking forward to as well.

Life is unpredictable, considering I am now doing the thing I was worst at every single day.

That's why it's interesting,
and I want to make it even more interesting.

The fact that I've grown into someone who can think this way
is all thanks to everyone who reads my work.

The support of a “Like”
really gives me power.

If you leave a comment,
I'm so happy I could do a little dance.
(In my heart, I'm dancing every day.)

I look forward to your continued support.

Thank you so much
for reading until the end.
